Free Agency

When the sun finally sets on a bizarre 2017 free-agency period, Derrick Rose (probably) won’t be a member of the New York Knicks. But he could be on the Dallas Mavericks.

One of the bigger names and better unrestricted free agents on the market this summer is 27-year-old point guard and oft-injured Jrue Holiday. Holiday played 67 games for the Pelicans last year and averaged 15.4 points, 7.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game on 45% shooting from the field and 35% shooting from beyond the [...]

There is no doubt, especially with Chris Paul now off the market (he was never really on it I guess) and a member of the Houston Rockets, that Gordon Hayward is the grand prize in NBA free agency 2017. Hayward is 27 and coming off a career year where he set a new career-high in [...]

According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, the Rockets have emerged as a legitimate threat to sign Paul, a courtship that is being led by none other than James Harden: The Houston Rockets have emerged as increasingly serious [...]

If you had to describe Andre Iguodala’s free-agency market in one word, what should it be? Robust. And even that might be underselling it. At least seven teams plan to pursue the 33-year-old wing this summer, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes: Andre Iguodala has become the foremost target in an attempt to weaken the Golden State Warriors’ [...]

Danilo Gallinari has always been known to not be the most buttoned up with his comments to the media. He’s also had a tendency to be refreshingly honest throughout his career. That was the case Tuesday morning as Gallanari basically said returning to the Nuggets isn’t at the top of his list in free agency, [...]

The Dallas Mavericks informed Dirk Nowitzki they would be declining his team option on Sunday. But don’t worry: This is all part of a plan. He isn’t going anywhere. Here’s ESPN.com’s Marc Stein with the deets: The Dallas Mavericks have informed Dirk Nowitzki that they will decline their $25 million team option for next season [...]

The NBA’s market for free-agent point guards is about to get weird. Exhibit A: The Dallas Mavericks.
