As the NBA threatens to get upended around them by Thursday’s trade deadline, the Lakers have been quiet thus far. Rumors about a potential Rui Hachimura/De’Andre Hunter swap quickly petered out when the Cleveland Cavaliers sent Hunter to the Sacramento Kings instead.

DALLAS — Every single time the Celtics boarded the team plane to embark on a roadtrip this season, Anfernee Simons has sat right next to Baylor Scheierman. But when the Celtics boarded their flight from Dallas to Houston late Tuesday night, Scheierman’s seatmate was nowhere to be found. That’s because, as the Celtics prepare to […]
In a fairly rare occurrence, there is a superstar on the trade market and the Lakers are a complete non-factor. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trade demand has finally come and the Lakers, in their current situation, have nothing competitive to offer relative to other teams across the league. As a result, there have been no links — […]
James Harden is a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. A few hours after news of the trade became public, he spoke with ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.

The Houston Rockets have won three straight games.
