Grayson Allen's Future?

By on

        Grayson Allen has been known in the past for his "dirty" plays but this season he has made a name for himself with his three-point shooting. Now Allen has always been a reliable three-point shooter but this season he has been shooting the lights out. He is currently shooting at a career high 46.9% from three, which is leading the league. Grayson Allen is a huge piece for the Phoenix Suns as they look to compete for a championship but his future after this season is in question. 



        Allen was a part of the three-team Damian Lillard trade that sent him to Phoenix from Milwaukee. He lands in a great situation as he teams up with superstars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. He has had a great season in Phoenix and could earn himself a huge contract as his current deal expires after this season. The Suns will pay Durant $48M+ until 2026, Beal $50M+ until 2027, Nurkic $18+M until 2026, and Booker's extension kicks in next season with an average salary of $55M+ until 2028. 



        The Suns do not have much financial flexibility so while they technically can pay Allen a huge contract it will send them deep in the luxury tax. Another interesting fact, the Suns do not own any of their first-round picks directly until 2031. The Suns are currently 44-31, the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Most NBA fans thought this team would be at the top of the Western Conference instead of the Play-In Tournament. Despite what seed they finish in, this team is still seen as dangerous in any playoff series match up.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Free Agency!

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

          It is officially the end of an era for the Toronto Raptors. Pascal Siakam has been mentioned in trade rumors for most of the season.

It has been announced that Pascal Siakam has been traded to the Indiana Pacers.            Pascal Siakam was drafted by the Toronto Raptors in 2016 with the twenty-seventh overall pick. He was a huge piece in helping the Raptors win their first ever NBA championship in 2019 against the Golden State Warriors.

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
