You're just messing with us by putting Bryn on there right

Good call regarding 5:02 because the internet is a little slow in the Olympic Village, tnbh

you forgot Millsap and all the other guys over 35. Demarre Carroll is coming off the books, we need to pay somebody for retirement. Been a Spurs tradition since Pau Gasol

[lmbebo]

Heard Jaret Allen resigning in Cleveland for 5/100.

Could we expect that the Spurs would receive any draft compensation or additional players from the Bulls if they pursue a Derozan/Markannen double S&T?

I would think the Spurs would get something because otherwise the Spurs could just sign him outright. The Bulls are the team that need to juggle salaries to make Ball, DeRozan, etc. work.

Lets goooooo

[TrueSpursFan]

I wonder what happened to Markkanen. He was the next coming of Dirk. Maybe a new fresh start would help his game. Either way, wouldn’t Derozan and Markkanen want this to happen for the sign and trade to work? Why not just outright sign Markkanen?

Spurs could get a pick back

Ok then at least a pick for derozan before he’s gone. It’s something I guess

[Seventyniner]

Dieng for something like 2 yrs $10M wouldn't bother me at all tbh. Maybe even a third year if he takes a bit less per year, but 2023 looks like a good year to try and line up contracts for if the Spurs don't make a big splash this summer.

Then again, the Spurs lined up all their contracts to have huge cap room now and the FA market is pretty barren.

Dallas, I'm told, is expected to reach agreement to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr. early in free agency. Hardaway and Boban Marjanovic are two Mavs free agents they were determined to retain and sources say they will. 30-ish minutes 'til the bell rings. More: marcstein.substack.com/p/free-agency-…

and then people blame Luka for not getting out of first round. The guy will be on suicide watch having to play with for the next 5 years.

Shams Sharania: John Collins and the Atlanta Hawks are not close to a contract agreement at this moment in time. - very interesting.

[Dejounte]

Looked at a few highlights and the dude is not bad at all. Good fit as a power forward.

Shams just said on the Stadium live show that John Collins and the Hawks aren’t close to a deal as of right now. He said other teams with interest in Collins are watching that situation

[Dejounte]
