Well, Prokhorov gave away a whole bunch of future assets to be decent for a few years, Derrick Favors was shipped to Utah before his rookie season ended, and now the Nets are going nowhere for the foreseeable fut
The team in the absolute best position is the Boston Celtics, which seems a bit crazy considering they're the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference heading into the playoffs. The Brooklyn Nets were crazy enough to trade their own unprotected first-round pick to Boston years
"He's a big part to what they do," Butler explained . "We all know that. I think they know that. But you can't take him out the game and think that you can win. Because they got a lot of other really good players, role players that make shots, create for others. They guard, they rebound, pass the ball. They got a really good team; they're really good at what they
With all of the ridiculous numbers being put up by players like Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Isaiah Thomas and the entire Golden State Warriors these days, it's easy to lose sight of the most ridiculous stat going in the lea
Developing younger players like the newcomer Payne, along with some rookies and second-year players, has cut into the playing time of veterans like Wade and Rondo. And you can make the clear argument that the focus on giving the youngsters playing time has resulted in on-court struggles and los
If the Cavaliers don't reach the NBA Finals, it won't be because they didn't lock up the top seed. How did King James' teams do once they reached the championship series, though? Let's take a look at the five times LeBron led his team as the No. 2 s
The Matrix was pretty much hooked up to a dial-up modem by the time he made his way to Cleveland. He saw minutes early in the season but never really got used by head coach David Blatt, even when his team was gasping for air on offence with 7 bodies in the Fin
As usual, it didn't matter a great deal to the Heat. They swept the Charlotte Hornets in the first round, handily sent the Brooklyn Nets packing (4-1) and dispatched of what looked like an up-and-coming Pacers team (again) with a 4-2 series vict
His time with the Heat provided flashes, but his body would betray him a lot during his only campaign with the team. The big man is now a student manager for the Ohio State basketball team while he tries to go on to earn his deg

The Phoenix Suns have the second best odds, riding a massive losing streak for most of the final portion of the season. They'll have a 19.9 percent chance at landing No. 1, 38.7 percent chance of sticking in the top-two, and 55.8 percent chance of their selection being top-th
The Cavaliers will go to work against Paul George, Lance Stephenson and the Indiana Pacers in the first round, where James has been absolutely dominant his entire career. Not going in as the top-seeded club may seem ominous, but that's never stopped LeBron from succeeding bef
Listed at 6’7", Butler is a full 10 inches taller than Thomas, but has the physical gifts that it takes to stick with him for a long period of the game. Despite the major height difference, Butler respects Thomas’ versatile g
Jackson was a huge name coming out of Oregon before being drafted at 10 overall by the Cavs in their first draft after getting LeBron. Needless to say the partnership that they envisioned never panned
"I look forward to that matchup," Butler said after Friday's practice . "Especially what he's done this year for that team. I know that it's going to come at some point in time. I don't know when -- but I'm going to make it tough for him. For anybody that I'm guarding. Not just me, it's going to be a team effort. I'm going to get beat at times, I'm going to need guys to be there. If not, then we'll do it over and over again 'til somebody is there if I'm beat. But I look forward to that challenge. I want th

James has made the finals a ridiculous six straight times with two different teams, losing in the finals to Dallas with the Miami Heat and then beating Oklahoma City. The Heat then topped and then were topped by San Antonio in consecutive years before he moved on to Cleveland for a two-year split with the Warri
