*Photo via NJcom The New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls “Megadeal” involving homegrown Bulls point guard Derrick Rose being traded to the Knicks, has caused NBA experts to scratch their head in wonderment as it seems the Knicks yet again traded for a guy 4 years too late. As a Knicks fan, I was pleased with the trade at first, but I’ve gone back and forth a million times since my initial reaction. Initially, the idea of getting a former MVP and a player who can actually get to

Denver Nuggets – Who Replaces Ty Lawson? *Photo via Nuggets.com Yes, the Nuggets drafted Emmanuel Mudiay but you're probably high if you think Mudiay can match Ty Lawson’s production. I know you are thinking, “but Nick, Mudiay is a Rookie of the Year candidate…” The thing is Mudiay could have a Rookie of the Year type season and still not produce like Ty Lawson. To give you an idea of what Lawson meant to the Nuggets, he accounted for 37.9 points per game last season and led

Atlanta Hawks – The Defense Rests. *Photo via AP Atlanta Hawks forward, Thabo Sefolosha has had an eventful summer. On April 8th, Thabo suffered a broken leg via NYPD after failing to flee the scene outside of 1 Oak nightclub in NYC where Indiana Pacers forward, Chris Copeland was stabbed in a separate incident. The injury kept Thabo off the court, while the Hawks fought their way through the Eastern Conference to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Boston Celtics – Last Season Wasn’t Luck. *Photo via Getty Images The Boston Celtics didn’t add any huge free agents this offseason, which has led them to be overlooked as a playoff team in the newly improved Eastern Conference. But the Celtics have a talented 5’9” point guard coming off the bench: the soon-to-be 2015-16 Sixth Man of the Year, Isaiah Thomas. The C’s will go as far as Thomas can take them. This team will be defined by his success as a leader on and off the cou

*Photo via NYpost After Zach Lowe hinted at the New York Knicks front office possibly moving towards exploring trades for their superstar Carmelo Anthony, the Internet exploded with hype. The reality is, there’s no imminent deal out there, at the moment. Regardless, after reading Lowe’s statement, I was curious about possible deals involving ‘Melo. So, I took some time on ESPN Trade Machine and devised some potential deals involving the Knicks eight-time All Star. Note: These

The internet has a way of turning everyday moments into legend, and there is no exception during the NBA season. Meme’s have become a pop culture phenomenon and some of the most liked, retweeted and shared posts on the internet. Now I know the NBA does a great job holding press conferences and handing out big trophies for deserving players. Even the NBPA wanted to get fancy and hand out their “Players Awards” on BET (guess they weren’t that fancy). With everyone seemingly giv

*Photo via Getty Images The Utah Jazz finished off their 2014-15 campaign with a 38-44 record, very respectable for a team full of youngsters and a first year coach trying to prove himself. They headed into the all-star break with a 19-34 record and were struggling, as expected, to win games. After the break, the Jazz flipped a switch and went 19-10 to finish the season. What the hell happened? Maybe the Jazz hit the hyperbolic time chamber (DBZ reference). Just kidding, in r

*Photo via EPA There was a time when Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks were the ultimate for basketball players. There was something about playing basketball at the highest level on the game’s biggest stage that gave players a certain rush. The Garden was Broadway for basketball stars, now it emits the smell of trash and garbage that much of the Big Apple emanates. What happened? How did the monument of basketball tumble into rubble? I’m here to cite what caused t

As a person intrigued by fashion, the uniforms worn by each team is something that I look forward to every year. From the throwbacks that resurrect a feeling of nostalgia with older fans, to the alternates that spice up the team’s typical uniforms, and finally the jerseys for Chinese New Year, Latin Nights, Christmas Day and so-on serve to celebrate a particular holiday or event. There were some solid uni’s on display this past year, but some very bad ones as well. The Washi

*Photo via AP On April 15th, the New York Knicks closed the lid on a franchise worst season with a loss to the Detroit Pistons. When the Knicks announced the hiring of Phil Jackson as the President of Basketball Operations nearly 18 months ago, the fan base rejoiced and celebrated the possibility of becoming a championship contender once again. Sadly, those hopes were vanquished for many fans after a dreadful season in which the team garnered a massive 65 losses. Now, skeptic

*Photo via USA Today DeAndre Jordan’s spurning of the Dallas Mavericks should be shown on Broadway. This Hollywood drama had more twists and turns than an episode of the Bachelor. From Jordan’s emotional frustration boiling over with Los Angeles Clippers’ superstar Chris Paul, to the Clippers attempting to convince Jordan to come back to LA, then the emoji battle between Mavericks’ forward Chandler Parsons and multiple Clippers’ players, and finally with the supposed forced h

*Photo via USA Today There has been plenty of big news in the NBA since the beginning of the free agency period. With LaMarcus Aldridge solidifying that he’s going to the San Antonio Spurs, there aren’t any big name players left on the market. However, there are a couple potential stars still available as well as a number of glue guys who can fill roles on certain teams. I’m fully aware that LeBron James, Marc Gasol and Tristan Thompson are all available, but they are not inc

*Photo via NY Post New York Knicks (17-65)- (5th Atlantic Division, 15th Eastern Conference) Season Summary: Through the eyes of many, the Knicks’ season is summarized in one word: disappointment. In my opinion, the season is summarized in a different word: opportunity.By essentially tanking and throwing in the towel, the Knicks grabbed a potential superstar in the NBA Draft in Kristaps Porzingis. Further, Knicks’ President Phil Jackson traded away guys he didn’t see a part o
