Every week, the Hoops Rumors writing team creates original content to complement our news feed. Here are our original segments and features from the past seven days:

  • We updated our lists of the NBA’s longest-tenured head coaches and longest-tenured heads of basketball operations. The same name – Gregg Popovich – tops both lists.
  • Half of the NBA’s teams face hard caps during the 2019/20 league year. We broke down the full list of teams and explained how each club imposed that hard cap on itself.
