Warriors After Season
J.R. Smith, who helped the Cavs win the NBA title last June, remains unsigned. Smith and the Cavs have reached an impasse over the length of a proposed deal. Last year, Smith gambled that he would have a big season by signing a two-year deal with a one-year opt out at approxi- mately $5 million.

Russell Westbrook On Kevin Durant: 'I Haven't Talked To Him'
STEPHEN CURRY
Stephen Curry indi- cated Tuesday he'll likely re- sign with the Golden State Warriors after this season.
"Yes. Yes," Curry replied to questions about whether he's optimistic about return- ing to the Warriors. Next off- season will be the two-time reigning NBA MVP's first time as an unrestricted free agent.
Curry re-signing would be in contrast to decisions made by the other two most recent MVPs, Kevin Durant and LeBron James, who both went elsewhere after their rookie extensions ex- pired. Durant decided to join Curry with the War- riors, while James jumped from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat, only to re- turn to Cleveland in 2014 after four seasons in Miami.
Asked whether he'll con- sult with Durant on contract matters this season, Curry said, "Maybe, but I'm not going to let it distract me at all."
"I want to be back here. I like playing here, and that's it," he said.
Curry will earn more than $12 million this season, less than three of his team- mates (Durant, $26.5 mil- lion; Klay Thompson, $16.6 million; Draymond Green, $15.3 million). The Warriors intend to make up some of that difference this summer. Depending on where the salary cap falls, Curry's new deal could net him in excess of $30 million per season.
The Warriors are prepar- ing a 5 year, $175M deal for Curry.
Cavs Savor Championship By Reliving Game 7 Over And Over

only announced the news to “close family and friends.”
Russell Westbrook was short and to the point on Fri- day at the Oklahoma City Thunder's annual media day when asked about his rela- tionship with Kevin Du- rant.
"I haven't talked to him," he said.
The Thunder officially begin life without the former franchise player on Saturday as training camp opens, and Westbrook said he's excited about transitioning into a new era.
"I mean, it's definitely dif- ferent," Westbrook said. "It's not the same. Just miss- ing Kevin, Dion [Wait- ers], Serge [Ibaka], been with Serge, the same amount of time. Different guys but

I'm happy, ready to start camp with the new guys and embrace the moment.
"I think any change you have to get used to making a transition, got a new coach, got to get used to the transi- tion," Westbrook said. "I think any change you have to get used to."
Whether rewatching it on NBA TV or on DVR, or reliving it at parties or on social media, watching the historic Game 7 of the NBA Finals has become a pastime over the past three months in Cleveland. Add in some tearing up at the end of the game when the Cleveland Cavaliers win, even though the outcome is well known.
Certainly this is true for Cavs fans, but it's also true for the Cavs themselves.
The 2016-17 season is offi- cially open, but the Cavs are still savoring their champi- onship, specifically by repeat- edly rewatching their historic upset victory in Oakland on June 19. They rewind the Kyrie Irving 3-pointer that broke the tie, they play the Le- Bron James block of Andre Iguodala in slow motion, and they half laugh, half well up when seeing Kevin Love move his feet like he'd never moved them before in defend- ing Steph Curry. And then they tell each other about it.
"I was rewatching the games and talking to my team- mates about it, sending them snapchats of me watching," Irving said. "I got chills. My stomach was dropping know- ing the ball is going in but

knowing exactly, emotionally how I felt at the time. It still gets me excited thinking about it. It's such a huge moment for not only Cleveland but our team, our families, our friends."
Irving's face lit up as he talked about it, as if he were reliving a favorite Christmas memory from childhood. It was a shared experience. While not every Cavs player indulged, it became clear throughout the summer that the Cavs wanted to keep clutching the moment.
"I've seen it a few times," James said. "It was on NBA TV throughout the summer. I watch it from a fan's perspec- tive. I see what we could've done better, but I also watch it for enjoyment, to see those three zeros on the clock."
Dak Prescott Dating Johnny Manziel’s Former Playboy Fling
Dak Prescott is living every rookie’s dream.
The Mississippi State alum, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, has become the Cow- boys’ saving grace after fran- chise quarterback Tony Romo went down with a back injury during the pre- season.
At 2-1, Prescott is keep- ing Dallas very much alive in the NFC East race and has managed to stay intercep- tion-free.
Prescott is displaying poise on the field well beyond his 23 years, but showing he knows how to unwind off it.
Prescott reportedly is dating former Playboy Miss Social contestant Dallas Nicole Parks. When Parks, an avid NFL fan, isn’t rocking bikinis or Prescott’s jersey on Instagram, she’s ei- ther sporting Dolphins gear or trying Justin Pugh’s Gi- ants helmet on for size.
Though Parks and

Prescott are clearly going strong, this isn’t her first rodeo at the players’ corral. As Terez Owens reports, the platinum blond bomb- shell was once linked to Browns flameout Johnny Manziel. While it’s unclear how long the pair were to- gether — they reportedly met in Las Vegas two years ago — Parks appears to be Manziel’s type.
