As the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline approaches, the Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams to watch in the market for Jonathan Kuminga, according to sources told DallasHoopsJournal.com. Kuminga officially became trade eligible on Jan. 15, accelerating conversations that had been building quietly for weeks. Even as the Golden...

There are very few truly “untouchable” players in the NBA. In practice, most stars can be discussed if the return is strong enough and the timing aligns. Right now, there appears to be one clear exception. The San Antonio Spurs would not trade Victor Wembanyama for anyone. Around him, however,...

The Milwaukee Bucks have reached an uneasy point in their season. Tuesday’s 139–106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves marked Milwaukee’s 18th defeat in its past 27 games, a stretch that has steadily eroded both momentum and patience. By halftime, with the Bucks trailing 76–45, the frustration inside Fiserv Forum spilled...

The NBA season has a way of forcing clarity. The Dallas Mavericks entered 2025–26 believing they could remain competitive despite sweeping roster changes.

The two-time NBA All-Star has appeared in just 18 games this season, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists while shooting 40.1% from the field and 20.8% from three. His year has been repeatedly disrupted by injuries,...
