I love that the Toronto Raptors went out there and traded for Brandon Ingram. Stars are moving to The 6—especially if Aspiration is cutting checks on the low. Organizations like the Raptors have two options: 1.) They can do whatever it is the Brooklyn Nets are doing; intentionally losing, running out lineups full of young […]

The 2025-26 NBA season starts this week. Can the Oklahoma City Thunder become back-to-back champions? Will Nikola Jokic win another MVP? Is this LeBron James’s last NBA season?

Let’s make predictions based on out-of-context historical precedents, random coincidences, hunches, women’s intuition, delusions of grandeur and dreams provided by marijuana leaves. […]
The NBA is back—the Oklahoma City Thunder ring ceremony before they meet the newly outfitted Houston Rockets. Then, Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler jump Luka Doncic in an alley, circling him, knives out.

Restricted free agency is an antiquated concept in conflict with the current NBA CBA designed to penalize teams for overspending. Jonathan Kuminga and Quentin Grimes are in limbo because no one has the cap space to sign these guys to the contracts they deserve. The Chicago Bulls have finally struck a deal with their restricted […]
I spent the last hour listening to Mark Cuban cosplaying as Lionel Hutz—sweating through his suit and accidentally dropping his brown-bagged lunch on the floor when he opened his briefcase—running defense for Steve Ballmer after Pablo Torre Found Out the Clippers circumvented the NBA salary cap to keep Kawhi Leonard on the team. Steve Ballmer […]
I’ve been waiting to hand out awards until I realized I was waiting to see what happens with Al Horford and Josh Giddey. Never delay anything in your life in anticipation of Al fucking Horford news.

The New York Knicks front office has full clarity of their championship window. They understand little bitty Jalen Brunson won’t be a Top 5 playoff performer forever. I trust they will make the correct moves this offseason to keep the Knicks in the title picture. But after watching the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers […]
Malik Beasley is fucked. Last season, Malik Beasley averaged 16.3 and became only the 4th player in NBA history to hit over 300 3-pointers in a single season.
