    Stephen Curry handcuffed the Warriors by taking an extension now (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In late September, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry told reporters that he planned to sign an extension "at the right time, once I have all the information I need to make the decision that is right." He apparently got that information less than 48 hours later, as he signed a two-year, $116 million extension that was roughly $20 million less than the maximum amount he could have received. "We're in a very interesting situation," Curry told reporters before he signed. "All the different sa

    8 burning questions we need to have answered at NBA Media Day (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks have already held their media days, but the NBA's other 28 teams are all set to have theirs on Monday. The Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors kick the festivities off at 9 a.m. ET. Here's guessing one of those will be slightly more well-attended than the other. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat take the podium 30 minutes later, and then we're off to the races with an all-day quote marathon. We aren't likely to get any earth-shattering news out of me

    The NBA's max-contract reckoning was long overdue (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ten years ago, the likes of Hassan Whiteside, Chandler Parsons and Harrison Barnes all received max contracts. This summer, not even Kawhi Leonard, Trae Young and Austin Reaves have gotten full max deals, and Stephen Curry might be next in that regard. That's because the NBA's second apron has forced a long-overdue reckoning when it comes to max contracts. A max deal has long been seen as a status symbol. Not only does it guarantee a player generational wealth, but it sends a signal about their

    Karl-Anthony Towns' stalled extension talks reveal a harsh truth about the Knicks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This past spring, Karl-Anthony Towns helped the New York Knicks snap their 53-year championship drought. Despite that, it's still unclear whether he'll become a long-term fixture in New York. This summer, Towns became eligible to sign a four-year extension worth up to $276 million. But with only a few days to go until training camp opens, talks between Towns and the Knicks "have stagnated," and an agreement "is not imminent and appears unlikely in the short term," ESPN's Shams Charania reported

    Why Jalen Duren might have to take a pay cut to leave Detroit (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the free-agency staredown between Jalen Duren and the Detroit Pistons, the latter blinked first. In mid-September, Sam Amick and Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reported that Duren was seeking a five-year deal worth at least $200 million, while the Pistons' offer topped out in the five-year, "$190 million range." But on Monday, Amick and Patterson reported that the Pistons "upped their offer by $10 million in recent days," bringing them to a five-year, $200 million deal "that has no team or
