Free Agency

Kevin Durant has every intention of returning to the Golden State Warriors next season. And why wouldn’t he? He’s about to win his second title in as many years. He also accepted about $10 million below his max salary to facilitate returns for Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala. Leaving this summer, after declining his player [...]

The Boston Celtics haven’t even had Kyrie Irving on their roster for a year, and yet they’re already afraid of losing him. During a conversation on Yahoo Sports’ NBA podcast with Shams Charania, Chris Mannix said that the organization is seriously worried about losing the All-Star point guard in free agency next summer when he [...]

Though the Houston Rockets have been mentioned as contenders in this summer’s LeBron James sweepstakes, he’s not the only superstar for which they have eyes. Add Paul George to their list. From Rockets Wire’s Kelly Iko: In addition to the Rockets’ longstanding interest in free agent-to-be LeBron James, another noteworthy longtime target of general manager [...]

For any Los Angeles Lakers fans who believe CJ McCollum is sitting on a crystal ball, I have some good news: Paul George is about to join your favorite team. During a recent appearance on The Woj Pod, the Portland Trail Blazers guard was asked whether he would try recruiting George on behalf of his own [...]

Paul George will miss the next six to eight weeks while recovering from a left knee scope. Fortunately for the Oklahoma City Thunder, their season is already over, so this doesn’t impact their immediate plans. Unfortunately for them, George will still enter free agency (player option), and they still run the risk of possibly losing [...]

Kobe Bryant? A bastion of…patience? And…of process? No. Surely not. Like, seriously, no. Counterpoint: Yes. Speaking on Fox Sports Radio’s Chris and Caron, the five-time NBA champion and future Hall of Famer made it clear he doesn’t want his Los Angeles Lakers busting up their youth movement to facilitate an epic free agency coup. Here are [...]

The Oklahoma City didn’t come anywhere close to meeting expectations in the 2017-18 season after acquiring Paul George and Carmelo Anthony in the off-season, losing in six games in the 1st round to the Utah Jazz. That is not exactly what anybody envisioned happening and makes Paull George’s free agency decision that much more interesting [...]

Enes Kanter sure seems like he’s prepping for free agency. The soon-to-be 26-year-old big man said at the end of the regular season he was leaning toward declining his player option next year and exploring the open market. If you’re an NBA betting man you’d likely not think it possible. The notion seemed almost blasphemous. [...]

The Chicago Bulls made the (correct) decision to completely blow it up this past summer by shedding many of their veterans and their cap space in order to start from scratch and start rebuilding through the draft. They made a very good (although it was criticized at the time) decision to use the No. 7 [...]

It has become very apparent over the last few months that the Philadelphia 76ers are the team of the future in the eastern conference and maybe the NBA with two superstars under the age of 25 and a talented roster around them. Combine that with the fact that they will have a king’s ransom of [...]
