NBA Free Agency

Time to whale on that panic button, Miami. Just kidding. Miami Heat fans have nothing to worry about. Yet. LeBron James is a still a member of the Heat. For now. According to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst (h/t Eye On Basketball), chances are LeBron will opt out of his current contract with the Heat and become [...]

That didn’t take long. The San Antonio Spurs haven’t even cracked their last bottle of NBA championship bubbly—or Tim Duncan’s case, NBA championship warm milk—yet, and already the focus has shifted to the team they dethroned. [tweet https://twitter.com/danfavale/status/478376989725057025] This always figured to be a big offseason for the Miami Heat, what with LeBron James, Dwyane [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is speaking for the entire Dallas Mavericks organization when he clears his throat, turns to Carmelo Anthony and says, “Yo, what up?” The New York Knicks superstar is expected to hit free agency this summer, at which point he could leave for greener pastures, roads paved in honey and gold and all that [...]

Ricky Rubio must consider himself an optimist. Few things call for more glass-half-empty takes than the relationship between Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves. It’s awful. If it wasn’t bad before this season, it’s in shambles now, with Love 13 months from free agency and the Timberwolves 10 years removed from their last playoff berth. [...]

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are many things to one another. They are opponents. They are friends. They are members of the All-Star brat pack. Could they also be future teammates? LeBron apparently hopes so. Writing on the deliberateness behind the Los Angeles Lakers’ long, infecund coaching search, USA Today‘s Sam Amick, dropped this gem: [...]

June is here and you know what that means: unfounded NBA rumors are in the air. Disgruntled Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love—who has basically requested a trade even though he really hasn’t—was in Boston recently, so naturally that means he’s poised to join the Boston Celtics by way of trade or 2015 free agency. Love [...]

Luol Deng, Cleveland barely knew ya. The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for the two-time All-Star midway through the regular season. No one was quite sure if he would want to stay in Cleveland, playing for a Cavs team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2010. It was supposed to come down to money. Deng rejected a [...]

Dwyane Wade won’t let you put the blame for LeBron James’ free-agency decision on him. Maybe Akron will. But Wade won’t. People haven’t stopped talking bout LeBron’s free agency this year. It’s most definitely not as bad as the 2009-10 campaign, when he was trapped in the utter, star sidekick-less hell known as Cleveland, but [...]

Look into the New York Knicks’ future. Do you see Kevin Durant? If you do, holla at me. I’d like to know. It seems the Knicks may be plotting a Durant chase in 2016, according to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Knicks coaching candidate Derek Fisher may not only turn out to be a [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire may, at some point over his last three decades of life, have stayed at a Holiday Inn one night. But that doesn’t mean he parades around claiming to know things he doesn’t. Because he doesn’t. Speaking on ESPN Radio’s The Herd with Cowerd, the New York Knicks forward was asked if he thought [...]
