Dalton Knecht is officially running out of time as Lakers' training camp battle looms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers' training camp hasn't even begun, but they already have a roster battle brewing. The Lakers have 16 players under contract but just 15 roster spots. That means that players Dalton Knecht and Jaden Hardy will be forced to compete for the last roster spot. Given that the Lakers selected Knecht 17th overall in the 2024 NBA draft, his lack of a guaranteed roster spot is already disappointing. After early success, he has largely been a non-factor with the Lakers. If he doesn't
NBA’s second apron rules may crush the Knicks’ dynasty dreams (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Knicks are just days away from beginning their championship defense, but a frustrating roster reality may be creeping in. The Knicks are already in contract negotiations with star Karl-Anthony Towns, but those negotiations have reportedly stalled, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. They simply can't afford to bring him back for a max $276 million extension and are probably hoping that he will take far less than the max. Even if he does, they could be forced to pay him and star Jale
Jalen Duren free agent twist confirms Pistons' worst fear ahead of training camp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the October 1st deadline inches closer, the Detroit Pistons are forced to confront a frustrating Jalen Duren reality. Duren has until October 1st to accept the qualifying offer, which will pay him $9.3 million next season and allow him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. That is almost unheard of for a restricted free agent to take the qualifying offer. Especially with the Pistons reportedly offering him a 5-year, $200 million deal. However, according to The Athletic, there were
Warriors' next move after Steph Curry's extension may land them a superstar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With news that Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry signed a two-year $116 million extension, attention now turns to their next move. Golden State hasn't done much this summer to improve their roster. In fact, I'd argue that they have done very little and appear to be one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. However, Curry took far less than the max, giving them up to $60 million and cap space next summer. In doing so, they could potentially lure a star free agent to the Bay Area than
Knicks are one costly Karl-Anthony Towns mistake from sabotaging dynasty hopes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Knicks are gearing up to defend their championship this season, but a surprising Karl-Anthony Towns update threatens their repeat hopes. Towns is eligible for a four-year $276 million extension, a pricey number even for the Knicks. Despite Towns helping them win a championship, extension talks between him and New York "have stagnated," according to ESPN's Shams Charnia and perhaps for good reason. There is a scenario in which they could be paying star Jalen Brunson and Towns roughly
