The Pistons showed us the unbreakable power of restricted free agency
The Pistons had their star center in a very difficult spot, gave him minor concessions and in the 11th hour, he accepted them. The system is set up to this if teams have the will. Plus: Victor Wembanyama stands up to sports betting and the Blazers do an oopsie.
The preseason NBA coaching hot seat rankings
We had six offseason coaching changes, and (technically) two during last season. Who's on close watch heading into 2026-27?
Vegas provides a new meaning for the term 'NBA bubble'
Reports indicate bids for the Las Vegas expansion club are coming in at $12-13 billion. This is absolutely bonkers, even by the current standards of sports team valuations.
The Knicks' long march to the second apron
New York is two seasons away from apparent salary cap hell. But it's already impacting the team negatively. Can they survive the hike intact?
Steph Curry's discount is only half of the equation for Golden State
The legend takes a haircut to help the Warriors add another piece over the next year. But how are they going to land that other piece?
Most Improved candidates for every team
The most wide open NBA award allows our imaginations to run wild.
Ranking the 10 (current) NBA title contenders
At least a third of the league is in play to win the championship. Probably. Maybe. It's early!
Crunch time in the Jalen Duren saga
The Pistons are worried enough to increase their offer. Time is running out for Duren to say yes.
Extensions, meet the apron era
The future is built in the present moment for four more players who landed what appear to be team-friendly extensions in recent days. We run through them.
Breakthrough or break-up in Orlando
This could be the end of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner as Magic co-stars. How should the franchise approach a break-up?
Tiers of the East, 2026-27 Edition
This still isn't a preview; these still aren't predictions. Is there any way to make sense of and group the Eastern Conference teams before the season?
Green flag in Raptorland
The Kawhi Leonard trade has gone through. How seriously should we take Toronto?
White flags in Clipperland
Steve Ballmer decides the accusations aren't actually provably false and concedes defeat in the Great Fake Tree War of 2025-26.
Let's get all the Clippers' controversies out of the way
Bradley Beal will apparently wear No. 3 for Los Angeles. Oh boy. Plus: bad jerseys and more bad news for LAC.
ESPN caught up in explosion at the Clippers' bulls--t factory
A reporter on ESPN's ill-fated Steve Ballmer Innocent story finally speaks. It's a tough look.
Tiers of the West, 2026-27 edition
This isn't a preview, these aren't predictions. But where exactly do the general groupings between West teams sit right a month out from preseason?
Are the Clippers unique, or uniquely bad at this?
Is this just an Uncle Dennis problem? Or a Steve Ballmer problem?
Amen Thompson and the Rockets' causality dilemma
Houston signed their third young star to a below-max extension, joining Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr. Is it a signal about the trio's limits?
What do the Clippers do now? Spend, spend, spend
L.A. has the opportunity to use its financial resources and the apron era to rebuild a competitive team.
17 notes from the Clipperpocalypse
Adam Silver polished up his scepter real nice, and stuck it right through Chuck the Condor's heart.
The Pistons aren't bluffing, and won't. When will Jalen Duren back down?
The All-NBA restricted free agent reportedly wants just shy of the normal rookie extension max. Detroit is holding firm at a lower number. The team will probably win.
Sting or be stung
The Hornets decided to escape the LaMelo Ball business at a rather shocking moment in their arc. Are they of the nature to avoid regret?
The Wolves know who they are (this might not be a good thing)
Jonathan Kuminga heads to Minnesota to replace Naz Reid, in a way. Meanwhile, Bennedict Mathurin achieved new innovations in breaking restricted free agency.
Welcome to the seventh evolution of the Miami Heat
Klay Thompson, getting long in the tooth and perhaps shorter in range, joins the Giannis Antetokounmpo-Bam Adebayo-Andrew Wiggins edition of the Heat. How's it going to be?
There goes another NBA team
Marc Lore sells the controlling stake in the Timberwolves three years after getting in. The flipping will continue until morale improves.
