It should be a very interesting off-season for Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs. The situation between Leonard and the organization can only be described as bizarre as Leonard has only appeared in nine games and despite being cleared by the team weeks ago, he has yet to return to the court in the [...]

It doesn’t look like Nerlens Noel is nearing the end of his brief tenure with the Dallas Mavericks. To be sure, the 23-year-old center can leave over the summer, when he enters unrestricted free agency. But he probably isn’t bolting before then.

The New York Knicks have been on the search for a better option at point guard all season while rookie Frank Ntilkina develops. Starting Jarrett Jack as your point guard in 2018 is not the situation you want to be in. After striking out on Kemba Walker (or even Isaiah Thomas) the Knicks ended up [...]
