Johnson of the Chicago Tribune: Taj Gibson has survived near-annual trade rumors to become, in his eighth season, the longest-tenured Bull. He’s also poised to become an [...]

The Utah Jazz do not seem overly worried about Gordon Hayward’s scheduled foray into free agency next summer. That’s a big deal. Hayward holds a player option on 2017-18 worth a little more than $16.7 million, which he will decline. He is in the prime of his career and the salary cap is expected to [...]

Andrew Bogut has been a member of the Dallas Mavericks for, like, a minute, and yet he’s already thinking about staying with them beyond this season. From NBA.com’s Scott Howard-Cooper: Next summer, Bogut will be 32 and a free agent, able to select a championship contender for another run at a ring. Yet his first [...]

The Houston Rockets showed Donatas Motiejunas some level of respect when they extended him, but not Terrence Jones, a qualifying offer at the start of the summer, making him a restricted free agent.

LeBron James remains one of the NBA’s many unsigned free agents, but he won’t stay that way for long. Actually, that’s a slight lie. He might. He could stay unsigned for two months, two weeks, two days, two minutes. We don’t really know. When he finally does put pen to paper on a new deal, [...]

DeMar DeRozan is going to get a max contract when he hits free agency this summer. And after much speculation, it seems like the Toronto Raptors are prepared to be the team footing such a bill. General manager Masai Ujiri, at least, sounds like a guy ready to pay his All-Star shooting guard, per James [...]

Nicolas Batum has sounded like a guy who wants to remain in Charlotte Hornets teal and purple for a while.
