For those who thought Parker was going to the Hornets a washed old man, he's proven to be the NBA's Benjamin Button, looking younger and more self-reliant than he has in years.

The Miami Heat have put the ball in Justise Winslow's hands and it's paid dividends, but things could go next level if his outside shot continues to improve.

Is the Oklahoma City force of nature evolving, or declining?

It's a gamble that will either explode in New York's face or alter the entire league's trajectory.

Also: Justise Winslow's three-point shot changes everything, answering Trade Deadline questions, investigating an interesting Russell Westbrook stat, an absolutely wild stat about Tony Parker, and much more!

The Pelicans have to trade their franchise player. The Celtics want him, and have the best assets, but a CBA rule means they can't offer it until the summer.

Golden State's Sixth Man isn't playing as often as he used to, but he never gets shortchanged when he's out there.

The knock on Minnesota's star is that he's a defensive liability, but there's reason to believe he's shedding that reputation.

They rarely play together, but Portland is must-watch when Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, and Seth Curry are on the floor.

I do not care how many games LeBron James has missed. Sue me.

Sixers ownership would need to agree to absorb nearly $23 million next year for someone who perfectly complements their big three, but hurts their depth and might present some defensive issues in the playoffs.

We might not see professional defense played this poorly ever again.
