The agreement was on hold pending a NBA’s investigation into whether the Clippers circumvented salary cap rules with regard to Leonard’s compensation.

After weeks of inactivity, the New York Knicks finally made a move. Nothing earth shattering but they’re taking a flier on a 6-foot-10 youngster that has some intriguing attributes.

Last week, the Utah Jazz fandom found a new, shiny object of desire. It wouldn’t be the summertime without this tradition; I’ll remember fondly the days when I would contemplate longingly the backcourt fit of Donovan Mitchell and Jrue Holiday, or how Jerami Grant’s length could potentially shore up our perimeter defense. However, the new member of this storied club is not sparking my imagination in quite the same way. Enter Myles Turner. Now, do not be fooled by the headline, because I do und...

The Pistons should trade Jalen Duren. Or at least begin seriously considering it if he signs his $9.6 million qualifying offer. That is the argument made by Blake Silverman of NBA on SI, who notes that Detroit could otherwise watch its 22-year-old All-Star center become an unrestricted free agent and leave for nothing next summer.

The Clippers finally traded Kawhi Leonard. Now they have to assemble an actual basketball team from what remains. The roster isn’t devoid of talent. It is, however, oddly shaped.

Cavaliers Just as the Cavaliers finished reshaping themselves for another run through the Eastern Conference, Toronto added Kawhi Leonard. That qualifies as an inconvenience.
