As noted in the first iteration of this poll, aesthetics mean a lot to Brooklyn Nets fans. The team has moved and rebranded each time — from Long Island to New Jersey to Brooklyn. They turned from the elites of the ABA to laughingstock of the NBA, but don’t get it mistaken: the Nets and Dr. J (Julius Erving) are …

Dennis Schröder is staying in the Eastern Conference — but he’s no longer a Cavalier.

This week, we finally touched on the elephant in the room re. Giannis: the notion that Bucks GM Jon Horst waited too long to trade him. This week’s polling results were fascinating because, to me, they showed how being a team fan and having a deeper connection to its players can change how people view the choices the team makes, …

Chemistry with this iteration of the Lakers will be an uphill challenge. Many of them have never played together and will need to learn one another quickly to succeed on the court.

We’ve reached the point of the offseason where there is minimal movement on the free agency and trade market — outside of Cleveland trading Dennis Schroder to clear a little cap space to make another move later — but there is some. Here is some of the latest chatter. It’s been reported for months that the Dallas Mavericks have been …

Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner have some big decisions to make.  They’re now the proud owners of one of the most heralded teams in sports, the 17-time champion Los Angeles Lakers, whom they bought from Mark Walter for $12.5 billion on Wednesday morning.  Advertisement It’s unclear what their plan is yet, but here’s some advice for the new leaders of …

It’s NBA 2K ranking conversation time once again. Nothing gets the juices flowing quite like debating where Devin Booker ranks in a video game, does it? Last week, we talked about how NBA 2K completely missed the mark when it came to Booker’s midrange shooting, which is arguably his most elite trait as a player. The game gave him an …

DeMar DeRozan, the Raptors’ all-time leader in games played, minutes, played, and points scored, will not be making his way back to Toronto, after all.

I am an unabashed Doc Rivers fan. It’s hard not to be. He is, by all accounts, a coach in the truest sense of the word. He rallied the 2008 NBA champion Boston Celtics around the idea of “ubuntu,” a word of Southern African origin, which translates to, “I am what I am because of what we are.” If you …

Cleveland has been flirting with a sign-and-trade for either Jonathan Kuminga or Peyton Watson, but they needed more cap space to bring one of them (or anyone else of note) in, as well as re-sign James Harden.

Earlier in the week I was somewhat aghast when clicking through the win totals over at our partner FanDuel. The Dallas Mavericks have an over/under of 32.5! What in the WORLD. Dallas won 26 games last season and didn’t have Kyrie Irving or any other actual NBA level guards. So this week’s poll question was easy: Do you think the …
