If you missed any of this week’s biggest stories, don’t worry because we’ve got it covered with our Week in Review. Listed below are some the more noteworthy news items from the last seven days.
The Rockets officially signed Carmelo Anthony to a one-year contract. Anthony had already verbally agreed to chase a ring with Houston once he cleared waivers. He will now team up with the All-Star backcourt of James Harden and Chris Paul, giving the Rockets more star power as they try once again to knock the Warriors from their perch.
Stephen Curry declared he wants to be a Warrior for life. Golden State didn’t have any concerns about losing its two-time MVP in the near future. Curry has four years remaining on the five-year, $201MM contract that he signed last summer. But if all goes well, Curry will join the likes of Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, stars who played for only one franchise.
The Nets guaranteed Spencer Dinwiddie‘s contract for next season. Brooklyn didn’t have to give Dinwiddie a guarantee until January 10. With Dinwiddie making just $1.656MM, it was a no-brainer for the Nets to guarantee that money to a player who averaged 12.6 PPG and 6.6 APG in 28.8 MPG last season.
Shabazz Muhammad agreed to re-sign with the Bucks. Muhammad, who joined Milwaukee last season after getting bought out by the Timberwolves, will have to fight for a roster spot after only being offered a training-camp deal.
Dwyane Wade revealed he would either re-sign with the Heat or retire. Wade reportedly had a lucrative offer to play in China but he’s not interested in continuing his career overseas. He’ll either rejoin Miami’s crowded backcourt or hang up his shoes and await his Hall of Fame induction.
