It’s commonly believed that superteams were launched roughly a decade ago, but one particular legend thinks the idea came to fruition well before that. Gary Payton played for the Lakers from 2003-04, clearly joining Los Angeles in search of a championship ring. He didn’t get one there, but the Lakers had won three consecutive titles […]

The tension between Ben Simmons and the Sixers is really heating up, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the team will be able to trade him in the coming months. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, especially in this situation. Sure, Simmons clearly wants out of Philadelphia, but the Sixers aren’t going to just let the former No.

The Trail Blazers have had one of the best backcourt duos in the NBA for years, but they’ve never been able to make a run to the Finals, which has sparked talk of the team blowing up the roster. And while the team has been quiet about the rumors, as well as Damian Lillard —

The Lakers are set to field the oldest roster in the NBA next season — by a large margin — but the team’s owner doesn’t seem to take issue with it. In fact, she seems to be completely on board with their recent moves. Jeanie Buss is well aware that the team traded away the

Gregg Popovich isn’t one to talk about his emotions all that often, but is very candid during press conferences, and has no problem sharing his opinion.

LeBron James wasn’t able to lure Chris Paul to the Lakers, but he settled for a different member of the “Banana Boat Crew.” Carmelo Anthony signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles on Tuesday, becoming one of many 30+ year old players on the team’s roster. It sure looks like the Lakers are valuing experience

The Celtics’ decision to move Kemba Walker puts them in the market for a point guard, and lucky for them, there are a few suitable candidates available. Russell Westbrook is off the board, being the first point guard to switch teams this summer, having been traded to the Lakers. But there are still some other

The Bradley Beal trade rumors have been swirling for years, and it sure doesn’t look like they’re going away anytime soon. Washington brought in Russell Westbrook to play alongside Beal last offseason, in an attempt to lighten the load on their star guard, but it just wasn’t enough. Westbrook is inconsistent, and aside from those

Kevin Durant knows all about dynasties, as he played for the Warriors during their pinnacle not too long ago, and he believes the team that knocked his Nets out of the postseason is in the midst of forming one. Durant and the Nets took the Bucks to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, and

The defending champion Lakers couldn’t even advance to the second round of the playoffs this season, so it’s expected that they’ll make at least one major splash during the offseason. Los Angeles fields one of the best frontcourts in the league, but there are a few clear roster holes, specifically at point guard. The Lakers
