Ryan Poles made his mark on NFL news headlines when the Chicago Bears brought him on as their new general manager in January of 2022. Before agreeing to take the high-profile role, however, Poles cut his teeth in the league with the Kansas City Chiefs. From starting off as a scouting assistant in 2009, he worked his way up the ladder to become the executive director for player personnel more than a decade later. As such, it comes as no surprise that Poles is taking whatever knowledge he gained in Kansas City to his role as the top decision-maker in…

The Cleveland Cavaliers made quite a splash in NBA free agency. After NBA rumors linked them to a handful of potential additions, the Cavs were able to bring in a trio of fresh faces ahead of the new season — and it didn’t come for cheap either. Equally important to their new recruits, if not even more integral, is the fact that they were able to hold on to Caris LeVert despite reported interest from opposing teams. The 28-year-old agreed to a two-year extension with Cleveland for $32 million, which obviously, is no small amount. However, given what Caris brings…

It’s the offseason so at this point, it’s no surprise that all sorts of NBA rumors have been going around. One of them involves Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and his potential departure from his team for the last decade. According to reports, opposing sides are monitoring Antetokounmpo’s situation in Milwaukee this summer as he becomes eligible for an extension — one that the former back-to-back MVP might not be too eager to sign.

Aaron Rodgers New York Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers dominated NFL news for quite some time after he decided to finally leave the Green Bay Packers. Technically speaking, it was Green Bay that traded the four-time NFL MVP to the New York Jets, but we all know that ultimately, it was Rodgers’ call to leave the same team that drafted him way back in 2005. Green Bay president Mark Murphy certainly remembers that moment well. So much so, that the 67-year-old decided to throw a veiled shot at his former cornerstone quarterback and his new team. Aaron Rodgers Catches ‘Hard Knocks’ Stray From Mark Murphy As always,…

According to NBA rumors, James Harden is on the brink of a move away from the Philadelphia 76ers. Multiple reports indicate that the only reason the ex-NBA MVP picked up his player option for 2023-24 is for him to facilitate his Philly exit. However, it’s not James Harden who’s the center of ESPN insider Brian Windhorst’s latest truth bomb. According to the renowned NBA guru, there is one particular player on the 76ers roster that the organization considers “untouchable” — and it’s not even Joel Embiid. Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James Catch Strays In Brian Windhorst’s Latest Trade Update To be…

Michael Jordan is in some sort of weirdly extended love triangle with former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen. MJ’s son, Marcus, is currently dating Scottie’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen. Marcus and Larsa have been together for quite a while now and it seems that they’re pretty serious. At this point, it’s probably safe to say that it’s not your ordinary short-term fling. Michael Jordan Does Not Approve Of Son Dating Larsa Pippen MJ has not spoken publicly about his son’s relationship. However, given that it does involve his 32-year-old son dating his former teammate’s 48-year-old ex-wife, it comes as no surprise…

The Milwaukee Bucks took a bit of time before they were able to secure the services of Brook Lopez. This certainly took longer than their deal for Khris Middleton, which hit NBA news almost immediately after free agency opened. Be that as it may, Milwaukee still got the job done, signing the starting center to a $58 million extension for the next two years. Milwaukee kept it going on Monday as they added none other than Brook’s twin brother, Robin Lopez to a new deal. Robin returns to his former stomping ground on a single-season deal worth $2.9 million. It’s…

Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks salary cap, NBA News

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant players in the NBA today. As a matter of fact, more than a few Milwaukee Bucks fans would be willing to go out on a limb to say that the former back-to-back MVP is currently the top player in the game. Unfortunately for Milwaukee, this did not seem like the case last season — especially in the playoffs. To be fair, Antetokouonmpo did suffer an injury early in their first-round series against the Miami Heat, but at the end of the day, the fact of the matter is that Giannis and Co.…

The Chicago Bulls made NBA news headlines on Monday after they added another player via free agency. This comes in the form of Torrey Craig, who agreed to join Chicago on a two-year deal worth $5.4 million. The interest of Milwaukee Bucks fans, in particular, will be piqued by this signing considering this is the second former Buck (the other one being Jevon Carter) that has signed with one of their Central Division rivals. Bulls Secure Torrey Craig Amid Rumored Interest From Other Teams It has been quite a journey for Torrey Craig. He played the first three years of…

The Milwaukee Bucks still have a handful of roster spots to fill up ahead of the new season. They added a couple players to their squad on Monday with this objective in mind. Robin Lopez, the brother of Brook Lopez, who incidentally, also recently signed an extension with the team, rejoins the Bucks for his second stint. Shortly after the Robin Lopez news broke, it was also revealed that Malik Beasley is also headed to Milwaukee on a single-season deal.
