Around The NBA: DeRozan’s Future, a New York Holiday? Kuminga Staying? Lakers Trying, More

With lots of teams set to have more significant draft and more open-ended roster situations over the summer, it appears that this season’s Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline next week could be a bit more muted than it has been in years past. Yes, Trae Young is already elsewhere (more on him later). But it seems quite possible that changes of scenery for other All-Stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo , Zion Williamson and Ja Morant could all happen over the summer or beyond. The league’s best clubs may...

Purdue Basketball: It’s Time to Work the Jab

I have a post sitting in drafts comparing how Purdue uses its pick-and-roll and post-up game to the way George Foreman used his jab to dominate Heavyweight boxing in the early 70’s. I spent a good bit of time on it, but I’m glad I held off on publishing. I thought this was going to […]

Arturas Karnisovas Now Looking To Build Around Bulls ‘Core’ With Deadline Trades? Really?!

Earlier this month, Chicago Bulls team president Arturas Karnisovas was apparently poised to make his squad the Eastern Conference’s “biggest sellers” at this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline. This week, the Bulls are… going to be buyers? This is the kind of overreaction that one can expect out of the least competent current front office leader this side of maybe Kings GM Scott Perry, who apparently has been inspired by Chicago’s recent four-game win streak to jettison assets and equity in ...

SGA Tops Luka Doncic for NBA MVP Odds with February A Few Days Away

As we head into February, the season and race for the NBA MVP has reached full speed where the true heavyweights begin to distance themselves from the pack. The conversation has shifted from early-season intrigue to a high-speed chase, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander currently way out front. However, the rearview mirror is crowded with players like Luka Doncic, who continues to produce logic-defying stat lines, and Cade Cunningham, one of the rising stars of the league. In a field this t...
