The Denver Nuggets are trading Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, sources tell @samamick.bsky.social. More details: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv… [image or embed] — The Athletic (@theathletic.bsky.social) June 30, 2025 at 7:25 PM The Denver Nuggets are sending Michael Porter Jr.—a critical part of their 2023 NBA Championship […]
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. He was instrumental in helping the Detroit Pistons make the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Pre-Covd shit. The BeforeTimes. He and the Pistons were close […]
This week was the 2025 NBA Draft. I love the draft. Kids in silly suits, their moms/girlfriends getting ready to click deliver on all those items they’ve been adding to their Amazon carts on Uber rides to practices. The occasional open weeping. The draft also serves as clues, puzzle pieces to help form all 30 […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 2024-25 NBA Champions. Congrats to them. (You can read that last sentence sarcastically or sincerely depending on your own personal mood. I could not tell a grand jury which way I meant it.) This winners and losers list will describe which players, coaches, GMs or owners are winners and […]
Jeanie Buss just hit a lick. Mark Walter purchased the Los Angeles Lakers for $10 billion—the largest U.S. professional sports team sale. Ever. Apparently Jeannie Buss will stay as the team governor but Mark Cuban said he’d still help make decisions with the Dallas Mavericks, only to be shocked when Luka Doncic was traded. Jeanie […]
Orlando paid a hefty price to acquire Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane 👀 (Picks via @joshrobbins.bsky.social) [image or embed] — The Athletic (@theathletic.bsky.social) June 15, 2025 at 11:32 AM Desmond Bane is leaving Memphis and the ear drum-shattering sounds of Ja Morant’s gunshots—and heading to Orlando—and the ear drum-shattering sounds of Franz Wagner bricking jumpers off […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder are one game away from winning an NBA Championship after their 120-109 Game 5 victory over the Indiana Pacers to go up 3-2 in the series. Thursday night could be the end of the 2024-25 NBA season with the Pacers losing in front of their home fans—in front of their hoes. […]
As a Knicks fan, I’d hate to see a 37-year-old with a busted achilles and a social media addiction join my beloved team. The man is almost guaranteed to miss a chunk of the season with some injury and, even in Golden State, he’s brought strange vibes to every ball club. I’m not sure how […]
Hey, I hate the Oklahoma City Thunder. I know as a Knicks fan, I am legally required to run my car into anyone I see wearing a Pacers jersey. Reggie Miller mocked Spike Lee. Roy Hibbert blocked Carmelo Anthony at the rim. The Pacers have eliminated my favorite team from the playoffs in back-to-back seasons […]
We can be crybabies, complaining about the refs missing calls or Tyrese Haliburton’s dad being allowed in the arena or the locker rooms showers being slightly cold or whatever—OR—we can lick our wounds, head back to Madison Squade Garden for Game 5 and turn Rick Carlisle into the new Doc Rivers as the Indiana Pacers […]
This was supposed to be an article praising the New York Knicks on their Game 1 victory over the Indiana Pacers but then I remember good things do not happen to me. As a child I was was given the curse of being born. I didn’t ask for this. So to avoid depression-typing 1,000 words […]
After back-to-back heartbreaking 2nd-round exits, the New York Knicks finally reached the Eastern Conference Finals—4 wins away from an NBA Finals berth with only the Indiana Pacers in their way. The New York Knicks could return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999—but first, they have to survive one more round against […]

This week, we have a breakdown on why the Boston Celtics are down 0-2 in the second round, a whistleblower on the Draymond Green Agenda™ and some quick Tyrese Haliburton slander, as a treat. The […]
