Well, Prokhorov gave away a whole bunch of future assets to be decent for a few years, Derrick Favors was shipped to Utah before his rookie season ended, and now the Nets are going nowhere for the foreseeable fut

Noel is in the final year of his rookie deal with Philadelphia and is set to become a coveted free agent in the offseason. While he would be a short-term rental for the Celtics, who probably wouldn’t pay him close to the near-max deal that he will probably be looking for, his rebounding acumen and defensive abilities would be worth

Since the Mavericks are in a bit of a rebuilding mode and would probably like to receive some sort of compensation for Bogut, who’s in an expiring deal, they’d probably be willing to take on Johnson’s expiring contract (which is almost identical to Bogut’s) in order to land a future first-round p

Therefore, it has been much easier for the California product to play without any real pressure and contribute to a winning team. In various stages this year he has shown his amazing athleticism and dunking ability and he will only get better in the years to come. The C's have an exciting prospect on their ha

In 2k12, the only players who had better ratings were LeBron James of Miami (98), Dwyane Wade of Miami (96), Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers (94), Dwight Howard of Orlando (93) and Chris Paul of New Orleans (93). Rose's 92 was equaled by Kevin Durant of Oklahoma C

Given what he’s been able to do over the last month, it’s not farfetched to assume that Jokic could put up something like 25 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists per game within the next few seas

Amir Johnson, James Young and a couple second round picks would probably make this deal happen. The Pistons might be enamored with the idea that trading Baynes would result in some freed up cap space in the offsea

Injuries have been the main cause for the derailment of such a promising career, one which looked like it could deliver his hometown Chicago Bulls its first nba Events|https://Nbaactioninsight.com/ championship since the Michael Jordan d

Anthony Davis. Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kristaps Porzingis. Joel Embiid. Karl-Anthony Towns.These are just some of the few names that some to mind when thinking of the NBA’s top young player.However, in recent weeks, someone else has provided a glimpse of his sky-high potential and he’s not one of the players listed above.The player: Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets.And his potential trumps every one of the players above. On the season, the Serbian sensation has posted 16.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game over 26.6 minutes per contest, but it’s what he’s done recently that’s raised some eyebrows.The 21-year-old, 6’10" big man has been phenomenal over the last seven games, averaging 22.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 30.9 minutes per contest.On Friday, he had his major coming out party at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks. In that game, he scored 40 points on 17-of-23 shooting to go along with nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes.A day later against the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, he scored 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting along with 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.For someone who lost his starting job early in the season as Nuggets head coach Mike Malone opted to place him lower on the depth chart, his ascension has been riveting.In that game, he posted 27 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists with relative ease. In fact, Jokic played over 25 minutes just three times in the first 11 games of the season and averaged just 23.1 minutes in the month of November as a whole.As someone who was selected with the 41st pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Jokic has taken an unheralded path to greatness, unlike the other top young players in the league.Here’s how he has stacked up against some of the other top young big men this sea
