Kevin Knox Looks Impressive In Training Camp

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox has reportedly looked good during training camp, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. "When Kevin Knox takes good shots, he's going to make them. He's put a lot of time into his shooting. I think he's gotten stronger," said Thibodeau. It's unlikely that Knox ever lives up to the […]

Will Barton Appears Ready To Go

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton is reportedly ready to go despite head coach Mike Malone not actually seeing him since the end of the season. However, Malone has heard good things from team trainers and doctors. It sounds like Barton is in a good place both mentally and physically heading into the start of the […]

Michael Porter Jr. Has Good Chance To Start

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. has a good chance at landing in the starting five for the upcoming season, according to head coach Mike Malone.

LeBron James Staying With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $85 million extension with the team.

Both James and Anthony Davis are locked into long-term deals with the Lakers. The […]

Rodney Hood Hopeful To Play Opening Night

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) mentioned that he has still yet to do any 5-on-5 workouts yet. However, Hood believes that he will be able to suit up on opening night. The season is less than a month away, so it's tough to imagine Hood being ready that quick. Derrick Jones Jr. is […]

Carmelo Anthony Likely Coming Off The Bench

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony is expected to come off the bench with the second unit to begin the season. Head coach Terry Stotts mentioned that Derrick Jones Jr. and Robert Covington are likely going to be the starting forward to begin the season.

Otto Porter Could Be Limited This Season

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter could have his minutes limited during the upcoming 2020-2021 season.

He looked horrible when he was out there, but he was […]

Jayson Tatum Signing Max Extension

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is signing a five-year, $195 million extension with the Boston Celtics, which includes a player option in the final year.

Forward Juan Hernangomez has agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Signs Offer Sheet With Hawks

Restricted free agent forward Bogdan Bogdanovic has signed an offer sheet with the Atlanta Hawks that would pay him $72 million over four seasons. Considering the Kings had already been involved in rumors of doing a sign-and-trade with Bogdanovic, it would be a surprise to see them match the deal. If he does end up […]

Torrey Craig Signing In Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks and forward Torrey Craig have agreed to a contract, though the terms have not been disclosed. The fourth-year forward averaged 5.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. Craig is a nice depth piece for Milwaukee, but he doesn't project to be a factor in most fantasy leagues this upcoming season. His strong […]

Carmelo Anthony Returning To Trail Blazer

The Portland Trail Blazers have agreed to a deal to bring back veteran forward Carmelo Anthony. Anthony started all 58 of his games for Portland last year, averaging 15.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest. The problem this upcoming season? Portland brought in Robert Covington and Derrick Jones Jr., complicating things at the forward spots. […]

Gordon Hayward Signing With Hornets

Free agent forward Gordon Hayward has agreed to a four-year, $120 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets. With Charlotte not having the cap space to make the deal outright, there's going to be some corresponding move here. Hayward faded a bit in Boston on a team full of offensive threats, but will be either the […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Signing With Portland

Free agent forward Derrick Jones Jr. is leaving the Miami Heat and is signing a two-year, $19 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. Best known for his incredibly leaping ability, DJJ started 16 games in Miami this past season. For the year, he averaged 8.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 52.7 […]

Joe Harris Staying In Brooklyn

Forward Joe Harris will return to the Nets, agreeing to a four-year, $75 million deal as NBA free agency began on Friday night. The 29-year-old had his best season with Brooklyn during a chaotic 2019-2020 season, averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while also shooting 42.4 percent from behind the arc, the second-highest […]

Davis Bertans Agrees To Five-Year Deal With Wizards

Free agent forward Davis Bertans is returning to the Wizards on a five-year, $80 million deal.

Rodney Hood Staying In Portland

Small forward Rodney Hood has agreed to a two-year, $21 million deal to stay with the Portland Trail Blazers. Hood averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 21 games last season. He shot 50.6 percent from the field and 49.3 percent from three. Hood torn his Achilles last season, so it's quite possible […]

Josh Jackson Signing With Pistons

Free agent small forward Josh Jackson is signing a deal with the Detroit Pistons. After two bad years in Phoenix, Jackson spent last season with the Grizzlies, playing 22 games and averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists on 44 percent shooting. He showed signs of improvement, but this move still just feels like […]

Danilo Gallinari Signing With Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a three-year, $61.5 million deal with free agent forward Danilo Gallinari. The veteran forward spent last season in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder are starting a rebuild. With averages of 18.7 points and 5.2 rebounds on 40.5 percent shooting from deep last year, Gallo is a huge addition for […]

Dwayne Bacon Signing With Magic

Free agent small forward Dwayne Bacon has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Orlando Magic, with a team option in the second year. Bacon started 11 of his 39 games last year for the Hornets, averaging 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting just 28.4 percent from three. Bacon is […]

Gordon Hayward Becomes Unrestricted Free Agent

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward has decided to opt out of his $34 million player option for next season. The 30-year-old forward is walking away from quite a lot of money, but he should get a solid offer in free agency. The Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, and Indiana Pacers have already reportedly shown interest […]

Saddiq Bey Drafted 19th overall

Villanova winger Saddiq Bey, who stands at 6-foot-8, was selected 19th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. The pick was made by the Brooklyn Nets, but Bey will be on the move to the Detroit Pistons in a trade that will send Landry Shamet to the Nets and Luke Kennard to the Los Angeles Clippers. […]

Minnesota Drafts Aleksej Pokusevski At No. 17, Heads To Thunder

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected forward Aleksej Pokusevski with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Serbia, but they will reportedly ship the 18-year-old winger to Oklahoma City in exchange for a package that includes Ricky Rubio and the Nos. 25 and 28 overall selections in the first round. The Thunder have […]

Celtics Select Aaron Nesmith With No. 14 Selection

The Boston Celtics grabbed small forward Aaron Nesmith with the 14th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Vanderbilt. The Celtics starting five seems firmly entrenched heading into the '20-21 year, so it's unlikely that Nesmith plays a significant role out of the gate, but his sharpshooting abilities should earn him playing time […]

Spurs Nab Devin Vassell With No. 11 Overall Pick

The San Antonio Spurs have added shooting guard Devin Vassell to the fray with the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Known as a two-way wing, Vassell should immediately fit in as a three-and-D guy at the game's highest level, having shot 41.7 percent from long range during his two collegiate seasons at […]

Deni Avdija Drafted At No. 9 By Wizards

With the ninth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards have drafted Israeli forward Deni Avdija. A talented young player for Maccabi Tel Aviv, Avdija has good size and playmaking ability. He's also potentially the worst shooting wing in this draft if we base things on his free throw shooting, as he shot […]

Cavaliers Use Fifth Overall Pick On Isaac Okoro

With the fifth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Auburn forward Isaac Okoro. Okoro averaged 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 blocks, and 0.9 steals in his lone season with the Tigers. Okoro seems to have elite feel for the game, and his ability to defend multiple positions should mean he'll […]

Detroit Acquires Trevor Ariza, No. 16 Pick In 2020 Draft

The Detroit Pistons have acquired veteran forward Trevor Ariza and the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft from Houston in exchange for a future first-round selection.

Klay Thompson Injures Leg, Will Undergo Tests

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson (leg) has suffered an injury to his lower leg and he is set to undergo tests. Early indications sound as if the injury may be significant for Thompson. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that he was unable to put weight on the leg while he was […]

Nicolas Batum Returning To Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum unsurprisingly accepted his $27.1 million player option for next season. This comes as no surprise to anyone after Batum's fantasy value died in Charlotte. He was barely part of the rotation last year and it's unlikely anything changes this season. Batum will serve as a benchwarmer and veteran mentor for […]
