Miles Bridges Free Agency!

By on

        Miles Bridges had serious legal issues to care of a couple of summers ago, which had him miss the entire 2022-23 season. Last summer, he signed a one-year qualifying offer, worth up to $7.9 million, to return to the Charlotte Hornets. Despite missing an entire season, Bridges still showed improvement in his game and didn't look like he had much rust. He averaged a career-high in points (21) and rebounds (7.3) per game. Now he will enter the free agency market hoping to land a new solid deal. 



        The Hornets are interested in re-signing Bridges but teams like the Detroit Pistons and the Utah Jazz hope to land on securing him. The Phoenix Suns were a team consistently connected to him up until the trade deadline so they could be another team to look out for in the sweepstakes however given their cap situation, their offer will be vastly limited. Bridges is still young, only 26 years old, very athletic, and has shown improvements in his three-point shooting. It will be a busy offseason for him but he has his spot back in the league.

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. While Siakam's wish was to stay with the Raptors, the business of the NBA tends to interfere with wishes. 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. After winning a championship he was named an NBA All-Star in 2020 and again in 2023. Siakam has also made All-NBA twice, All-NBA Second Team in 2020 and then All-NBA Third Team in 2022.

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 ...
