3 Trade Destinations for Karl-Anthony Towns
We heard the news earlier this week that things are starting to get tense in New York around extension talks (or lack of progress thereof) for Karl-Anthony Towns. It was even referred to by Shams Charania as a "growing cloud" over the team. Should Towns be rewarded with the deal that he's looking for? “No sh*t Sherlock. I just won a Championship," said KAT. "You’d think it was pretty easy. Unless you guys think I have something else to prove.” It's hard to imagine the Knicks will m...
Report: Anthony Davis's Future Is NOT With Wizards
Anthony Davis is saying all the right things about wanting to be in Washington, and a part of what the Wizards are building. But if it wasn't already clear, we're all starting to read the tea leaves and realize that Anthony Davis's future is NOT with the Wizards. His contract demands ensure that, and his agents are already looking for alternate destinations. REPORT: Anthony Davis is reportedly seeking a 4-year, $275M max extension, but, the Washington Wizards are unlikely to offer it due...
Karl Anthony Towns & Josh Hart Talks Becoming a 'Growing Cloud' Around the Knicks
It's been one big party all summer for the New York Knicks, as they celebrated the iconic franchise's first NBA championship since 1973. But now, as training camp is underway, the reality has set in on what the team can and will do to keep the good times going. And according to insider Shams Charania, the uncertainty about extensions for Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart has left a "growing cloud" around the team. The temperature could rise before the trade deadline if Karl-Anthony Towns ...

League sources have confirmed to @ClutchPoints that Max Strus suffered a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot during Sunday’s preseason game against the Warriors.

Jalen Duren Opens Up On Feelings Of Re-Signing With Pistons
After an extremely contentious offseason, in which Jalen Duren insisted he was "disrespected" by the Detroit Pistons, and threatened to take a one-year qualifying offer, the All-Star center faced the media to open up on how he feels NOW, after signing his five-year, $200 million deal. Jalen Duren’s message to Pistons fans: “I am a Detroit Piston, I want to be a Detroit Piston for life. I want to give everything I’ve got for this city and the fans. From me to y’all, y’all will have everything I...
3 Landing Spots For De'Aaron Fox, Who Is 'Not Long' For San Antonio
Are De'Aaron Fox's days in San Antonio numbered? According to a report, the point guard's name will be on the trade market this season, as the Spurs move to bank more fully on their young backcourt of the present & future. De’Aaron Fox figures to crop back up in NBA trade rumors if he plays well coming out of the gate, per @SeanDeveney “He does not have a long-term future in San Antonio, but he does have a long-term contract.” ( https://t.co/WsQNH9PFQK ) pic.twitter.com/fwZIqUCrGv — Full...
Jalen Duren Makes $200M Decision, But Pistons 'Need to Repair Relationship'
In the end, despite the hard feelings, All-Star center Jalen Duren just couldn't bring himself to leave $200 million on the table. Pretty astute business decision, we'd say. He accepted the Detroit Pistons' five-year, $200M offer to re-sign as a restricted free agent, rather than take a $9.6M qualifying offer to play out the season. But now comes the hard part: The Pistons and Duren "need to repair their relationship", as Sam Amick noted in The Athletic writes. It took ...

Wizards' Potential Sign & Trade Offer For Jalen Duren
Jalen Duren continues to be extremely down on the Detroit Pistons, who have offered him $200 million on a five-year deal—but they took too long, apparently, to get to that level. Yes, first-world problems, but Duren is feeling very disrespected by the Pistons. And it sounds like they are starting to warm to the possibility of having to ship him out in a sign-and-trade. One team that has been recently added to the list of interested suitors for such a scenario is the Washington Wizards. N...

Kings Reporters Caught Trashing Ben Simmons & Zach LaVine on Hot Mic
Media Day can often be a dry, predictable affair across the NBA, as players regurgitate lines about being in the best shape of their lives, feeling their team really has a chance this year...

Steph Curry Does Kawhi One Better On Extension
A lot was made about the fact that Kawhi Leonard left $11M on the table in negotiating a two-year, $115 million extension with the Toronto Raptors last week. Now we see that Steph Curry, signing his own two-year extension, has out-Kawhi'd Kawhi, scoring $1M more from the Golden State Warriors with a $116M deal — but he left a full $20M on the table, per reports. Stephen Curry’s 2-year, $116 Million extension is $20 MILLION LESS than what he was eligible for, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks 💰❌ ...

D’Angelo Russell Becomes Free Agent After Being Traded For 7th Time
D'Angelo Russell finds himself in free agency once again, as he's been waived by the Memphis Grizzlies. He's free to sign with any team, and he is hoping to hook up with a contender. The Memphis Grizzlies have waived D’Angelo Russell, sources tell ESPN.

Bucks Ready & Willing To Do Sign-and-Trade Deal With Pistons
The Jalen Duren stalemate continues to drag on in Detroit, even after the Pistons came up to the player's stated minimum contract requirement, $200 million (over five years). Still, Duren has not accepted. It appears that the relationship is so frayed at this point after a summer of contentious negotiations that Duren wants to move on. To do that, there are only two options: Convince the Pistons to make a sign-and-trade deal to send him elsewhere (which they really don't want to do), or ...

The NBA is looking into a potential cap-circumvention violation by the Milwaukee Bucks and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who inked a four-year, $64 million guaranteed contract in July that raised t...
Lonzo Ball Addresses His 'Retirement Announcement'
Lonzo Ball was the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. His career, however, never got to where it could have gone due to a chronic and mysterious knee injury that knocked him out for close to three years. On Wednesday, he made comments on a podcast that sounded very much like a retirement announcement. Listen for yourself: Lonzo Ball indicates he's done with basketball: "I feel like I gave everything I had to hoop, and I feel like everything I got in my life is because of hoop. I’m grat...

Jalen Duren's Next Move With Pistons Is 'Up in the Air'
The Detroit Pistons have upped their offer to restricted free agent Jalen Duren. Now at $200 million over five years. That is exactly what he was asking for, at the minimum.
