Al Horford, it seems, had a lot on his mind during his foray into 2016 free agency over the summer.

But that seems like it’s about to change. According to the Houston [...]

Sometimes, in sports, questions with obvious answers need to be asked. That’s the nature of the business—especially when it comes to free agency. Which brings us to Stephen Curry, who will be a free agent at season’s end, and who was recently asked by the Charlotte Observer‘s Scott Fowler whether he would consider signing with [...]

If you asked Dwyane Wade to rank his three most likely free-agency destinations from this past summer, would the Miami Heat be in the top three? It’s a fair question, because, well, Wade left the Heat for the Chicago Bulls. But he also flirted with the Denver Nuggets, whom he indicated, per Christopher Dempsey of [...]

At least two did, according to The Vertical’s Shams [...]
