The organization says no player is untouchable, but they have shown little interest in moving Ingram, according to Yahoo Sports.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is one of the hottest names in the trade market right now. One of the teams currently linked to the 38-year-old are the New York Knicks. At first glance, Paul could be a good fit for the Knicks. He's an all-around veteran player that should be able to make a […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine could be suiting up for a new team as early as next season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is expected to opt-out of the final year of his deal and test free agency this summer. The 33-year-old will be one of the bigger names available in free agency, but that doesn't mean Harden will have a lot of suitors. In fact, it sounds like the 76ers and Houston […]

Suns Could Pursue Fred Vanvleet

The Phoenix Suns are expected to move on from point guard Chris Paul this offseason. If that happens, free-agent point guard Fred VanVleet could be a potential option for them. Vanvleet recently declined his $22.8 million player option with the Toronto Raptors. That means, Vanvleet will be a free agent and should have plenty of […]

Peyton Watson Could See Expanded Role

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson had a fairly quiet rookie campaign this past season. The Nuggets selected Watson out of UCLA as the 30th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft.
