NBA Free Agency

Pau Gasol wants Dwight Howard to hurry up. OK, those weren’t his exact words, but he understands the value of Superman making a quick decision. Speaking with Sam Amick of USA Today, the Los Angeles Lakers big man touched upon Howard’s impending free-agent nuptials: “Obviously from the team’s standpoint, the sooner Dwight makes his decision [...]

The Golden State Warriors continue to make an impression. Stephen Curry and his band of supposed misfits shocked the NBA sphere when they upset the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs and pushed the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the second. They now have our attention. And Dwight Howard’s too, [...]

To no one’s surprise, Dwight Howard isn’t happy. Superman is often found smirking and joking around, but he’s not genuinely happy. Not with the Los Angeles Lakers, specifically Mike D’Antoni. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com, Howard’s exit interview with general manager Mitch Kupchak comprised of him expressing extreme dissatisfaction with D’Antoni and all he [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t want J.R. Smith to go anywhere. The NBA’s reigning Sixth Man of the Year is likely to opt out of the second year of his contract to explore unrestricted free agency. He’s made it clear he wants to remain with the New York Knicks, but there’s no telling what the offseason could [...]

Dwight Howard is in no rush.

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have Dirk Nowitzki’s approval. Which should come as no surprise.

Speaking on Dallas’ offseason plans, Nowitzki endorsed the Mavericks [...]

Maybe Chris Paul isn’t such a flight risk after all. Following the Los Angeles Clippers’ first-round exit at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, I was of the mind that Paul would consider spurning Hollywood for a different locale. And I still am. Fellow Clipper Matt Barnes, however, is not. Speaking with ESPNLA 710, Barnes [...]

Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers have entered unchartered territory. Never before has Howard, an unrestricted free agent, had the option of choosing where he will play. Not like this. Even when he forced his way out of Orlando, he wasn’t sent to his first destination of choice (Brooklyn Nets). For the Lakers, they’re [...]

Chris Paul hasn’t yet come out and said he’s re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers directly, but he sure seems like he’s ultimately going to. Forget that the Clippers are in the playoffs for the second straight year. That doesn’t have as much to do with his decision right now. What does is how far [...]

Vinny Del Negro’s future with the Los Angeles Clippers may be in jeopardy, and I kid you not. According to T.J. Simers of the The Los Angeles Times, Del Negro’s relationship with the organization has gone sour: But now only the playoffs remain before Clippers’ management begins messing with success and chooses not to rehire [...]
