Rockets finding right role for Amen Thompson

Everyone loves a linear narrative. OK, fine – not everyone. If you’re some kind of wacky postmodernist, you prefer a strange metanarrative. You love yourself some Twin Peaks. Good for you. The rest of us love a linear narrative. We also love a linear NBA career. When a player becomes the player they were projected […]

Bulls “Have Had Ongoing Talks with Pelicans” About Zion Williamson, Yves Missi (REPORT)

The Chicago Bulls might be… becoming self-aware? Obviously, please don’t hold your breath, but it appears team president Arturas Karnisovas , six seasons into his tenure at the franchise’s helm, appreciates midseason that his team is going nowhere. He might actually, really, be open to pivoting from his doomed roster for the second straight season — and a pair of New Orleans Pelicans frontcourt stalwarts, two-time All-Star power forward Zion Williamson and second-year center Yves Missi , could...

Blackhawks Looming Roster Decisions, Trade Freeze/Deadline Intrigue

The Blackhawks are finally starting to get healthy. Frank Nazar and André Burakovsky will be back in the lineup on Thursday night in Carolina, putting two top-six pieces back in the lineup up front. That should help an offense that’s been struggling to get a third goal on the board. Burakovsky was back skating on a line with Connor Bedard and Ryan Greene , while Nazar was back on a line with Tyler Bertuzzi . After the Blackhawks practice on Wednesday, Nazar talked again about playing with...

A Wisconsin legend endorses Jim Leonhard for Packers DC

In case anyone hasn’t heard, the Green Bay Packers have an opening at defensive coordinator after Jeff Hafley was hired to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins earlier this week. The team has already lined up interviews with several candidates, including Eagles passing game coordinator Christian Parker, Vikings passing game coordinator Daronte Jones, […]

Deni Avdija’s Road to the NBA Was Rocky (and Remains So)

Portland Trail Blazers All-Star-in-waiting Deni Avdija is riding high through the 2025-26 NBA season. 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game will bring plenty of notice and praise. But the journey from Point A to Point ASG wasn’t easy for the 6’8 do-everything player. Avdija came up through the international ranks in his […]

Around The NBA: Jimmy Butler Trade? Kuminga’s Return, Buss Family Drama, Injuries Galore, More

The NBA is just about two weeks away from its 2025-26 season trade deadline. With the Eastern Conference fast becoming a hot mess, things could be incredibly active. But the biggest question mark lies in the league’s other conference. The Golden State Warriors now have a Jimmy Butler problem. Could Mike Dunleavy Jr. Trade Jimmy Butler? Golden State’s 2025-26 season with its current roster took a huge hit Monday when Jimmy Butler tore his ACL against the Miami Heat. Giv...

The Ringer Shows Love for Trail Blazers Rookie

Yang Hansen made headlines the moment the Portland Trail Blazers selected him in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. The world waited to see if the prodigy from China would make a splash in the American league. So far, he hasn’t. The 7’1 center has appeared in 25 games, averaging just 8.4 minutes […]

Blackhawks Bits: Nazar’s return appearing imminent

The Blackhawks were back to practice on Wednesday and looked as close to full health as they have in a few months. Part of that was Andre Burakovsky’s return from an illness that sidelined him on Monday night against Winnipeg, but the biggest step in that direction was Frank Nazar’s full participation in practice, suggesting he’ll play for the first time in a month when the Hawks visit the Hurricanes on Thursday night. Frank Nazar said he feels ready to go after being out since Dec. ...

Chicago Bulls Trade Buzz: Who’s Available? Potential Targets, More

I can count on my fingers and toes how many days are left until the NBA trade deadline. But I’d need everyone’s fingers if I tried to count how many trade rumors the Chicago Bulls are tied to. With seven expiring contracts on the books, the Bulls should be the belle of the ball when it comes to trade negotiations. Yet with nothing materializing so far, Chicago risks striking out on extracting real value from its assets — a headline the franchise seems oddly comfortable wearing. Still...

In Praise of Toumani Camara

When perusing Portland Trail Blazers highlights and news briefs, two names are bound to come up more than any other: high-flying guard Shaedon Sharpe and Mr. Everything, Deni Avdija. Next to them toils a less-heralded forward, known well in Portland circles but absent from national discussion: Toumani Camara. In his third year, Camara is averaging […]

EPL GW23 FPL Differentials

Differentials often play a decisive role in Fantasy Premier League, and getting those low-owned calls right in Gameweek 23 can make a significant impact on your rank. With margins tightening, identifying the right players outside the template becomes increasingly important. Several low-owned options arrive in this gameweek in encouraging form or with clear opportunities, and […]

The Celtics should (basically) not make a trade this year

Oh boy, welcome back to our annual Socratic seminar about “should the Celtics make a trade this year?” A tradition unlike any other, it’s one of the most important questions for each Celtics season — answering it can reflect the state of the team, the direction and goals for the coming playoff run or tanking extravaganza. […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba wins Offensive Player of the Year award

The Seattle Seahawks fielded a surprisingly potent offense during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record for points scored on the season. Much of the credit for the offense being as prolific as it was goes to third year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards as […]

Frank Nazar, André Burakovsky Back for the Blackhawks

The Blackhawks will have forward Frank Nazar back in the lineup on Thursday night in Carolina. Nazar, who turned 22 on Jan. 14, has been out since getting hit in the jaw by a puck on Dec. 20. He has six goals and 15 assists in 33 games before the injury. The Blackhawks had Nazar skating between Tyler Bertuzzi and Ryan Donato at practice on Wednesday in Chicago. He was also working with the second power play unit. André Burakovsky will also return to the Blackhawks’ lineup on Thu...

Bucks Trade Candidate: Andrew Wiggins

We are inching closer and closer to the NBA trade deadline, now just over two weeks away from February 5. The Bucks haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet, but with all the rumors swirling, it’s definitely possible we see some action before then. In the meantime, we here at Brew Hoop have been presenting […]

Raptors head to Sacramento for second night of back-to-back

The Toronto Raptors are fresh off one of their best performances of the season, a 145-127 win against the Golden State Warriors – despite being down four rotation players – in which Immanuel Quickley dropped a career-high 40 points and 10 assists. Now, they’ll be shorthanded and on short rest as they take on the Sacramento […]

The problem the Spurs need to fix soon

It burns a little, this one. Yeah. To blow that lead. Against this opponent, in their building. It burns. No two ways about it. I’d love to breeze through this and move on to the next, but goodness. We’re probably going to have to sit with it for a minute. Because that was about as […]
