The 2017 NBA off-season is in full swing and after Gordon Hayward’s free agency signing with the Boston Celtics, one would assume all of the biggest free agents or trade targets have found their new homes or decided to stay put. The migration of even more talent to the western conference this off-season is stupefying [...]

Dejounte Murray is taking his role as the San Antonio Spurs’ point guard of the future very seriously. The 20-year-old floor general showed flashes of promise during his rookie campaign, hitting 39.1 percent of his threes, shooting a so-so-but-not-terrible 55.9 percent at the rim and delivering nifty passes on the move. His mid-range game is [...]

It appears Paul Millsap will be headed to the Denver Nuggets as part of a three-way sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks. It also appears this is the extent of his contract negotiations with the Hawks, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution‘s Chris Vivlamore: [tweet https://twitter.com/CVivlamoreAJC/status/881902153291485184] In some ways, this is a good sign. It [...]

Go ahead and pencil in Frank Ntilikina, the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s draft, as a bust. Relax, I’m kidding. But someone on the New York Knicks better talk to him, or stop talking to him, or something. The rookie guard is already talking about how he’d welcome having free agent Derrick Rose [...]

After adding Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Jeff Teague, the Minnesota Timberwolves are bound to call it a summer. Or maybe not. According to Eurohoops.net’s Niko Varlas, the TimberBulls have eyes for Milos Teodosic, who is widely considered the best playmaker not in the NBA: However, Teodosic will not play in Europe next season and [...]

Danilo Gallinari was always a risk to leave the Denver Nuggets. Now, he’s good as gone. The Nuggets came to terms on a three-year, $90 million deal with Paul Millsap on Sunday night, as first reported by The Vertical’s, Shams Charania, adding to their already full supply of combo forwards. To clear the space necessary for this [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers had one job. They still have it, technically, but for how much longer, nobody knows. Their objective: Don’t do anything to ruffle LeBron James’ feathers. Simple, right? Apparently not. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert showed general manager David Griffin, someone James held in high regard, the door shortly after the NBA Finals ended. [...]

“Don’t let the fact that 11 other Western Conference teams can talk themselves into chasing a playoff berth next season distract you from the other fact that we can too” should be the Denver Nuggets’ motto in 2017-18. The Nuggets stole the show on Sunday night, for the most part, by signing Paul Millsap to [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks don’t care about your Derrick Rose jokes. They’re going to court him in free agency anyway. Even, apparently, if it means clearing cap space to do it. Per ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: [tweet https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/881862450819338240] [tweet https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/881863218494402560] Feel free to insert some snarky comment about Rose here. It’ll probably be accurate. He doesn’t make [...]

Leading into free agency, Andre Iguodala’s return to the Golden State Warriors didn’t feel like the surest thing. It was likely, perhaps inevitable, but there was this growing feeling that some team could come along and offer more than Golden State was willing to pay. Iguodala even admits he didn’t explore the open market just [...]
