Milwaukee is not going to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo until he demands it.

Could Lauri Markkanen be on the move? The Lakers' Gabe Vincent?

Edey is averaging 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds a game for Memphis while being a defensive anchor in the paint.

The Warriors played hardball last summer to push Kuminga into a more tradable contract; his availability is not a surprise.

While the spotlight over the last 48 hours has been on Antetokounmpo, other trade talk is ramping up as well.

The Clippers knew what they were getting when they signed Chris Paul, a guy who holds everyone accountable.

Having "internal discussions" is nearly meaningless, NBA teams often have internal discussions about moves they would never make.

Antetokounmpo returned from missing four games with a groin strain, but the result was the same.

There are three simple win-and-you're-in games on the night.

James has only been back on the court for two games this season, but already the talk is if there will be a 24th season for him.

Entering the final week of group play, there are some critical games, including Clippers at Lakers Tuesday night on NBC and Peacock.

In a game where Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid were out, Tyrese Maxey provided the star power.

Players are running more than ever in game, being asked to make more explosive moves, and that has consequences.

This is the first major move by new owner Mark Walters.

Davis is out at least another week with a strained calf. He's going to have to return and play for a couple of months to spark offers.

It's Denver and OKC in the West, but in the East are the Pistons on the level of the Knicks and Cavaliers? They are so far.

Maybe the one thing to come out of this soon is the NBA tightening its requirements on injury reporting.

The bigger question is which teams are willing to give up something of quality to Sacramento to land Sabonis?

She also discussed coach Willie Green's job status, saying that is in the hands of head of basketball operations Joe Dumars.

Teams may also someday have interest in Kyrie Irving, but until he and Davis are back on the court nothing happens.
