Tim Hardaway Jr. Sticking With Mavs
Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. has decided to accept his $19 million player option for next season.

Although, he'll have […]
Avery Bradley Expected To Test Free Agency
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has reportedly declined his $5 million player option for next season. It's unclear why he did this, but he probably won't get a higher offer elsewhere.

Klay Thompson Has Torn Achilles
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson suffered a torn Achilles on Wednesday and will miss the entire 2020-21 NBA season. It's a huge setback for Thompson, who missed all of last season due to a torn ACL.

Celtics Nab Desmond Bane At No. 30 Overall, Rights To Memphis
The Boston Celtics selected shooting guard Desmond Bane out of TCU with the 30th overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, but Bane will be on his way to the Grizzlies.

University of Kentucky guard Immanuel Quickley has been selected 25th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. The pick was made by the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he will be headed to the New York Knicks in a draft day trade. Quickley spent two years at Kentucky and took a big leap last year when he […]
Leandro Bolmaro Selected 23rd Overall
Argentine-Italian guard Leandro Bolmaro, who stands at 6-foot-8, was selected 23rd overall in the 2020 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.

Josh Green Heading To Dallas At No. 18
With the No. 18 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Mavericks selected Josh Green. The 20-year-old averaged 12 points, 4.6 boards, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals while at Arizona. However, his value on the fantasy front may be limited outside of his defensive prowess, as his shooting numbers are somewhat of a concern. He […]

The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of acquiring guard Landry Shamet in a three-way trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit Pistons. The 19th overall pick in tonight's draft is heading to the Pistons, while Luke Kennard is going to the Clippers. Shamet averaged 2.1 threes per game with the Clippers last year […]
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.

Timberwolves Use First Pick On Anthony Edwards
With the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Georgia guard Anthony Edwards. A physical shooting guard, there are valid concerns about his shotmaking, as he connected on just 29.4 percent of his three-point attempts in his lone college season. Still, Edwards averaged 19.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, […]

Evan Fournier Sticking In Orlando
Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier will pick up his $17 million player option for next season. It's unlikely Fournier would get more money on the open market, so probably a smart idea by him.

Wesley Matthews Declining Player Option
Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews has reportedly decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. The veteran guard started in all 67 games that he appeared in last season.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Declines Player Option
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has decided to decline his $8.5 million player option. This doesn't come as shocking news after the Lakers acquired guard Dennis Schroder. Caldwell-Pope obviously wants a bigger role on a team and should have plenty of suitors. He's a decent defender and usually a reliable shooter from beyond the […]
Buddy Hield Expected To Return To Starting Lineup
Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield played off the bench for most of the year last season. Honestly, Hield looked solid off the bench averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists per game. However, the Kings have traded Bogdan Bogdanovic, which means Hield is likely headed back into the starting five. Hield was unhappy with coming […]
Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn Returning To Miami
Miami Heat guards Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn have been given guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. The organization will bring back both players on a team-friendly $1.7 million contract. Robinson will continue to chuck up shots from beyond the perimeter.

Bradley Beal Staying In Washington
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is reportedly not going anywhere this offseason, according to general manager Tommy Sheppard.

The trade rumors are […]

Former MVP guard James Harden's future with the Houston Rockets looks increasingly in doubt.

Eric Bledsoe, George Hill Shipped To New Orleans
The Milwaukee Bucks have traded guards Eric Bledsoe and George Hill to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jrue Holiday.

Jrue Holiday Traded To Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks made a huge splash addition on Monday, trading for guard Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans gets Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three future first-round picks in the deal.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Traded To Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks are going all in. On Monday, they acquired forward/guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova, and D.J. Wilson.

When the NBA lifts the trade moratorium on Monday, one of the first moves is expected to be a trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder that would send guard Dennis Schroder to Los Angeles.

Avery Bradley Considering Declining His Player Option
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has switched agents and mentioned he is considering declining his player option. The deal is worth $5 million, so it's tough to imagine Bradley getting much more than that in free agency. Possibly, Bradley wants a change of scenery or a bigger role elsewhere. He won't have much fantasy […]
Pelicans Actively Shopping Jrue Holiday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday could be on the move this offseason with new head coach Stan Van Gundy taking over.

Spencer Dinwiddie Drawing Interest Out West
Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie may find himself on a new team when the season kicks off in December. With the organization looking to add a third superstar to join Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, dealing the 27-year-old may be the most logical option for a Nets team looking to win a title. Dinwiddie is […]
Warriors To Potentially Deal No. 2 Pick
The Golden State Warriors have been in talks to trade the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft.

Goran Dragic Doubtful For Game 6
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Dragic has been listed as doubtful each game since suffering the injury in Game 1. It sounds like Dragic will test out his foot pregame, but it's highly unlikely that he suits up here. Tyler Herro […]
