Of course ESPN is going to pull for him to go to the Lakers

[venitian navigator]

its annoying how much they are pushing this in lakers favor with any possible argument...it really makes youn wonder how fair it is that they behave this way from a deonthologiacl standing point, considering that after all they are still having a job that supposedly en les them to tell news and opinions in an objective way. They are clearly one sided and pushing players choices...

San Antonio Spurs: Tony Parker

The San Antonio Spurs reportedly have their sights set on LeBron James, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.
"I've also been advised that the ever-persuasive San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is bound to try to force his way into the conversation to sell James on the merits of South Texas," Stein reported in early June.
How the mechanics of that would work is another question, though it is possible the Spurs could move some salaries (Pau Gasol and either Danny Green or Patty Mills would make it work).

If the Spurs are not able to force the stars to align, they'll probably try to retain Tony Parker.

Parker is no longer the threat he once was, as he averaged 7.7 points and 3.5 assists per game last year. He doesn't have the same speed. But he does still have four rings with San Antonio and the experience that comes with them. David Robinson retired a Spur. Tim Duncan retired a Spur. Manu Ginobili will retire a Spur (if he finally retires). There's a pattern here. The Spurs keep their greats. It would be a shock to see Parker wearing a different uniform.

LOL. This seems like the worst take you could possibly make. Tony Parker is our top FA target? Sports journalists have gotten lazy.

You hooked me with DeMarcus. I want him as I think he'd be a perfect small ball killer.

There is two very talented players in the league that I think would become the best versions of themselves and reach their max potential if they played for Pop. One is Russell Westbrook and the other IMO DeMarcus Cousins. I think if both of these guys, if they played for Pop and were willing to listen and be coached by him, I think would take their games to their max levels IMO.

Again with the Pop is god bs, pathetic!

Again with the Pop is god bs, pathetic!

Pop is only "god" because he has the backing of his franchise and also the "Big 3". The magical part is that you have to get rid of your selfish mentality to play for the Spurs. Most other franchises don't do this actually it is the opposite, they feed the selfishness and marketability of the "star" player so that they can retain them and sell tickets. I have always respected the Spurs history of this. To me it all started when David Robinson completely let Tim Duncan be the star on the court while he concentrated on the dirty work for the sake of winning championships. Most all stars in today's NBA would hugely benefit from this no nonsense coaching. Too bad our society promotes stats and being selfish with bigger and fatter contracts. Spurs will always have an uphill battle with free agents but I respect their strategy in this regard.

Euroleague's Axel Toupane is starting private workouts for NBA teams this week, pursuing free-agent deal in July. Toupane, a 6-foot-7 shooting/defending wing with prior NBA experience, helped lead Zalgiris to Euroleague Final Four.

Jordan about to be traded? At least we don't have to worry about Rivers Jr anymore.

First domino has fallen

[LakerHater]

Austin Rivers traded for Gortat, Deandre Jordan possibly gone

[Ron Swanson]

I guess Jordan is opting out.

[NASpurs]

I guess Jordan is opting out.

Probably but I kept reading the Mavs want to trade for him if he opts-in.

[Mugen]

Assuming they move off of Deandre (whether they lose him to FA or trade), can the Clippers get into the Bron or Paul George race?

[BatManu20]

I think Jordan is opting in, then being traded. No idea why he’d opt out when nobody else is going to pay him $24M this season.

That makes more sense.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will not tender Marcus Georges-Hunt a qualifying offer, a league source told The Athletic. He will become an unrestricted free agent as a result. He played 42 games for Minnesota last season.
