When the Jazz made the blockbuster trade for Jaren Jackson Jr. last February, a vision was put into place. A vision of a healthy Walker Kessler pairing up with JJJ to create the most daunting defensive rim presence in the NBA. Everyone was on board. Jackson Jr., Lauri Markkanen, Will Hardy, Danny Ainge, Austin Ainge, the Jazz fanbase. Everybody bought in but Kessler, who apparently wanted to do everything in his power to not play in a purple mountain jersey ever again. According to Marc Stein...

The NBA offseason is officially history. With the Knicks set to host media day on Monday, there will surely be plenty of questions as New York starts its title defense.

Duren has declined the Pistons' offer of 5 years, $200 million.

The Hawks added a valuable ingredient to their roster.

Stephen A. Smith revealed his complete NBA top 10, ranking Michael Jordan first and LeBron James directly behind him.

The Jazz have the talent to make some serious noise and their newest duo could shock the league.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers made numerous moves this offseason, areas of concern remain for general manager Rob Pelinka and the front office. One spot, in particular, is the backup center position, as Kevon Looney remains the sole true center behind Walker Kessler. If Kessler ends up missing time due to injury, it puts pressure […]

Olden Polynice felt LeBron James was one of the greatest physical specimens he had ever seen.

This Grizz team has incredible, balance of distinct roles, but I think needs 1 less guard and 1 more wing. I think this team, moderately healthy, can go 39-43 this season. submitted by /u/Junke1 [link] [comments]

Editor’s Note: I am thrilled to introduce someone that many of you already know, eshold! Erik is one of our long-time commenters who will be dropping in from time-to-time to grace us with his thoughts. You can find him on social media here @eshold as well!

Unlike some first-round picks, however, Graves does not need to become an immediate star. If he can defend, hit open threes, rebound and make smart decisions, Toronto will have plenty to work with. What Did He Do Last Year? After redshirting his first year at Santa Clara...
