Things are starting to heat up on the NBA Draft front specifically for those teams already eliminated or facing playoff elimination this week. The 2019 March Madness Tournament kicks off next Tuesday with the “First Four,” and the major teams and players take the floor on March 21st and 22nd, which will ramp up draft

There’s a reason why “Unorthodox” is the operative word here. There were several big winners from the trade deadline. Philadelphia got the perfect and relatively young scorer in Tobias Harris to put next to Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Toronto added an experienced, jack-of-all-trades center in Marc Gasol to cement their status as a contender.
It’s that time of year again, the NCAA tournament has arrived. For basketball fans, March and the NCAA tournament represents a three-week stretch of constant entertainment in a win-or-go-home format. High-major, blue-blood programs are pitted against each other, and those mid-major beasts looking to prove their worth set out to pull off the elusive “Cinderella
The Toronto Raptors continue to tussle with the Milwaukee Bucks for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. While they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena on Monday, we have to remember the game was on the second night of a back-to-back and the third and final stint of a road trip.

The hits just keep on coming for the Lakers. Seriously, it’s getting to the point where you wonder, how could it possibly get any worse? The Lakers definitely had holes in their roster, but what’s happened this season was the absolute worst-case scenario. It would take a miracle for them to make the playoffs now,
On Thursday, Mar. 8, the Los Angeles Lakers were functionally eliminated from postseason contention. With the decision to sit LeBron James in back-to-backs and put a minutes restriction on the future Hall of Famer, the franchise officially waved the white flag on their already fractionally-small playoff hopes. This season was supposed to be different, obviously,

As LeBron James clings onto his playoff life with the injury-riddled Los Angeles Lakers and Kyrie Irving attempts to maintain the slumping Boston Celtics’ positioning in the standings, the third member of the former Cleveland Cavaliers big three is relishing the chance to play the game he loves. “I feel like a big part of

While the Atlantic Division has been the class of the league in 2018-19, it is also ripe for change come free agency. I covered the potential for change in Toronto last week – the Raptors looked well-positioned for the present as well as the future– but it’s not only Toronto that could be in for

The NBA regular season is a marathon, not a sprint. The action after the All-Star break is filled with teams giving younger players an extended look, franchises making a deliberate playoff push while trying to sneak in rest for their stars and some squads dare we say it – tanking.

Al-Farouq Aminu remembers when he was on a minimum contract. It was five summers ago in 2014. The Dallas Mavericks had signed him to a two-year, $2.1 million deal with a player option for the second season.
