We're just a few days removed from the 2022 edition of the NBA Draft. As is always the case, just a couple of picks were virtual locks with the rest of the picks going left and right and handing us more than a few surprises. That is without even entering the trade realm and the […]
Suns Officially Tender Deandre Ayton
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton will be a restricted free agent this summer. As expected, the Suns have officially tendered a $16.4M qualifying offer to Ayton.

2022 NBA Draft Losers for Fantasy Basketball - NBA Draft Recap
The first depth chart shakeup event of the offseason is in the books.

While most “Loser”-based draft articles can simply just […]
2022 NBA Draft Winners for Fantasy Basketball - NBA Draft Recap
After months of prep and dozens of mocks, the 2022 NBA Draft is now complete. There were some surprises along the way, including a trade that sent De'Anthony Melton to the Philadelphia 76ers, but for the most part, it was a pretty quiet draft. When it comes to fantasy hoops, one thing regarding the draft […]
Pistons No Longer Targeting Deandre Ayton?
Upcoming restricted free-agent center Deandre Ayton was reportedly on the Detroit Pistons wish list. However, after the team selected Memphis big man Jalen Duren during the 2022 NBA draft, it appears that Detroit has now had a change of heart. The 23-year-old is still likely on his way out of Phoenix, with teams like the […]
Deandre Ayton Likely On The Move
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton might've played his final game with the organization. The young center wants a max deal this offseason, but the Suns appear to be hesitant about giving him that extension.

Deandre Ayton On The Pistons Radar?
Free-agent center Deandre Ayton is expected to be pursued by multiple teams over the summer, with the Pistons being one of them. Still, because the 23-year-old is a restricted free agent, the Suns have the ability to match any offer heading his way. However, Detroit may make Jerami Grant available in a sign-and-trade scenario, although […]
JaVale McGee Interested In Staying In Phoenix
Free-agent center JaVale McGee is interested in remaining in Phoenix. The veteran averaged 9.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks last season with the Suns and was considered one of the best backup big men in the league. McGee probably won't have a consistent role in any lineup moving ahead, especially considering his advanced NBA […]
Deandre Ayton Disappointed Phoenix Didn't Offer Max Deal

The 23-year-old averaged 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds during the 2021-22 season. He also shot a career-high 63.4% from the field and 36.8% from deep. However, the former No. 1 overall pick hasn't played […]

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul compiled a game-high 10 assists during his team's Game 5 victory Tuesday.
