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

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.

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.

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?)

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!

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

According to CBSSports, the Los Angeles Lakers could throw in a package of guard Jordan Clarkson, guard Lou Williams and forward Luol Deng as trade offers to the New York Knicks for Carmelo Anthony. This is not bad for a return for the Knicks acquiring one young and two veteran players that are solid contributors.

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

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.

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.

What is the next step? Some say it is to make a charge and beat LeBron James now and form your own "super-team" by cashing in on your assets. Others say to do a minor tear down to prepare for LeBron's eventual downfall. What is certain though, is that the Celtics are poised to meet this Cavaliers team repeatedly in the coming years, armed with the potential to get infinitely better, along with a genius young coach and confident general

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
