As The Clock Ticks Down Towards The 2017 Nba Trade Deadline,

The Heat was once a dominating force in the league for the past few years. From 2010-2014, led by the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, they build the best trio combination in the league. They've been in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years and won two championships during those times.

While this is a team moving to a new city that recently hired a new head coach, there are several intriguing defensive pieces for Bradley to work with.

But the question is how all of these strong personalities and undeniable talents will play out on the court together. It can either be a success for a franchise that hasn’t had many peaks since the days of Chris Webber, Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, and Mike Bibby, just to name a few. But this current roster holds the most talent that this team has seen in years and they can capitalize on that to finally make some noise in a tough Western

The NBA season is finally back and after a few games under our belts it’s time to start browsing on the waiver wire. Even though the season is young it never hurts to keep tabs on a few key players who could potentially be targeted for you lineup. One player who has quickly gained my attention is Detroit Pistons’ small forward Marcus Morris. There are a plethora of other players who warrant some attention and those are exactly the players we’ll look at right now!

And I heard that the GM’s from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and the Phoenix Suns. Good luck Julius Bell-Adrien and Grayson Allen” Lebron posted.

Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins was previously been in numerous trade rumors the past few months and then it just fades away. And now, Cousins is hitting again the trade buzz and looks like he is heading his way to the Portland Trail Blazers.

They blew the team up in the 2013 offseason and took the first step into a rebuild with a dismal follow-up that saw former fan favorites Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green get dealt for draft picks (and Jae Crowder). The following season, they overachieved and snuck into the playoffs, only to be blown out by Cleveland in 2014-15. After some more shuffling of the roster, they played a competitive series the following year as the fifth seed, where they lost 4-2 to Atlanta, but stole Horford from them in offseason. Now they have reached the conference finals and the only way to go for this team is up.

Hopefully, someone will listen to at least one of these ideas. No one listened the last time I had ideas about the Clippers, and the end result was giving DeAndre Jordan a max contract. (Seriously, how do you sign a guy who is a liability in crunch time because of his free throw shooting to a max contract?)

Once Kevin Durant’s contract ended the entire NBA opened up to him wanting his name on their roster. To start with the option that so many OKC Thunder fans were hoping to see hold Kevin Durant’s career. A long term contract

Alright fantasy basketball fans it’s time to for my latest installment of my GF2 team previews. In my latest NBA preview we’re going to take a closer look at a very intriguing team, the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans made waves last season and are expected to be even better this year. Star power forward Anthony Davis is by far my favorite guy this year for fantasy, so we’ll stray away from discussing his absolute greatness. We’re going to look at three guys who I have rostered over the last few years who all have tremendous upside.

After a complete fail last season the Denver Nuggets come back with 5-wins strait. Who is the the fifth team? The Chicago Bulls! They were expecting it would be EASY because of the Denver Nugget’s epic fail last year, but the past is the past and the Nuggets will not let anything stop them this year. The Denver Nuggets are ruthless for revenge and will not rest until victory has awarded them.

NBA super teams are becoming even more common in today’s league. With more star players coming together to create super teams, there are only a few teams, out of the thirty in the league, that are actually able to compete year after year for championships. Super teams are slowly taking over the NBA. If they are not stopped by the NBA commissioner soon, more players will continue to take pay cuts in order to give themselves the best chance to win a championship. There will soon be five or six super teams in the league and all of the other teams will be irrelevant.

The trade market has started to heat up and we saw last night that the unexpected can happen at the most unexpected times - a midnight deal sending Ducks Carl Hagelin to Pittsburgh for David Perron. A blockbuster involving Ryan Johanssen and Seth Jones was just completed. There are forwards said to be available should Snow choose to walk down that path. Jonathan Drouin, Jordan Eberle, Ryan-Nugent Hopkins and Tyler Ennis are just some of the names being thrown around as we head into the all-star break and February 29 trade deadline.

The frontcourt should receive a boost with Zack Irvin returning from a back injury that cost him his junior season. And Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman is an exciting option at shooting guard, who should see an expanded role in LeVert’s stead. They could make some noise in March, but they need Derrick Walton Jr. to step up in his senior season both as a distributor and more importantly as a consistent scoring threat.

This impending offseason could determine the future of the Islanders. Many big names such as Tavares, Bailey, Neal, E. Kane, etc. are due for new contracts in the 2018 free agency. Specifically to the Isles, Tavares, Bailey, Halak, Chimera, de Haan, Gionta, Kulemin, Hickey, Seidenberg, and Helgeson will test the market this summer. With so many free agents, it is virtually impossible to retain them all, but who should stay and who should go?
