Today, both Marco Bellinelli and John Wall announced that they have retired from basketball.

Hadn't heard Bellinelli's name in a while.  A long and solid career, both here and overseas.  Sounds like he went out a champ in Italy this past season.  Wall was awfully fun to watch before all of the injuries.  He gave the Celtics all they could handle that one 7 game series.

Feel bad Middleton has to end his career on that team.

It always cracks me up when a player that hasn't played a meaningful minute of basketball in like 4 years announces he is now retiring.

It's kinda' like when an employee gets fired and says, "You aren't firing me. I quit."

There should be a different term than retiring for this. Retiring is something you do gracefully when there is still a small amount of interest in you as a player. It's a graceful exit.

What John Wall and others do is much less ... elegant.

I always think of Keith Van Horn as the poster boy for guys whose contracts became more useful than their skill sets.

Al Horford and the Golden State Warriors continue to wait on a resolution to the Jonathan Kuminga situation before finalizing their agreement.

Horford could be signed for the full taxpayer midlevel exception on a two-year deal with the second season a player option. The taxpayer midlevel exception for the 2025-26 season is worth $5.685 million.

Horford really must like the Warriors and their chances of a title. I thought he'd go to the Lakers by now or retire.

His skillset is tailor-made for that system. It'd be fun to watch him there, even if it did taste bitter.
