Stephen Curry will be a free agent next summer, which, for the purpose of 29 NBA teams, means absolutely nothing. He isn’t leaving the Golden State Warriors. The reigning two-time MVP got ahead of any potential free-agency rumblings on Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/780872772654276608] Shocker. Curry has become one of the two best [...]

What’s Will Barton worth to the Denver Nuggets? A lot. At least a first-round pick. Probably more, though. As if you needed any other evidence that the Nuggets won the Arron Afflalo trade from 2014-15, here’s Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post (h/t ProBasketballTalk): Now he’s being praised after a breakout season that landed him [...]

Serge Ibaka is committed to the Orlando Magic. How committed?

These types of deals not [...]

Jeff Van Gundy is higher on the new-look New York Knicks than Las Vegas. Currently, the over/under on New York’s win total for this season is 38.5. The Knicks clearly won’t be happy if that proves accurate. Improving by only five or six wins after adding Derrick Rose, whose civil trial for sexual assault begins [...]

If you thought the triumph and jubilation of signing Kevin Durant in free agency would erase the disappointment the Golden State Warriors felt when they lost Game 7 of the NBA Finals, you thought wrong.

The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas posted its annual season win totals on Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s David Purdum, and there weren’t many surprises. The Golden State Warriors are expected to win more games (66.5) than any other team, because duh. The Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs (56.5) are right behind them, because obviously.

From Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times: Multiple NBA sources told me the Bucks accelerated their attempts to trade Monroe this summer — even though from [...]

Rudy Gay seems to have purchased some property and has been residing on the trade block for quite some time now. That constant possibility of being dealt along with playing for a dysfunctional organization like the Kings has seemed to wear on the 30-year-old small forward. Gay made it no secret to Kings management that [...]
