NBA Power Rankings: Lackluster Trade Deadline Still Creates Surprising Movement
Share this: The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the fireworks never really went off. Sure, there was the blockbuster DeMarcus Cousins trade, but that was days ago. Those looking for some action Thursday likely left work disappointed, especially considering the Boston Celtics decided not to make a deal and kept their assets. So how does the NBA landscape look now after the deadline? Let’s take a look at our power rankings. 1. Golden State Warriors (47-9) — The Warriors didn’t make any moves, which is understandable considering they already have the best roster and record in the NBA. 2.

NBA Rumors: 76ers’ Jahlil Okafor ‘Will Be Moved’ Before Trade Deadline
The likelihood of Jahlil Okafor remaining with the Philadelphia 76ers beyond Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline appears slim. “He will get moved, I can tell you that,” NBA.com reporter David Aldridge said Tuesday on NBATV. “They’re not going to go into next season with him on the roster and they’re not going to finish out this season with him on the roster.” Okafor, a solid offensive center, is averaging 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season. He’s not an above average rim protector, but the former third overall draft pick has made strides defensively since his rookie season. The 76ers have dra... NESN.com
Here Are Five Last-Minute NBA Trade Deadline Moves That Should Be Made
Share this: The NBA trade deadline represents the last chance for contending teams to make significant moves that will help them get to the playoffs and perhaps take the next step.

NBA Rumors: Timberwolves Interested In Acquiring Knicks’ Derrick Rose
Share this: It’s been a season to forget for the New York Knicks. The team has underperformed on the court, and the front office has grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Knicks appear to be willing to part with most of their players, as Carmelo Anthony has been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time. However, a new Knicks’ player found himself in the rumor mill on Monday: Point guard Derrick Rose. The Minnesota Timberwolves have reportedly reached out to the Knicks inquiring about Rose’s services, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley. This trade would make sense on multiple fronts. The Timberwolves are in need of guard depth after Zach LaVine’s torn ACL ended his season. Also, it would be a reunion
Kings’ TV Play-By-Play Man Goes On Twitter Rant After DeMarcus Cousins Trade
Share this: The Sacramento Kings traded a top 15 player in the NBA in DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. In return, they got rookie shooting guard Buddy Hield, a couple of picks and two players that won’t be part of their long-term plan, Tyreke Evans and Langston Galloway. By any stretch of the imagination, this was a poor trade. But Kings play-by-play announcer Grant Napear put a different spin on the trade in a Twitter outburst against the talented center. Trading DMC was an absolute no brainer! There has been a dark cloud over this franchise for years! That cloud is now gone! — Grant Napear (@GrantNapearshow) February 20, 2017 The Kings were never going to win with Cousins. NEVER! This
