Trade

The Los Angeles Lakers did not trade for Isaiah Thomas with the intention of making him the starting point guard at the expense of Lonzo Ball. This really shouldn’t even be a question, and yet, for a hot minute, it absolutely was. His agent, Aaron Goodwin, told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols immediately after the trade that [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers spread kerosene, lit a match and blew up about half of their roster yesterday. They essentially gave themselves a mulligan on their entire 2017 off-season in the process. Gone are both players that were acquired in the mega trade of Kyrie Irving to the Celtics. Isaiah Thomas is a Laker (for the [...]

Rodney Hood is drawing no shortage of interest on the trade market. With the Utah Jazz seemingly not-so-thrilled about footing the bill for his next contract, the 25-year-old continues to be one of the most talked-about names on the NBA’s chopping block. Leading into Thursday’s deadline, no fewer than five teams are trying to land [...]

The Golden State Warriors are continuing to trounce the rest of the NBA yet again this season, seemingly on autopilot, as they possess the league’s best record (41-12), offense (115.6 points per game) and point differential (+9.6). Even with their constant domination and in order to put together all-time great starting lineup they had to [...]

Did the Houston Rockets’ shellacking of the Cleveland Cavaliers this past weekend convince them to enter salary-dumping mode in advance of this year’s trade deadline so they could make a run at LeBron James this summer. Yes. No. Maybe. Okay, how about this: You decide based off this latest Ryan Anderson tidbit. According to ESPN [...]

In what one would assume will be one of the more ho-hum trades of the next few days leading up to the deadline, the Bucks acquired Tyler Zeller from the Nets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are apparently hoping the Los Angeles Clippers sell low on DeAndre Jordan. As they continue to make the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round picks off-limits in trade talks, the Cavaliers are trying to use their own first-round choice, plus some salary filler, to make a dent in advance of Thursday’s deadline. We know [...]

Shabazz Muhammad has gotten lost in the shuffle amidst the T’Wolves success this season and he is not happy about it. Muhammad turned down a four-year, $40 million extension from Minnesota before the 2016-17 season and is currently on a one-year, minimum deal and is no longer in the rotation for the T’Wolves. Muhammad has [...]

The Clippers seem to be headed toward a complete rebuild and the fire sale is underway after trading Blake Griffin to Detroit this week (despite what Steve Ballmer may tell you). There are two other valuable veteran pieces on the trade block, guard Lou Williams and All-NBA center and longtime Clipper DeAndre Jordan. Jordan has [...]

Here’s hoping you haven’t yet had your fill of Anthony Davis rumors this season, because we’ve got another batch waiting for ya.
