Could this mean a Jimmy Butler contract outside the Chicago Bulls soon?

The emergence of James Harden as one of the most highly sought after in the league this season has made him a legitimate MVP candidate against LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook.

Will a Carmelo Anthony trade make the team more promising?

Among the free agents Pat Riley has his sights set this offseason are Blake Griffin and Rudy Gay.

The landslide defeat of the Indiana Pacers to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA playoffs seems to be the tipping point for leader Paul George.

The Detroit Lions might have a new quarterback next season as a Jay Cutler contract is anticipated to be announced by the NFL team soon.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are still stuck in rebuilding mode especially after the retirement of Kevin Garnett last season. Despite the promising talent of Andrew Wiggins, Kris Dunn and Ricky Rubio, head coach Tom Thibodeau still cannot make this group execute plays perfectly.

The Atlanta Falcons are still reeling over their Super Bowl fail that saw Tom Brady bring his fifth championship to the New England Patriots.

The Oakland Raiders have been facing difficult adjustments with their impending move to Las Vegas soon.
