David West essentially said no thanks to $12 million last summer when he elected to turn down the Pacers offer and accept the veteran’s minimum to join the Spurs in quest of a championship. The Spurs fell short, so his gamble didn’t pay off. But that has not deterred him. West is up to it [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is still a member of the Dallas Mavericks after agreeing a two-year, $40 million…and that was always the plan. We knew this, of course. Nowitzki is a Mavericks lifer. It was difficult to envision him playing anywhere else. But the Golden State Warriors had the ability to carve out cap space, plus the [...]

So much for the relationship between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook being peachy keen. They themselves have denied it, and it has become common practice to vilify those who think a rift between the two existed. But the separation between them, as a source told Bleacher Report’s Howard Beck, was apparently very real: Their partnership [...]

According to some reports the Warriors may have interest in adding Ray Allen to the newly anointed “Splash Family”, taking over the official and honored designation as the “Splash Father”.

Kevin Durant will meet with six teams during the free agency over the next few days as well as meeting with [...]

Don’t think the Golden State Warriors haven’t done their homework on Kevin Durant. During an episode of The Vertical Podcast with Woj, The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that Golden State’s players have been recruiting him to the Bay Area all season. Here’s the transcription, via ProBasketballTalk’s Dan Feldman: Here’s the thing that’s interesting about Golden [...]

The pain of losing in the Finals to the Cavs still has be very fresh for the Warriors. Especially given they were up 3-1, lost game 7 on their home court, and won 73 regular season games. To make it worse for some of their players, they’ll have to see at least one member of [...]

Stephen Jackson has been out of basketball for a few years, but has been making his rounds on ESPN. He’s interesting to listen to and probably has a strong TV career looking at him if it’s something he wants to pursue full-time. But maybe that’s not quite on his mind yet, as the 38 year [...]
