“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 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 [...]
