The new Warrior is a great shooter, but has been known as a ballhog and chucker in the past. Will he buy into Warriors’ system?
At Sunday’s practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr implored new addition Nick Young to shoot more. It’s a funny request for one of the most notorious chuckers in recent NBA history, and even more absurd given the Warriors’ egalitarian offense.
Wade will team up with his good friend LeBron James.
Dwyane Wade has reached an agreement with the Cleveland Cavaliers and will sign a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the team Wednesday, according to The Vertical’s Shams Charania. Wade had agreed to a buyout with the Chicago Bulls Sunday and was officially put on waivers by the team Monday.
Wade is a free agent now. Where will he go?
Dwyane Wade is a free agent again. He’s agreed to a buyout of the remaining year on his contract with the Chicago Bulls, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
That frees Wade to join a contender, which was long expected once the Bulls traded Jimmy Butler and committed to a rebuilding effort. A reunion with LeBron James and the Cavaliers is possible, but the Spurs are in the mix, as is a reunion with the Miami Heat, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
LOS ANGELES—LeBron James is hopeful Dwyane Wade will join the Cleveland Cavaliers after he secured his buyout from the Chicago Bulls.
The 35-year-old guard bought out his contract with the Bulls on Sunday, and is now poised to listen to offers from a string of potential suitors.
Wade passed up around $8 million in salary to obtain the buyout, according to ESPN.
Melo joins the Thunder after helping drag New York out of the doldrums of NBA standings.
The New York Knicks have traded perennial All-Star Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal marks the end of a seven-year period of Anthony as the face of Knicks basketball.
As part of the deal, New York receives Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 second-round pick via the Bulls.
Can’t spell Carmelo Anthony without Hoodie Melo.
Carmelo Anthony seems ready to embrace Oklahoma City and he’s brought his hoodies with him. The best part about this offseason was being formally introduced to Anthony’s better half: Hoodie Melo.
J.R. claps back at claims that LeBron is leaving.
In case you have been living under a rock, LeBron James is a free agent after this upcoming season. As with every season that James has an impending free agency, people have been running wild with speculation regarding what decision he is going to make.
He had his flaws, but the Knicks shoulder most of the blame for his six-year tenure not fulfilling its promise.
I remember exactly where I was the night Carmelo Anthony broke the record.
I was at a bar called Stillwater Tavern in Hampton, Va., where I did my undergrad years. While my friends were ordering drinks, I was watching Melo go to work against the Bobcats on a cold winter night in January. I was obsessed with the Knicks back then. I still am.
The new-look Thunder should be very good, and very expensive.
The Oklahoma City Thunder traded for Carmelo Anthony on Saturday. But this story starts five years ago.
Coming off of an appearance in the 2012 NBA Finals, the Thunder traded James Harden, drowning a potential superteam in its baptismal water. The Thunder, locked in a tiny NBA market by choice, couldn’t afford to pay the luxury tax for a decade, even if it meant competing for and even winning championships. GM Sam Presti was unable to convince Harden, a budding star, to take less than his value and make the numbers work. He flipped Harden for a cheaper option and picks.
