JaMychal Green and the Memphis Grizzlies do not appear close to finding common ground. The 27-year-old is the best free agent on the market, someone who many expected to secure a fat offer sheet from aggressive rivals. But the market turned on restricted free agents—just ask Nerlens Noel. And now, he remains unsigned, despite training [...]

The triangle offense is forever in New York. What, you didn’t think the Knicks would just stop running it because the system’s biggest advocate, Phil Jackson, is no longer in charge, did you? Because they haven’t. Kristaps Porzingis made that much clear after Tuesday’s practice, per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: This obviously sounds bad, because the Knicks [...]

Reunited and it feels so good, reunited like I knew we would… LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are back together on a basketball court once again, if only for a year. After being bought out by the Bulls, Wade didn’t take long to agree to a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the Cavaliers. LeBron lost [...]

Gary Harris and the Denver Nuggets seem poised to make their commitment to one another official.

In a summer full of blockbuster trades, the one that may affect the NBA championship picture the most is the deal between the Celtics and Cavaliers that was finalized last month and featured Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas as the centerpieces moving from the Cavs to the Celtics and vice versa. The main complication that [...]

Alan Williams is the very rare story of an undrafted player who was able to make his hometown team and establish himself as a valuable player for the organization he grew up rooting for. Williams made an immediate impact and carved out a role last season for the Suns, averaging 7.4 points and 6.2 rebounds [...]

This is fine. Nerlens Noel, who turned down a four-year, $70 million offer from the Dallas Mavericks in restricted free agency only to sign his one-year qualifying offer worth $4.2 million, will not get to spend his contract season as the starting center. That job, according to head coach Rick Carlisle, belongs to Dirk Nowitzki. [...]

The seven year saga that was Carmelo Anthony as a New York Knick is finally over. While there were some ups, and plenty of downs, the last year or two had been full of trade rumors as a frustrated Carmelo and an organization heading in a different direction lead to a strained union between the [...]
