Despite a 12-70 season for the New Jersey Nets, there was reason to believe good things were on the way. Prokhorov wanted stars to help facilitate a move to Brooklyn that was still two years away, and despite the lottery balls not falling in their favor to land John Wall, the Nets still had the third pick in the dr
“All-Star forward Jimmy Butler has averaged 28.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists in the 10 games, while shooting 53.9 percent overall and 56.5 percent on 3-pointers. His numbers before Wade got hurt: 23.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 5.1 apg, while shooting 43.9 percent and 33.5 perce
The big man’s left knee injury is worse than the Sixers initially thought and they have decided to rule him out for the year in the hope of having him fit and ready for the start of the 2017/18 campa
Baynes currently plays limited minutes behind Andre Drummond, but is a gritty, hard-nosed defender and rebounder. Marjanovic is a behemoth who likely wouldn’t make a huge difference, but could be utilized by Brad Stevens in certain situati
Amir Johnson, James Young and a couple second round picks would probably make this deal happen. The Pistons might be enamored with the idea that trading Baynes would result in some freed up cap space in the offsea
Noel is in the final year of his rookie deal with Philadelphia and is set to become a coveted free agent in the offseason. While he would be a short-term rental for the Celtics, who probably wouldn’t pay him close to the near-max deal that he will probably be looking for, his rebounding acumen and defensive abilities would be worth
In 2k12, the only players who had better ratings were LeBron James of Miami (98), Dwyane Wade of Miami (96), Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers (94), Dwight Howard of Orlando (93) and Chris Paul of New Orleans (93). Rose’s 92 was equaled by Kevin Durant of Oklahoma C
Saric has shown a great improvement recently, which culminated in him being named the Rookie of the Month for February. He finished the month with 17 points, 7.9 rebounds and 44.3 percent from the field in 30.9 minu
Since the Mavericks are in a bit of a rebuilding mode and would probably like to receive some sort of compensation for Bogut, who’s in an expiring deal, they’d probably be willing to take on Johnson’s expiring contract (which is almost identical to Bogut’s) in order to land a future first-round p
Well, Prokhorov gave away a whole bunch of future assets to be decent for a few years, Derrick Favors was shipped to Utah before his rookie season ended, and now the Nets are going nowhere for the foreseeable fut
The Spurs were back with payback in their minds after losing to the Heat in a seven-game series the previous postseason. San Antonio jumped all over the Heat, thrashing them in a 4-1 series that was never really close. The Spurs won by double-digits in each of their four victor
If the Cavaliers don’t reach the NBA Finals, it won’t be because they didn’t lock up the top seed. How did King James’ teams do once they reached the championship series, though? Let’s take a look at the five times LeBron led his team as the No. 2 s
The Cavaliers will go to work against Paul George, Lance Stephenson and the Indiana Pacers in the first round, where James has been absolutely dominant his entire career. Not going in as the top-seeded club may seem ominous, but that’s never stopped LeBron from succeeding bef
“Enigmatic forward Nikola Mirotic averaged 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 22.9 minutes while shooting 39 percent with Wade around. Historically the Bulls’ one-man version of March Madness is contributing 16.4 points and 6.3 rebounds in 29.6 minutes while hitting 50.8 percent overa
While he previously controlled the ball in a primary ball-handler’s role prior to the injury, the spacing and ball movement that the team has exhibited in his absence will likely carry over after Wade retu
While he has been afflicted with a number of injuries throughout his career, the impact that he can have on a team is obvious. Remember those Warriors nba walkthrough|https://nbaactioninsight.com/ Finals teams the last couple of seasons? He was manning the mid
Of course, Embiid has technically been in the league for two and a half years despite being injured and has had the benefit of being in an NBA environment and working with the Sixers’ coaching staff, but that shouldn’t take away from his impressive numbers in just his first year on the co
Injuries have been the main cause for the derailment of such a promising career, one which looked like it could deliver his hometown Chicago Bulls its first NBA championship since the Michael Jordan d
Major television networks such as ESPN have even altered their live broadcast schedule to fit in some Sixers games due to the impact Embiid has had on the team, something which would never have happened last sea
After the Cameroonian, there’s a huge drop-off to the player second in scoring; teammate Dario Saric at 11.3 points per game. If the rookie class was stronger and there was serious competition, there could be an argument for Embiid not winning the aw
