As the NBA evolves, the point guard position evolves with it. Before, the league’s point guards had a straightforward job description. They were floor generals. The point guard was responsible for setting up his teammates, and only scoring when absolutely necessary. Those days are long ago. Now, we’re in...

Two words are trending late in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night. NFL rigged. That's certainly not going to go over very well at the NFL offices in New York. Cincinnati and Kansas City are tied, 20-20, late in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs' most-recent drive had the ...

The Eastern Conference has become a challenging set of teams to compete against. The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are experiencing this firsthand this NBA season. However, Western Conference supremacy may be dying in the NBA. For a long time, it was assumed. On an annual basis, the Western Conference featured the league’s best teams. Whichever team emerged from the Eastern Conference was likely food in the NBA Finals.

As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Charlotte Hornets could be sellers, and the Los Angeles Lakers have already shown to be buyers. Whether the Lakers like it or not, they are in an urgent position to contend if they want to make the most of having LeBron James at the end of his NBA career.

There isn’t an NBA team being monitored more than the Toronto Raptors as the Feb. 9 trade deadline nears. Among the prized trade targets teams are eyeing is OG Anunoby. Should that be the case?. In 45 games, Anunoby is averaging 16.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 steals in...

There will be a lot of eyes on the Toronto Raptors ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Many insiders consider them as the main team that front offices monitor. Could that include the Memphis Grizzlies?. No matter what NBA team you root for, you’ve got to respect the Grizzlies. Albeit,...

Some NBA teams project as more likely to make moves than others. Moreover, there are obvious potential buyers and obvious potential sellers. With Luka Doncic on their roster, the Dallas Mavericks obviously fall into the former group. By contrast, the 23-28 Toronto Raptors land in the latter club. This is...

The Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls are two teams that many will be monitored ahead of the NBA trade deadline, but for opposite reasons. The former could be buyers, while the latter could be sellers. Sometimes, we all need a little bit more energy. NBA teams need an injection...

Myles Turner has been the focus of many NBA trade rumors during his seven-year tenure with the Indiana Pacers.

The Detroit Pistons will likely move on from Bojan Bogdanovic ahead of the NBA trade deadline. He’s 33. They’re a bad team. It doesn’t take too much to put two and two together. The best thing you can do in any economy is corner the market. If...

A rebuilding team in the NBA is less likely to trade for a player. By contrast, they’re more likely to trade for first-round picks. Acquiring a player who’s already on a significant contract is risky. It limits the flexibility you’ll want to have as you move forward.

In the NBA, it’s hard to know when a rebuild should end. It’s also hard to know when it should begin. If your young, rebuilding team is starting to flash potential, there will always be a temptation to make a win-now trade. At the same time, some will argue that you’re limiting your team’s future in doing so.

The Golden State Warriors will have some tough decisions to make when it comes to building their roster. With Stephen Curry still in the fold, the team has a chance to win NBA titles at full strength.
