The Phoenix Suns have positioned themselves well heading into this upcoming season. With an underdog mentality last year, they proved the doubters wrong and exceeded every preseason expectation. This led them to the playoffs, and even if it was a sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was a refreshing year compared to some previous ones. By making this leap, though, it gave the fans something to root for and be excited for heading into this offseason. That is when we saw most of ...

Is the NBA overreacting to the second apron? Wes Goldberg argues that the loudest criticism of the league's new Collective Bargaining Agreement is missing the bigger picture. He breaks down why recent salary dumps by the Thunder, Celtics and Knicks don't prove the system is broken, explains what the players actually gained in the latest CBA, and makes the case that the one change everyone avoids discussing-reducing the number of regular-season games-is the real solution to many of the NBA's b...

Oklahoma City Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti described the team trading Lu Dort to the Chicago Bulls as a "financial decision." "This was a financial decision. The impression I have been given is that the savings generated this summer, and from being out of the tax the last several years, will be re-allocated to future teams," said Presti on Monday. The Thunder acquired three second-round picks in exchange for Dort. Presti also mentioned Ajay Mitchell and Caso...

Yeah, we’re a little late but there’s a lot to ponder. The end of the Brooklyn Nets two summer leagues, coinciding with the start of free agency, seems like a good time to assess things. The Nets could make a move yet and LeBron James hasn’t made his decision.

On Sunday, the Mavs, Thunder and Hawks did a three-way swap that sent A...

Moussa Cisse has agreed to a two-year offer sheet with the New York Knicks in restricted free agency. The Dallas Mavericks now have 48 hours to match the offer.

Cisse, who turns 24 in September, went undrafted out of Memphis last summer before signing a two-way contract with Dallas ahead of the season. The Mavericks extended him a qualifying offer earlier this offseason, making him a ...
