Ty Lawson is not the player he was before leaving the Denver Nuggets. Far from it. There are nights when you see his quickness and evasiveness in its fullest forms, moments when you hearken back to his days as a fringe All-Star and, despite his diminutive frame, one of the most electric point guards in [...]

After a long off-season, Ty Lawson has finally found a home for the 2016-17 season in Sacramento.

Jerian Grant, Jose Calderon and Tony Wroten Jr. are on the books for next season, but neither is an ideal option. Calderon gets killed defensively and [...]

This thing between Ty Lawson and the Houston Rocket isn’t working out. Lawson has basically fallen out of interim head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s rotation, and the Rockets are desperate for change following a god-awful start to the 2015-16 season. Any change general manager Daryl Morey makes is almost sure to include Lawson—assuming, of course, the [...]
