The NBA's new CBA is forcing front offices to reconsider their team-building strategies, but it's premature to declare Big Threes as a relic of the past.
NBA, Ryan Dunn and Phoenix Suns
Things are looking up for the Phoenix Suns on the basketball court these days. The same can’t be said for Jusuf Nurkic.
The 2025 NBA trade deadline is on the horizon. The Philadelphia 76ers will presumably be buyers, though they are not among the most eager teams to make a big splash. The Sixers prefer not to tank the remainder of this season, but their losing record will surely influence their approach before the deadline on Thursday, February 6.
Between now and the Feb. 6 NBA Trade Deadline, Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat seem all but guaranteed to part ways.
Lakers rookie guard Bronny James struggled against the 76ers on Tuesday, but remained optimistic about his play.
New York holds firm possession of the conference’s No. 3 seed with a 27-15 record, with their 125-119 overtime victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night giving the group a renewed sense of focus after dropping five of their previous seven contests.
Tim Bontemps unveils his 24 picks for the East and West All-Star rosters, filled with new starters, wild-card intrigue and some agonizing decisions.
De'Aaron Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long-term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.
The Sacramento Kings are listening to offers for De'Aaron Fox before the NBA trade deadline. Expect more twists and turns.
While Fox would work as a fit for a Heat roster lacking a significant contribution at point guard since the declining play and then trade a year ago of Kyle Lowry, that math at the moment appears beyond the Heat’s means, unless Butler is part of such an equation.
We are almost one week away from the Feb. 6 trade deadline, and one ESPN insider predicts Heat star Jimmy Butler will finally be moved.
