• Why Cavs-Bulls Trade Of Isaac Okoro And Lonzo Ball Required A Special Exception

When the Chicago Bulls acquired Isaac Okoro from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Lonzo Ball earlier this month, they couldn’t simply use Ball’s $10 million salary for matching purposes, as noted by Keith Smith of Spotrac. Instead, Chicago had to tap into the $17 million+ trade exception it previously generated in the Zach LaVine […] The post Why Cavs-Bulls Trade Of Isaac Okoro And Lo...2025

• 6 NBA teams stuck in purgatory

Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images These six NBA teams are going nowhere fast. What does it mean to be stuck in NBA purgatory? The easiest definition is a team that isn’t good enough to win a playoff series, but also won’t be bad enough to get a crack at a franchise-changing prospect at the top of the NBA Draft. In fairness, the flattened odds in the draft lottery have consistently failed to rewa...2025

• Kings Like Russell Westbrook But Dealing With Backcourt Logjam

In a recent appearance on Sactown Sports in Sacramento, Sam Amick gave some insight into the Sacramento Kings thinking with their backcourt.

• NBA free agency predictions for 12 best available players on 2025 market

Let’s predict where the best remaining NBA free agents will land. NBA free agency in the summer of 2025 felt like it was over as soon as it started. The first 48 hours of free agency brought a rash of signings and a few big trades, but things quieted down quickly with almost zero available cap space around the league. Once the Brooklyn Nets used their cap space to take on bad contracts for future ...2025
