Keep track of every NBA trade right here

The NBA trade deadline never lacks when it comes to the drama and intrigue surrounding it. There are always big names churning through the rumor mill — some truly in danger of being moved, others just being thrown out as smokescreens.

We’re mostly seeing the latter so far this year for the trade deadline.

There are lots of names being discussed so far as we inch closer and closer to the end here, but there doesn’t seem to be much action surrounding any of them.

With that being said, though, some teams have already made moves to improve their team on the fringes. Some teams have also already made some pretty splashy moves — they just took action a while ago.

NBA Power Rankings: The Warriors are in trouble and the Thunder should terrify the rest of the NBA

The Golden State Warriors look like they’re in some real trouble here.

The NBA’s standings feel like a bizarro world right now.

You’ve got the LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors at the bottom of the Western Conference jockeying for play-in position. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder look like two of the best teams in the league.

Along with that, the Denver Nuggets have dipped quite a bit in recent days and the Bucks are just starting to catch their stride. Meanwhile, the Celtics just keep winning games at the top of the East.

Our latest edition of NBA Power Rankings is here. It’s still early, but a ton of what we’re seeing now feels very real.

Especially the Thunder.

NBA Preseason Power Rankings: The Nuggets still reign supreme over the rest of the league

The Celtics and Bucks might have a little something to say about that, though.

We’re finally back, folks. The NBA season is nearly here once again. And that means it’s time to get some power rankings cooking again before all the action tips off.

There are so many teams who could win it all this season. Obviously, in the East, we’ve got the Bucks and the Celtics who made arguably the biggest moves of the offseason with their acquisitions at point guard. On the other side, we’ve got the Heat who completely botched everything.

The Western Conference looks absolutely stacked with talent from top to bottom behind the Nuggets. In particular, the Pacific division looks like it might be one of the strongest we’ve ever seen in league history.

Let’s sort through it all in our very first NBA power ranking of the season.

Winning Time fans are furious at the finale and shocking cancelation of the HBO series

This just stinks.

Some of the best moments in sports have been born out of witnessing history. So, it’s not shocking that HBO chronicled the 1980s “Showtime” era Los Angeles Lakers, who won five championships, turning their prolific run into Winning Time.

Based on a book by Jeff Pearlman, the series debuted in 2021 and was renewed for a second season a month after its debut. The star-studded cast included names like Jason Segel, Adrien Brody, Sally Field, John C. Reilly, and newcomers Solomon Hughes and Quincy Isaiah.

Dedicated fans were in on the wild storylines, but the series battled lower-than-expected viewership numbers. Like many other shows, it has also been impacted by ongoing writers’ strikes.

Last month, Pearlman expressed his concerns over the canceled show, telling fans it needed more support.

Unfortunately, the series was canceled after two seasons, leaving fans with a less-than-pleasant ending to Sunday’s finale: a Boston Celtics championship. Ending a storyline on a bitter rival’s success did not sit well with fans.

Understandably, they are furious and saddened.

There’s no word yet if another network will pick the show up, but fans are already clamoring for another network to salvage the storyline.

If I know anything about good old-fashioned hate for your rivals, it can get a lot done.

NBA Twitter reacts to Miami upsetting Boston in Game 7: ‘Don’t let us win Game 8’

Miami has made the NBA Finals in a dramatic fashion after losing the previous three games to the Celtics.

As expected, NBA Twitter reacted to the latest wild end in the series.

NBA Twitter reacted to yet another wild Heat-Celtics game.

How internet leaks ruined Jayson Tatum’s first signature sneaker with Jordan Brand

Jayson Tatum’s signature shoe deserved better

There’s a youth movement at Jordan Brand when it comes to the signature athletes on their roster. Jayson Tatum is absolutely the most accomplished out of all of them.

So, naturally, you’d think that Jordan Brand would like to have done a pretty significant rollout of Tatum’s signature sneaker considering that. He’s been one of the best players on one of the best teams in the NBA for, at least, the last three seasons. Tatum is the Jordan Brand headliner at this point.

Unfortunately, Jordan Brand didn’t really get a chance to execute their full plan with Tatum because, well, the internet internetted. Leaked images of Tatum’s signature shoe that released before the shoe ever came out completely changed the perception of the sneaker.

We talk about all that and more on this episode of Special Delivery. Tap in.

Everyone is roasting Micah Parsons for being a bandwagon NBA fan after wearing multiple jerseys

Nah, Micah Parsons. Find a new team.

Cowboys fans, y’all better keep an eye on Micah Parsons. The man is bandwagoning and it’s not a good look.

Related: One glaring flaw for all 32 NFL teams that could sink their Super Bowl hopes.

The Cowboys’ edge rusher was caught wearing a Celtics’ jersey for Boston’s Game 1 against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. Ordinarily, that would be fine. There’s nothing wrong with Parsons being a Celtics fan.

Except for…is he really a Celtics fan? The answer definitely seems to be no.

In fact, we just saw the man wearing a 76ers jersey last week when Boston was playing against Philadelphia in the East semifinals. And, on top of that, he’s rocking the jersey with a weird button-up underneath which only adds to his traitorous vibe right now.

This man is truly the new Drake when it comes to switching sides.

This is absolutely incriminating, to be sure. But what makes it worse is that the man had to actually ask for the jersey. From Jayson Tatum himself.

And it isn’t just these two teams. The man has been a Mavericks fan and a Warriors fan all within the last few years. He says he’ll pick a team going into next year and stick with it, but how can we trust him?

The answer is we cannot. Do not trust Micah Parsons. Instead, roast him. Like everyone else on the internet is doing.
