Otto Porter Accepts Player Option
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter has accepted his $28.4 million player option for next season, which should come as a surprise to no one. There was absolutely no chance Porter would get anything near that amount of money in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls attempt to trade Porter, but they […]
DeMar DeRozan Staying With Spurs
San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan has unsurprisingly accepted his $27.7 million player option for next season. This was a no-brainer for him since it's unlikely he'd get anything close to that in free agency. There has been speculation that the Spurs want to trade DeRozan, but it'll be difficult finding a suitor that wants […]
Denzel Valentine Gets Qualifying Offer
Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine surprisingly has been extended a $4.7 million qualifying offer. That means, Valentine is a restricted free agent, so the Bulls can match any offers that he receives. It is quite odd the Bulls extended this offer since Valentine has not had a significant role on the team. Although, the Bulls […]
Rodney Hood Declines Player Option
Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has reportedly declined his player option for next season. He suffered an Achilles tear last December, but it appears he's fully healthy for training camp. The player option was worth $6 million, so it's tough to see him getting more money in free agency. Possibly, Hood just wanted […]
Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn Returning To Miami
Miami Heat guards Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn have been given guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. The organization will bring back both players on a team-friendly $1.7 million contract. Robinson will continue to chuck up shots from beyond the perimeter. Nunn could still a bigger role next season, assuming Goran Dragic leaves or returns […]
Gordon Hayward's Option Deadline Extended
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward will reportedly get the deadline for him to make a decision on his player option extended. The option is worth $34.2 million, so it'd be surprising to see Hayward decline that offer. He won't get anywhere near that kind of money in free agency, especially with his injury history. Hayward […]
Robert Covington Traded To Portland
The Houston Rockets may be starting a rebuild, as they traded forward Robert Covington to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday for Trevor Ariza and a pair of first-round picks. Covington is one of the NBA's best three-and-D players and projects to immediately move into the starting lineup for Portland, where he'll provide strong numbers […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Traded To Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks are going all in. On Monday, they acquired forward/guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova, and D.J. Wilson. Bogdanovic will likely slot in as the starter at the two this season in a revamped Bucks lineup that will also now feature Jrue Holiday. Bogdanovic's counting […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To OKC
Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a package that sends Chris Paul to the Suns. Oubre averaged a career-high 18.7 points per game last season along with 6.4 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from three. He should maintain a sizable role on a Thunder […]
Nets Trade For Bruce Brown Jr.
Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick. Brown had some good moments with Detroit last year, starting 43 games and averaging 28.2 minutes per contest. He averaged 8.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. It's really hard to know […]
Dzanan Musa Traded To Pistons
Brooklyn Nets forward Dzanan Musa has been traded to the Detroit Pistons along with a 2021 second-round pick in exchange for Bruce Brown Jr. On the surface, this seems like a losing deal for the Pistons, who pick up a promising player in Musa that has also struggled so far during his time in the […]
NBA Trade Moratorium Will End At Noon Monday
It's almost trade season in the NBA. The league's moratorium on trades will be lifted at Noon EST on Monday, paving the way for a flurry of moves ahead of Wednesday's NBA Draft and Friday's opening to free agency. A busy week for the NBA is 24 hours away, and rumored deals like the Thunder […]
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Drawing Interest From Knicks
Dallas Mavericks forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is reportedly drawing some interest from the New York Knicks. New Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau appears to have eyes for the soon to be free agent forward. Kidd-Gilchrist is a decent defender, but doesn't have much value outside of that. This sounds like a move to add depth, so Kidd-Gilchrist […]
Jonathan Isaac Finally Off Crutches
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) was seen walking around with a knee brace, but is off crutches. Isaac has reportedly been off crutches for several weeks, which is great news in his recovery process. He appears to be upbeat about it despite not being able to play at all next season. Isaac will sit […]
Warriors To Potentially Deal No. 2 Pick
The Golden State Warriors have been in talks to trade the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft. With Stephen Curry (hand) and Klay Thompson (knee) still in their primes despite battling injuries, the team may look at scenarios that could lead to another championship. If the Warriors decide to hold on to […]
NBA Free Agency Set To Begin Nov. 20
The NBA and NBA Players Association have agreed to a deal that will start free agency on Nov. 20, just two days after the 2020 NBA draft. With the NBA season tipping off on Dec. 22, free agency is likely to progress even more quickly than normal as teams try to quickly establish their 2020-21 […]
Pacers Interested In Keeping Justin Holiday
Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday is set to hit the open market this winter. The organization has made it clear that they want to keep Holiday around going forward. The two sides have already spoken, but free agency is most likely still a few weeks away. Holiday should receive plenty of offers after the year […]
LeBron James, Danny Green Probable For Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) and guard Danny Green (finger) are listed as probable for Sunday's Game 6 against the Miami Heat. Both players have been listed as probable throughout the series, but continue to play. Green was limited earlier in the series, but played 24 minutes during Game 5. James and Green […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play In Game 2
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will suit up for Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. He sprained his left ankle during the first half of Game 1 on Wednesday. It was going to take a lot to keep Butler off the court for this game. Sadly, they will be without Goran […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Accept Player Option
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward is expected to accept his player option for next season. The option is worth $34 million, which is much higher than Hayward would receive on the open market. His time in Boston has been disappointing, but injuries have derailed him for most of it. He averaged 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, […]
Jayson Tatum Likely To Get Maximum Extension
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is expected to receive a max contract extension from the organization this offseason. This is a no-brainer for the Celtics after the 22-year-old proved himself to be a superstar this season. He averaged 25.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.0 steals and 2.8 triples during the playoffs. It […]
