When he was acquired by Houston from Denver, Ty Lawson was thought to be that one piece to bring the Rockets over the top. Sure, Patrick Beverley is a more-than-serviceable PG, but Lawson is widely thought to be much more dynamic. However, the Rockets have struggled severely this year, and Lawson’s not to blame. So, [...]

Stephen Curry is thorough. Just in case you couldn’t tell by the Golden State Warriors’ history-making 16-0 start to the season, Curry would like to spell it out for you: This team is not yet fully satisfied, not after winning a championship this season, not even after becoming the first NBA squad to begin the [...]

Ty Lawson is mostly fine with playing among the Houston Rockets’ second-stringers. A lot is going to change in the aftermath of the Rockets’ decision to fire head coach Kevin McHale. One of those tweaks, it seems, includes moving Ty Lawson to the bench. He started in each of Houston’s first 11 games this season, [...]

But if anyone still had any doubt about how Harden [...]

It’s good to know that Daryl Morey always has James Harden and Dwight Howard on his mind. Well, maybe not always. But certainly before he pulls off a blockbuster trade, like the one he brokered Sunday night, when he acquired embattled Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets for a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2016 and [...]

For months, both the Denver Nuggets and their point guard Ty Lawson have been wanting to part ways with one another. The Nuggets have been patiently looking at, and weighing all the options for them to find the best deal they could get. To no one’s surprise, several teams (Rockets, Lakers, and Pistons) showed enormous [...]
Ty Lawson’s future with the Denver Nuggets doesn’t look good. Admittedly, neither does his trade value. After getting arrested in Los Angeles for driving while under the influence in the wee hours of Tuesday morning—his second DUI offense in less than six months—Lawson is no longer a trade commodity. He’s an off-court liability, and even [...]

The Denver Nuggets and their long-time point guard Ty Lawson are tired of each other. After failing to clinch the postseason for the second-straight year, Lawson seems to have gotten tired of waiting for the team’s management to turn things around for the franchise. A divorce was inevitable. Fortunately, both sides are on the same [...]
