Kawhi Leonard has not been a Spur for six years, and I'm still traumatized that the Rockets passed on him for Marcus Morris, who only played in 17...
Udoka is from Portland, and graduated from high school in 1995, the year Sabonis the Elder debuted for the Trailblazers. He also played for...
Alpi can make all-NBA this year, but for the good of the Rockets, the franchise would benefit the most if he misses it next year and doesn't...
If you're starting in 2002, the biggest missed opportunity is not getting off of Eddie Griffin (RIP) sooner. The guy had Jabari's draft pedigree,...
At the end of the day, Daryl Morey being able to get back anything in return for James Harden is probably creating something out of nothing. Prior...
The best case scenario was probably going to be following the blueprint Orlando set last season, where they finished just outside of the play-in,...
One thing I could see OKC trying to do with their excess picks in the coming years is to target aging guys on expiring contracts as superstar...

Seems very clear that both TyTy and Garuba are seen as non-prospects around the league at this point, considering both of them were waived even...
Might want to check the quotes/stats in my post and see who they actually refer to. :) I agree that Embiid/Hakeem sound quite similar at this...
Salary of $8M is guaranteed for 2023 - 2024. For each of the next three years going forward, team has an option to waive him on 6/29 (last day of...
