[tweet https://twitter.com/hoopshype/status/758031482426429440] Stoudemire announced his retirement Tuesday and to the surprise of some, signed a one-day contract to retire [...]

Klay Thompson has still yet to show any concern over his role with the Golden State Warriors in the Kevin Durant era. Some might believe there’s an inevitability behind this stance. The Warriors signed Durant. They actually added a top-three player to a 73-win nucleus. There is no reason for Thompson to complain. But Thompson’s [...]

Tyronn Lue has 62 games, playoffs and regular season, of NBA head coaching experience. The Cleveland Cavaliers apparently think that’s enough to warrant a five-year extension.

Paul Millsap is going to be so pissed. During a conversation with Basketball Insiders’ Alex Kennedy, Kent Bazemore indicated that the Atlanta Hawks will be Dwight Howard’s team.

Chris Bosh’s future with the Miami Heat remains unclear. His future in the NBA might even be in jeopardy. The Heat still haven’t cleared Bosh for a return after he suffered his second blood clot issue within a year midway through the 2015-16 campaign. As of now, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says there [...]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are giving one another the silent treatment. We know the two talked before Durant decided to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. They just haven’t talked since, according to ESPN.com’s Royce Young: Westbrook is taking time not just to figure out his next steps, but also [...]

Jeremy Lin has bounced around the NBA his entire career. You would have thought his storybook run with the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 campaign would have bought him protracted stability somewhere. It hasn’t. He has since played for the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets and, now, Brooklyn Nets, with whom he [...]
