NBA News & Editorials
Beyond fantasy basketball, I'm also responsible for producing more journalistic work when it comes to major events in the NBA. Trade deadline season is always busy and requires a breakdown of each deal from multiple angles. I also deliver a blend of opinion and analysis when it comes to some of the more topical happenings over the course of the season, whether that's a player changing his game, a team changing its style or trends that prove notable one way or another. From stories as big as the Andrew Wiggins trade or Anthony Davis' deployment down to trade rumors or the mere presence of Patrick Patterson, we cover it all.
