The Toronto Raptors are not done trying to make moves after naming Nick Nurse as their head coach. Sure, their cap sheet is a mess. It would be all too easy for them to run it back next season and hope another year of their reinvented offense yields different results. According to The New York Times‘ [...]

There might be a chance that neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor Los Angeles Clippers fully commit themselves to the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes. Granted, it’s a slim chance. Hollywood in general is considered his preferred landing spot. But the possibility exists that neither team will throw everything they have, plus the kitchen sink, at the [...]

If you haven’t already heard, the first bomb of the 2018 NBA off season was officially dropped Friday afternoon: Kawhi Leonard wants out of San Antonio.

The Nuggets have virtually no cap space or ability to improve their roster this season with their current $106 million payroll already being over the salary cap of about $102 million. That means the Nuggets want to shed some salary, and there is one guy on their roster who has seemingly been on the trade [...]

Despite a rash of injuries and not having their two best offensive players for the postseason, the Boston Celtics persevered and were one game away from making the NBA Finals and being the first team to dethrone LeBron James in the eastern conference since Twitter’s infancy. We saw young studs like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen [...]

If you didn’t like the Cleveland Cavaliers’ return in the Kyrie Irving trade last summer, you’re bound to hate it now that they trail the Boston Celtics 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. No, Irving isn’t playing. He’s out for the year recovering from a knee injury. But the Cavaliers’ performance against an ostensibly shorthanded [...]

Last season, back when LaMarcus Aldridge was doubting his role with the San Antonio Spurs, he may have tried getting Damian Lillard to ask the Portland Trail Blazers to re-acquire him via trade. No, seriously. This sounds like it happened. Here’s the skinny, according to Bleacher Report’s Ken Berger: Still, multiple league sources advised not [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not going to trade Russell Westbrook. There are, however, a few NBA teams that think they should. Consider what Zach Lowe said during a recent episode of The Lowe Post podcast (via Bleacher Report’s Kyle Newport): “There’s an increasing number of people around the league who think the Thunder should look at [...]

The 2017-18 season has brought with it some bizarre story lines, the one that continues to persist is the question of what is going on between Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard only played in nine games during the regular season and despite being cleared by team doctors to return from his quad [...]

Maybe the biggest blockbuster trade that occurred this summer (they were a few) was the Clippers trading Chris Paul to the Rockets for Lou Williams, Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell and Sam Dekker. Paul had been the heart, soul and leader of the Clippers franchise for six seasons, but things have gone even better than the [...]
