Someone has to go.The Warriors cost too much and won too little to run back the entire roster again in 2023-24.So who's going to be shown the door this summer?I know we're all thinking the same thing.Jordan Poole's playoffs were a disaster.His regular season wasn't much better.This past offseason, the Warriors bet $128 million that Poole would be an elite sixth man, but with that four-year extension poised to start his upcoming season, the deal he signed looks more like hush money following Draymond Green's punch of the guard.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Golden State Warriors held a four-point lead over the Utah Jazz with 13.3 seconds remaining in the game.They had clawed their way back after trailing by 12 in the third quarter and did so without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins.But what happened over those next 13 seconds left the Warriors scratching their heads following a 124-123 loss at Vivint Arena.

The Miami Heat may just make a move after all.However, when you think of NBA trades, trades or acquisitions in any professional sport really, you tend to think of new.You tend to think of creation.One tends to think of something that never was before.But that may not be the case with the Heat if they are to make the particular move in question here.

The Miami Heat may be in the market to make a move come the NBA Trade Deadline.Perhaps, they may even entertain a conversation or two before then.However, recent reports indicate that if there is a move to be made by this Miami Heat franchise, it'll be among the forward or big positions.The Miami Heat have also been linked to several guys that fit that very bill, making all of this that much more intriguing.

The Miami Heat sit a game below .500as the Christmas Holiday comes.Off the back of their most recent defeat to the Indiana Pacers, courtesy of a late-game Tyrese Haliburton three-point bomb to seal it, the Miami Heat might be inclined to be  buyers come the NBA Trade Deadline.With that, there are a number of teams and players out there that should have their interest.

The trade deadline was not without its fireworks and Toronto made sure to get involved with the league's annual fire sale.They reunited with center Jakob Poetl in an effort to bolster the center position yet, they will most likely be without the new acquisition as the deal has yet to be made official and they will have to try to take down Utah tonight.

By the time yesterday's 3:00 pm trade deadline took effect, most Raptors fans had already accepted the reality that would soon be confirmed by an Adrian Wojnarowski tweet: Toronto was not trading any of its core players.For some, this was confounding, even infuriating.For others, the news spawned a sigh of relief.

The Toronto Raptors and the Utah Jazz face a fork in the road post-trade deadline, and today's "Day 1" of their soft reset.The Raptors' front office injected this team with a new lease of life and gave this core a chance to redeem themselves this season at the trade deadline by acquiring Jakob Poeltl and keeping the core intact.

6 minutes and 17 seconds left in the 4th quarter, Scottie Barnes just had his missed layup put back with an emphatic slam by Chris Boucher and the Raptors lead has extended to 13.After some free throws from Kelly Olynyk, Pascal comes down and sinks a mid range jumper to push the lead back to 13, after a layup by Walker Kessler Pascal comes down yet again and cashes a mid range jumper for his 35th point of the night, it feels like it's going to be a strong closing performance from Pascal as he just won't let the Jazz back in.

The Canadian senior men's basketball team has qualified for the 2023 FIBA World Cup after going 11-1 in qualification, the best record in the Americas.Their impressive qualifying run was capped off by an impressive 74-57 win over Venezuela on Sunday, Feb. 26th.As usual with Canada's "winter core," Phil and Thomas Scrubb led the Canadians to the win, and they were presented with prizes from Canada Basketball after becoming the only players to appear in all 12 qualification games.

The Canadians became the first team from the Americas to clinch a spot in the upcoming FIBA World Cup, doing so on home soil with a 38-point win over Venezuela in Edmonton.On September 11, 2015, the Canadian senior men's basketball team met Venezuela in a semifinal game at the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico City.

Back on Dec. 11, 2006, Mike Prada, a Bethesda, Md.native and student at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, launched Bullets Forever, a blog for Washington Wizards fans.It was actually the re-branding of Bullets Fever, a smaller blog he created.That blog and tens of others would eventually become part of SB Nation, a collective of team sports blogs ranging from NBA teams to NHL, NFL, MLB, MLS, college and more.

The Washington Wizards continue their west coast road trip this week.After ten (10) back-to-back-to-back-to... losses, they made themselves such a reputation that the Phoenix Suns put so little effort against them, and the Wizards literally scrambled to a win.Now they head on a short flight to Salt Lake City to rematch with the Utah Jazz that they actually beat last month.

The Toronto Raptors had their fingers in plenty of proverbial pies in the offseason, as Masai Ujiri was constantly trying to figure out which trade target made the most sense.One player who was heavily linked with a potential move to Toronto was Bojan Bogdanovic.Back then, it was believed that Utah Jazz would have been looking for a first-round draft pick, while the Raptors would have to move multiple players to accommodate the Croatian star's $19.4 million salary.

Not even the newfound superstar of the Lakers, Russell Westbrook Off The Bench, could slow down perhaps the most surprising team of the young season in the Utah Jazz on Friday.Westbrook tallied a game-high 28 pointsoff the bench in his most prolific scoring performance as a reserve of his career, but Utah absolutely scorched the nets all night long to win going away, 130-116.
