Steve Kerr is out indefinitely while tending to his recurring back problems. Though this doesn’t technically mean he’s done for the season, the Golden State Warriors are moving forward as such. From CSN Bay Area’s Monte Poole: “The way we look at it is, plan on him not coming back,” Draymond Green said after practice [...]

Marcus Smart didn’t have a terrible outing in the Boston Celtics’ Game 1 victory over the Washington Wizards. He shot 2-of-5 from the floor, which is on par for him, while dishing out four assists, forcing three steals, racking up three blocks (seriously) and playing generally suffocating defense. All told, he was a plus-12 for [...]

Andre Roberson is going to be one of this summer’s most fascinating restricted free agents. Unlike Otto Porter and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, he doesn’t have a defined max-contract value. He’s more Tim Hardaway and Tony Snell, only more so, because he’s elite in one area (defense). Will that be enough to land him near-max offer sheets [...]

Blake Griffin is officially on the mend. The All-Star power forward underwent surgery for a right big toe injury that prematurely ended his season. There is still no timetable for his full recovery, per the Los Angeles Times‘ Broderick Turner: Clippers forward Blake Griffin had successful surgery Monday in Charlotte, N.C., to address an injury to the [...]

Joe Ingles just earned himself a max contract. According to ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes, the Golden State Warriors preferred to play the Los Angeles Clippers over the Utah Jazz in the second round, not because they felt Lob City was the easier opponent (they are), but because Hollywood’s night life is much better than that of [...]

He wanted to [...]

In something of an unexpected turn, Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird relinquished his post on Friday. The news came shortly after his team was swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, and at a time when the Pacers have to figure out what in the actual heck they’re going to do with Paul [...]

Paul Millsap won’t leave the Atlanta Hawks hanging. He has a player option for next season and, as expected, will decline it to enter free agency. The 32-year-old made that much clear, for the most part, during his end-of-season presser, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution‘s Chris Vivlamore: It took some doing, but Paul Millsap finally said what everyone [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ Game 7 loss to the Utah Jazz on Sunday didn’t just end their season. It marked the end of Paul Pierce’s career. After 19 seasons, the surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer is calling it quits. He leaves behind a complicated legacy, one that includes a championship, unsuccessful ring-chasing thereafter and a [...]

If Nate McMillan’s plans and inklings are correct, Indiana Pacers fans have nothing to worry about: Paul George will be back next season. As the head coach said, per Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star: McMillan didn’t share much of what George told him and Bird during their meeting. Yet McMillan, at several points Thursday, said [...]
