Anyone who takes a studied look into the New York Knicks’ offseason activities should tell you all you need to know about the squad: they are all in on their championship chase with their current core. It’s not hard to see why they are zeroed in on winning a championship in the coming season. The team may have paid quite a ransom to get Mikal Bridges from their Brooklyn neighbors, but fans are mightily excited about his acquisition. Moreover, the team is also actively looking for ways to improve their roster. The fact that they’re being linked to a serviceable…

There’s no question that Isaiah Thomas is beloved among the Boston Celtics fandom. While the team failed to win anything significant during his time as the franchise’s #1 option, the dedication to the craft and passion he showed during his time in Celtic green won over even the most hardened Boston sports fan. While his time with the C’s didn’t result in any championships, he was a vital cog in how the current roster has turned out to be. Without his guidance during the middle to late 2010s, it’s easy to see the Celtics having a tougher time transitioning to…

The Los Angeles Lakers may not have all of the pieces they want to start the 2024-25 season, but they’re already working hard to win and hoist the 18th banner to hang at Crypto.com Arena. The roster still lacks a solid man who can take over the starting center job, but they reportedly have plans to set in motion so they can land their starter for the coming season. Aside from that, their offseason has been disappointing for long-time Lakers fans. While there are plenty of things to be worried about with the Purple and Gold’s roster construction, the biggest…

Many would say that the Dallas Mavericks are where they are now because of Mark Cuban. To say that the Shark Tank star has been a huge part of the team’s successes over the past two decades is an understatement. However, his interests go far beyond what’s happening on the hardwood. Aside from his Shark Tank stint, he’s also known to speak his mind when it comes to politics. He’s not particularly shy about lashing out at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Cuban has been loud with his criticisms since the former president declared his intentions to return to the White House. Not…

Kobe Bryant would most likely be the first name to come out of many Los Angeles Lakers fans’ mouths if you ask them about who the most influential player in the team’s rich history has been. For such a man to get such reverence from the fans despite the pantheon of great players who have donned the Purple and Gold over the years is a testament to how great of a superstar and athlete Kobe was. Players candidly talk about the Hall of Famer’s time in Hollywood, while items he interacted with during his playing career are fetching big numbers…

If you ask any Los Angeles Lakers fan what the biggest hole in their roster is, a lot of them would most likely say center with their chest before you even finish your question. Anthony Davis is doing a mighty job as a center/power forward hybrid, but even the biggest Lakers supporter will tell you he’s far from the best option at the five spot. They need a solid big man so AD can do the most damage as the squad’s power forward. Their need for a center has become so painfully obvious that memes about it have sprung up…

Long-time hoops fans will remember Dwight Howard as a juggernaut of a center during the 2000s era of NBA basketball. He was nearly unstoppable during the peak of his powers, and he was the core of an exciting 2009 Orlando Magic team that put up a great fight against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2009 NBA Finals. After failing to win a ring with the Magic, he went on a journey across multiple teams in search of a championship. However, it would take him late into his career before he finally wins one with the LeBron James-led Lakers in…

The NBA season hasn’t even started, but Los Angeles Lakers fans are already curious with how their team will fare in the coming season. They didn’t have the best offseason if you consider their aspirations. They also have a brilliant albeit unproven head coach sitting on one of the most volatile hot seats in the entire league. While LeBron James is still one of the best players in the NBA today, no one can exactly predict how long he will be playing for Purple and Gold. While plenty of questions surround the Lakers, one of the most fascinating storylines would…

The Denver Nuggets know they need help if they’re going to return to the NBA Finals. This knowledge pushed them to make a move for Russell Westbrook to reinforce the squad. The interest was mutual as the two-time MVP also made moves to make the acquisition possible. However, not everyone is thrilled with the move, with one analyst even saying getting a guard who cannot shoot and relied heavily on his athleticism might be a bad move for the squad. However, the contract is signed, and Brodie is going to spend a good chunk of the season at the Mile…

Anfernee Simons is a talented young basketball player stuck in a tough situation with the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers finished near the bottom of the Western Conference despite Simons’ best efforts to lead the team. With no clear direction, it made sense for the Blazers front office to decide to blow up the team and go younger with their core players. The decision that the 25-year-old Simons would be too old for the rebuild and needed to be shipped off. While there have been speculations on where he could end up, the Blazers haven’t done a move to expedite…
