Week 14 Rumor Mill

[edited by JustinG]

TEAM RUMOR

Even without KAT the Hive stays abuzz, fueled mostly by fan favorite Ja Morant…but also Oscar Tshiebwe and Bronny James!

After losing Brandon Miller for the season, and with Brogdon going to miss the next few weeks, the offensive in Detroit will rest on the shoulders of Ivica Zubac and Ausar Thompson…no 3s in Detroit!

The suns brought in Dillon Brooks and are rumored to be still working the phones. They’ve got a ton of playoff experience in the currently 8-seeded group.

Cleveland is number 1 out East, and happy with their position heading into the break. They are also hoping for Fox to represent them well at the All Star weekend festivities.

After a marauding run into play-in contention over the last few weeks, the Grizz are again struggling without their main man Brogdon.

Warriors keep on winning. Have their sights set on an appearance in the play-ins.

The surprise team out West, Golden State continues to overpower teams with the size and length. Jordan Poole is having his best season yet in an offense almost exclusively tailored to his services.

With major injuries and departures to teams above them in the standings, the Heat hopeful are renewed in their hopeful quest for play-in basketball. CJ Mcollum and Derrick White are doing their best to will them there.

The King continues to prove he's not ready to secede the throne. Can he finally bring Washington to glory in the NSL?

The latest devastating injury news hit like a Hurricane in Orlando...Hurricane Kyrie. With their star guard out for the season, the Magic's playoff hopes appear to be sputtering on fumes.

After a win-now move to bring in Lavine, the Nets have fought valiantly amongst playoff positioned teams. Time is running out, but there could be enough time for them to make an aggressive move into play-in contention, if they act quickly.

The Nuggets are squarely entrenched in a heated race for the last playoff spot in the West. Rumors leaked that they were considering large changes, but after recent play, they may be reconsidering.

After an unfortunate stretch of injuries, the 6ers rattled off a 9-1 record in their last 10 heading into this week. We've seen Philly make some late runs to playoff contention in the past, and this season may be no different.

After a series of future-minded deals, the Knicks appear to be mostly in place for the stretch run of this season. All about the ping pong balls now!

Devastating Embiid news has the Jazz title hopes on the rope. They are still a contender...but they were dominant with the big man in place.

Mavericks building something special with a lot of length, size, and athleticism in Dallas. They lack a lead, go-to scorer, but everything else appears to be in place for a team potentially on the precipice of playoff contention.

Bucks back in their winning ways. A ton of pressure rests on the shoulders of SGA who's leading the teams charge to back-to-back titles. GM Ethan remains confident in his man.

KD is rejuvenated with the late play of Steph Curry. Reports leaked earlier this season that Durant was considering asking for a trade, citing an unhappiness in Steph's lack of stellar play.

The Kings have cooled a bit after their 10+ game win streak but still remain well positioned for a shot at the post season. 3 team race, but only 2 teams will get in. Sacramento need a Herro.

Hawks on the up. The team has had a couple of recent "unexpected" wins go their way. The youth is beginning to blossom in Atlanta.

Bulls return their guy this week! Lamelo ball is back, and ready to contribute to more Chicago wins.

Tough times in San Antonio. 3 game winning streak stopped by the Warriors. Fire sale or playoff push? Could go either way in San Antonio as the deadline approaches.

KCP coming to town! GM JMac will be hard pressed to not infuse him in a surging Portland lineup.
Playoffs?

Some moves coming in Boston, a rarity since GM Toby has taken over leading the team. If rumors are true, Bub Carrington will be coming to Bean Town!

Sad Faces and for sale signs seen around the Indiana front office. After the Wemby news, the team is looking to offload all win-now pieces for a future minded return.
