It’s been about a month since the San Antonio Spurs wrapped their 2016-17 season, but Manu Ginobili still hasn’t decided whether he’ll retire from the NBA or return for 2017-18. On the bright side, though, his brother, Sepo Ginobili, did say Manu will keep playing if he feels like he can help a team, per [...]

What in the actual frickity frick are the Cleveland Cavaliers thinking? Parting ways with general manager David Griffin is a risk.

He is a free agent after next season, and everyone expects him to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Any team that acquires him will do so under the guise that he’s a rental unless they can [...]

Kyle Lowry doesn’t want to re-sign with the Toronto Raptors. No, wait. Actually, he does. We think. Okay, we’re not sure. Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star reported that, as of mid-May, people around the league were being informed Lowry had “zero interest” in returning to the Raptors: Still, things can change.

Amar’e spent the 2016-17 season connecting with his Jewish roots (as a Hebrew Israelite, it’s confusing feel free to look it up) and played a role on a championship winning Israeli team, averaging 9.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in 23 minutes per game.
