Want to move NBA media off tanking columns this spring? Treat them to stories debating which exemplar personality NBA teams should send to the lottery drawing in May. The conniving GM or impactful young player or a retired legend or Botox'ed owner. Guessing games regarding grinning representatives, awaiting
Did a lot of driving on Wednesday. Highway stuff, lots of space, few interactions with nearing cars, instrumental music. Had a lot of time to think about important things, wasted it thinking about basketball. Like, the Wizards. The hell is this. Mavericks. What the heck was that. Emptied the tank
They said we were done trading tons of first-round picks for NBA players, but that was because the last guy this happened to was Desmond Bane. No offense, Desmond Bane. Jaren Jackson Jr., however, is worth several first-round picks. Even from a terrible team like the Utah Jazz. However, Memphis
The thing I always posited, was slightly proven and then made so I'd never be forced into defending it, was the idea of Eddy Curry starting at prominent center on a great team. A club winning games and multiple playoff rounds while working Eddy Curry more than half
Jaden Ivey was been the most-likely Chicago Bull candidate for, Detroit decided, too long.
The Clippers won 17 of 22, Cavs cranked out victories in 15 of 22 contests. They play each other on Wednesday, in Los Angeles. Hey. Who wants to screw up, both teams. James Harden for Darius Garland. Sounds like a bad-but-legal trade Kelly Dwyer would make up (yearly subscription is
To make good for his new team, Giannis Antetokounmpo does not need to rush back from his most recent debilitating calf strain and risk a greater injury we don't want to mention. The Bucks, the franchise Giannis Antetokounmpo seeks rewarding while attempting to sustain his well-earned Great Dude-status
ICYMI: Warriors fumble, whiff, clang (fake Jonathan Kuminga and Chris Bosh trades), Philly pulling it off (Embiid is not C-Webb), Things I Need Eric Collins For (Charlotte and LaMelo Ball and the NBA's most excitable announcer). The ongoing irrelevance of the Chicago Bulls is to the benefit of
Love to listen to games broadcast by Eric Collins, Charlotte Hornets play-by-play voice. Collins was a Bulls sideline reporter during Michael Jordan's final championship season, noticeably ebullient and why wouldn't he be? The word "bull" is in the middle. Collins began calling Charlotte contests
The Sixers topped Indiana on Monday and good, the Sixers needed a win. An opportunity to show us that they saw that we saw what they conducted – that wee spat – during the club's loss to Cleveland last week. Philly's most recent loss to Cleveland. There were
The two quickest dismissals in the NBA, now that they don't let Joey Crawford in the building, reference the 82-game season, and enhanced draft picks as reward for winning NBA games. Non-starters, each. NBA players and owners will not abandon an 82-game season. Recently, they've added
Memphis saw what Atlanta has – Corey Kispert, C.J. McCollum – wants some of that, has to have it. Memphis sees what New Orleans did, Jordan Poole, needs it. Waterbugs are out. After a brief back-in-love with small guards, NBA teams instead seek a five-man lineup of 6-9 five-toolers. Players are
