UCLA's Donovan Dent could be rounding into form just in time for Gonzaga showdown

Sometimes even Donovan Dent needs to be told he's Donovan Dent. "I just keep reminding him of who he is," Skyy Clark said of his message to his UCLA teammate who has been pushing through a tough opening stretch as a Bruin. The most highly coveted point guard in the transfer portal, Dent arrived on campus with the pedigree of an All-American honorable mention who was expected to immediately elevate his new team. Among his many talents were strong three-point shooting and an ability to blow by defenders to the rim.

Why some NBA teams might avoid a Giannis or AD trade: 'Cost of a mistake is too high'

In June 2023, the Suns acquired Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards, a deal that came on the heels of Phoenix landing Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets before that year's trade deadline. After the moves, new owner Mat Ishbia hailed the creation of the NBA's next superteam. Those trades rattled the NBA landscape. The league is in a far different place two years later.

Ja Morant rumor proves Heat are willing to risk it all again after Jimmy fiasco

Ja Morant will be traded - let's get that out of the way. If it's not during this season, it will be in the offseason. There's too much blood flowing in Memphis. It started flowing a season ago, and it will continue to flow until the wound is stitched. Why are the Miami Heat a hot topic as it relates to Morant? Because the Heat - a team worthy of having a superstar repping South Beach at all times - need to replace Jimmy Butler.

CJ McCollum named as the Wizards' most likely trade candidate but it's not that simple

In a recent article from Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes, CJ McCollum was listed as the Wizards' most likely trade candidate. \"It's not easy to pick out destinations for a defensively challenged combo guard, even one that has scored as reliably as McCollum has throughout his career,"Hughes said. "But if he keeps up his current levels of production, efficiency and health, he might be moveable to a contender that sends back longer-term money with a draft asset attached."
