How does Kevin Durant feel about taking a pay cut? That’s apparently an important question for the Los Angeles Clippers, who, according to Dan Woike of the Orange Country Register, will try to sell Durant on joining Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul in Hollywood: The Clippers are scheduled to meet with free-agency’s top [...]

Re-signing Mike Conley isn’t enough for the Memphis Grizzlies. They apparently want to steal Chandler Parsons away from the Dallas Mavericks, too. Per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/748497638060761088] In this new, wild and wacky salary-cap climate, Parsons will command max money. His knee problems could drive his value down a bit, but he should at [...]

In order to keep some semblance of normalcy, a salary cap in the NBA exists. If not, it’d be tough to have a league when every player feels he’s worth every penny on Earth. But in the case of LeBron James, there should be no financial ceiling. It’s impossible to put a figure on what [...]

The New York Knicks have eyes for Atlanta Hawks free-agent Kent Bazemore. This is a good thing. Unless you actually expect them to pay him. In which case it’s a bad thing. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Bazemore is high on the Knicks’ list for a shooting guard, but they know resources aren’t [...]

Tim Duncan is coming back for another NBA season! We think. Maybe. The 40-year-old opted into the final year of his contract with the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, but he apparently hasn’t made a decision about whether he’ll play next season, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan has [...]

This offseason is supposed to be Kevin Durant or bust for the Golden State Warriors. Either they poach him from the Oklahoma City Thunder, or they run it back with their current core by re-signing restricted free agents Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli, while retaining the expiring contracts of Andrew Bogut, Shaun Livingston and Andre [...]

Will Dwyane Wade be playing with any team other than the Miami Heat next season? No. He just likes to pretend that’s a possibility. From ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst: Dwyane Wade’s initial contract discussions with the Miami Heat have not produced a common ground between the parties, and he is preparing to field outside offers when [...]

Los Angeles Lakers vice president and part-owner Jim Buss apparently believed his team would land Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, in addition to re-signing Dwight Howard. He also probably though Jesus Christ himself would take a pay cut to play in Hollywood. Only one of these things isn’t true, according to Bleacher Report’s [...]

Dwight Howard has already set up two meetings to start the NBA’s 2016 free-agency period, and the Houston Rockets aren’t one of them. According to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard and Marc Stein, Howard will talk shop with the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics first, before moving on to other teams: The Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics [...]

Harrison Barnes wants to continue playing for the Golden State Warriors. This seems like a no-brainer in many ways. Yes, the Warriors just imploded against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. But they still won 73 games and are perfectly positioned for a redemption march in 2016-17. Why would Barnes, a restricted free agent, [...]
