When James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets last month, the Nets sent the league a clear message. They were going all-in for a championship, whatever the cost. The cost was quite large. Three regular contributors, three first-round picks and four pick swaps. Many likened the trade to the infamous Kevin Garnett/Paul Pierce trade,

When Lebron James left Miami, Heat president Pat Riley had a plan. James’ departure may have caught him by surprise, but he didn’t show it. Instead of floundering for years, like the Cavaliers did when James departed Cleveland for the first time — and it appears to be happening a second time — the Heat

With the NBA regular season now over halfway complete and the trade deadline passed, the league’s hierarchy of teams has been largely established, and the list of teams poised to make a run at the Larry O’Brien Trophy has dwindled. It is worth noting the teams below have not necessarily had the best seasons thus

Some say it began with the Boston Celtics in 2008. Others say with the Miami Heat in 2012. You could even make an argument for the San Antonio Spurs in 2007, or the Chicago Bulls in 1996 if you want to get frisky. In any case, the “Big Three” era of the NBA seems to

Being a senior, I get a lot of question about what the future will look like. No joke — as I started writing this someone asked me what I’ll be doing after graduation. It’s a lot and honestly I’m not the biggest fan of discussing it. At the same time, there is much emphasis on

Over the past week, three major stories have broken relating to NBA stars and what teams they’ll be playing for in the coming years — Anthony Davis’ trade request, Kristaps Porzingis’ trade to the Dallas Mavericks and Kyrie Irving’s statements that seemed to distance him from a potential future with the Boston Celtics. In today’s

On Tuesday league sources first notified The Athletic that Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler met with head coach Tom Thibodeau in Los Angeles and requested a trade before his final contract season with the T-Wolves. Well alright then. The news comes less than a week before training camp, so obviously it’s less than ideal for

It hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have a record of 3-8 since their Christmas Day defeat to the Golden State Warriors and have fallen to third in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors. Last Saturday, the Cavaliers were defeated 148-124 at home

“My condolences to anyone who has ever lost me / And, to anyone who got lost in me / Or, to anyone who ever felt they took a loss with me / … I’m sorry you missed the God in me.” The solo voice of poet Reyna Biddy commands the opening track on Kehlani’s debut

The NBA playoffs are drawing near, and the two teams that are dominating headlines are the ones that are predictable and consistent. The San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors are the teams that get all the attention because they have put together two of the best regular-season performances in the history of the sport. So,
