How Eliminating Conferences for the NBA Playoffs Makes No Sense. Top Story - September 2017.
This NBA offseason has been a wild ride. It’s been so wild that we’ve completely forgotten just how top-heavy and boring the NBA proved it was after this postseason. That’s what happens when fireworks have been going off on a daily basis like the 4th of July was a month long. Now that the dust has mostly settled and we’re turning off Woj and Shams notifications to avoid being updated about players like Ekpe Udoh finding teams, we know one thing:

NBA All Go-To-War Team. Top Story - September 2017.
If you’re like me, you enjoy when fights break out in the middle of NBA games. If you were an NBA general manager, and you had to put together a team of NBA players that you would want on your side during a fight, these would be the guys.

Stars are going back and forth, rumors are coming in by the minute, and the battle between Woj and Shams Charania over who’s going to break news first is like a battle in Game of Thrones on steroids. We’re seeing teams either stock up on nukes in the shape of disgruntled superstars in order to join the ongoing arms race, or unload pieces to the highest bidder, or any bidder as long as they can just sulk in the shadows of the NBA until the Warriors are done waging war on everyone foolish enough to pick up a basketball.

Ridiculous, but Possible NBA Trades
People have been talking about trading DeMarcus Cousins for a couple of years now. He’s only signed through the 2017–2018 season, and will proceed to finally be a free agent. Unless, Sacramento decides to trade him, which I see to be highly unlikely because Boogie will either throw a fit about going to the wrong team, or the Kings can’t find the right deal for them.
