One benefit of being around the cap floor in the NBA is you have the flexibility and rare ability to re-negotiate a player’s salary for the current season.

George Hill would be a member of the New York Knicks right now if they didn’t can Phil Jackson before the start of free agency. Probably.

Kristaps Porzingis will be extension-eligible this July, at which time, if he’s healthy and they’re smart, the New York Knicks will try to lock him up for the next four or five years.

The NBA’s extension deadline came and went on Monday without players like Rodney Hood, Marcus Smart, Aaron Gordon, Elfrid Payton and Jabari Parker, among others, receiving new deals.

By the time Klay Thompson signs his next contract, he may be ready to follow Kevin Durant’s lead. Durant, last season’s NBA Finals MVP, accepted almost $10 million less than he was eligible to earn in 2017-18 so that the Golden State Warriors wouldn’t blink at bringing back their entire core. And it seems Thompson, [...]

The Lakers have an abundance of young talent littered around their roster with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ivica Zubac and more.
