What, you didn’t think we would stop talking about the NBA’s annual general manager survey just because it’s two weeks old, did you? Because we’re not going to. At least not in Miami. Hassan Whiteside was asked if he cared that he didn’t receive a single vote in the “Who is the best center in [...]

The moment that Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors (and sell his soul to the devil, just kidding, maybe…) was the moment that everyone not only wondered just how dangerous and frightening the Warriors would, but also that “Russell Westbrook was about to put up mind-numbing numbers this season.” Westbrook is [...]

The Utah Jazz are still trying to ensure Rudy Gobert never reaches restricted free agency. With the deadline for extensions fast approaching, Gobert and the Jazz remain locked in contract talks, per The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/792793399099293696] Gobert and the Jazz have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Halloween night to hash out an agreement.

Losing Kevin Durant has not saved the Oklahoma City Thunder from a whirlwind of expenses. They have already upped Russell Westbrook’s salary for the right to delay his free agency an extra year, and now, with the league’s deadline for extensions fast approaching, they’re talking turkey with both Steven Adams and Victor Oladipo, according to [...]

Carmelo Anthony is happy with the current makeup of the New York Knicks. So happy, in fact, he has no qualms about sharing the spotlight with teammates Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah et al., per ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: Anthony, who ended up with 20 points on 5-for-15 shooting, six rebounds and five assists, was [...]

The Golden State Warriors have won two of their first three games, but as far as they’re concerned they might as well be winless. Head coach Steve Kerr intimated as much following the team’s 106-100 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, a game that was much closer and left in doubt for far longer [...]

Don’t get comfortable with this version of the Portland Trail Blazers. It might not be around for long. After spending like crazy over the summer, mostly to retain talent like Maurice Harkless, Meyers Leonard, Allen Crabbe and C.J. McCollum (extension), but also to bring in Evan Turner and Festus Ezeli, people around the league are [...]

Dwyane Wade is ready to just enjoy being a member of the Chicago Bulls. That storyline has been lost, often without a trace, in Wade’s decision to leave behind the Miami Heat, the team with whom he spent the first 13 years of his career. But while money and, seemingly, a lack of communication and [...]

Dwyane Wade made his debut playing for his hometown team, making a dream come true Thursday night against the Boston Celtics in the United Center. He proved that he still has something left in the tank as a 34-year-old with quite a few miles on his odometer, leading the Bulls to a 105-99 victory with [...]

Think Andre Iguodala is bitter about LeBron James’ chase-down block on him during Game 7 of the NBA Finals? Think again. Sure, LeBron iced what should have been a wide-open, and perhaps championship-clinching, layup.
