The NBA provides the masses great drama during nearly every month of the year — February, for many reasons, is no different. Aside from the All-Star Game-related festivities, the trade deadline is always a popular period of time for the frenzied onlooker. On the surface level, the notion of asking whether the buyers will buy

Back by the popular demand of pretty much only myself, it’s the second annual edition of Around the NBA in 15 Trades. We’re taking all 30 teams in the lead up to the Feb. 7 trade deadline and finding a happy middle ground for prosperous barterdom. For Day 3, we take a dive into the lottery
Just over a month ago, one Basketball Insiders writer foolishly suggested that the Brooklyn Nets — despite all their youth, determination and overall grittiness — should strongly consider tanking out for the remainder of the 2018-19 season. At the time, the Nets were floundering without do-it-all playmaker Caris LeVert — holders of a dismal 3-10
On the heels of news he’d miss a second straight game with a lingering heel issue, Washington Wizards guard John Wall is headed toward season-ending surgery. Washington Wizards guard John Wall missed Friday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls with a left heel issue, and he was pretty quickly ruled out for Saturday night’s game
On Thursday, the NBA released the first returns of voting for next month’s All-Star Game. Within the hour, people everywhere — both fans and media members alike — were sharing their thoughts. Of course, this is hardly a new phenomenon and, more often than not, the shakier results end up smoothing out by the final
In the NBA, tough decisions must be made. Sometimes it’s a front office deciding to go in another direction with a trade or release. Other times, it’s a coach having to pull a guy out of the active rotation. Most of the time, however, it’s a player figuring out the next move to benefit his
John Wall won’t see the court for 10 months thanks to season-ending surgery. Where does leave his contract in the NBA’s ranks of the worst of the worst? Earlier this season, Marc Berman of the NY Post dropped a line in one of his articles about the Knicks that “some in the league believe” New
Despite a disappointing, injury-riddled 2017-18 season, it’s too early to give up on John Wall as he looks to bounce back and lead the Washington Wizards. For John Wall, the 2017-18 season was a massive disappointment. He slugged through an injury-riddled campaign before the Washington Wizards were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
By trading Marcin Gortat and replacing him with Dwight Howard, the Washington Wizards may have solved their biggest problem: The locker room. Directing blame for the Wizards over eight years of John Wall’s career has been a choose-your-own-adventure of misery. Is injury and inexperience to blame for the team’s inability to break through to the
DETROIT, MI – APRIL 6: Detroit Pistons head basketball coach Stan Van Gundy shouts out instructions during the second quarter of the game against the Dallas Mavericks at Little Caesars Arena on April 6, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan.

The trade market has been an active one this season and, on December 15, trade chatter should only increase; players that signed contracts prior to September 15 will become eligible to be traded. While some big names have already been moved — Jimmy Bulter, Kyle Korver, George Hill, etc. — anything could happen between now
John Wall believes that the Wizards need to change things up if they don’t have a successful season. John Wall is facing a pivotal season with the Washington Wizards. His chemistry issues with Bradley Beal have been well publicized in the past, and this could be a make-or-break year for the backcourt duo. To poison
A late run that narrowed the Sacramento Kings’ lead to one point with 3.2 seconds to go all but summed up this iteration of the Washington Wizards: Too little, too late. The Wizards led by six going into the fourth quarter, but turnovers and Nemanja Bjelica (!) going supernova spurred a Kings run that ultimately
Ever since taking hold of the Golden State Warrior reins in 2014, Steve Kerr has had an embarrassment of riches to work with. The mainstays—a two-time NBA MVP in Stephen Curry, a three-time All-Defensive first-teamer in Draymond Green, a four-time All-Star in Klay Thompson—got their first taste of gold in year one of Kerr’s tenure.
After early-season scuffles, the Rockets are getting a pass while the Wizards are getting buried. Do we have the order mixed up? Soooo….is it time to worry yet? In baseball, the thinking goes that you can start paying attention to stats and records after Memorial Day. In football, it’s common knowledge that September records should
A smart NBA team could probably buy very low on Kelly Oubre Jr. right now, if they chose to do so. Buying low on an asset is usually a pretty good idea in the NBA. If said asset turns out to be a good player, it’s an obvious win for a franchise. If not, the
The New York Knicks have developed a reputation for short-sighted moves chasing star power, and they haven’t really worked. That’s why a John Wall trade could be right in their wheelhouse. Going back pretty much 20 years now, it seems like the New York Knicks just can’t get out of their own way. Front office
Bradley Beal might be the easiest player for the Washington Wizards to trade, and the Charlotte Hornets are trying to form a dynamic backcourt. The Washington Wizards are a picture of dysfunction right now, and they may be willing to trade virtually anyone. Breaking up the backcourt tandem of John Wall and Bradley Beal is
As November draws to a close, the NBA has broached the quarter-season mark. Twenty games may not seem like a lot, but there is plenty that can be taken away from the play of any team through this point in the season. The 2018-19 season has been quite a surprising one so far, even more
On Nov. 21, the New York Knicks faced off against the Boston Celtics in what was expected to be an easy route for the green team, but it turned out be their worst loss of the season. The Celtics not only lost to their longtime division rivals, but were beaten with almost relative ease. New
In the long run, it could really go either way in regards to who was the winner of the Jimmy Butler trade. Philadelphia got an All-Star still in his prime who could potentially vault the franchise to the top of the east, but it could backfire if Butler takes his business elsewhere this summer. Minnesota
Washington came into Tuesday night’s game with a pathetic record of 5-11. They were down by as many as 24 points. Boos rained upon them on the court. It appeared as though it was curtains for these Wizards. Even with all the crap that they had gone through, both on and off the court, Washington
The Washington Wizards are on the verge of a fire sale, which would mean some very good players being moved. Here are five trades Washington could make. You get a Wizard! You get a Wizard! For the right price, your favorite NBA franchise can have its own Wizard. After a rough 5-11 start, the Washington
The Washington Wizards are reportedly open for business, but the New Orleans Pelicans don’t need to make a desperate deal for Otto Porter. Literally every day, things seem to be going further and further off the rails for the Washington Wizards. They are reportedly willing to trade at least one of John Wall and Bradley
