Nah. They can do it immediately, like how CP3 was traded after opting in with LAC.
if demar opts in, do the spurs have to wait for a period of time before they can trade him ??

I saw that headline and thought Pop hired a new assistant coach, tbh.
Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if it's just being set up by the young players or if the Spurs themselves are involved (I'm not sure they'd be allowed to do that). It can't be draft related because that surely wouldn't be allowed.
Back 15+ years ago the Spurs would have random mini-camps in the summer where current players would go up against random free agents trying to break into the league. It's how a few players like Udonis Haslem and Raja Bell were first discovered. IIRC, even Stephen Jackson played in one before the Spurs offered him a spot on their summer league team.

There is still no clarity on when the 2020-2021 NBA season will start, but the league has told teams to expect an eight-week advanced notice of a proposed opening night of the season, sources tell ESPN.

The NBA is still tenatively targeting a Nov. 18 draft, but that date could still move, sources tell ESPN. Plans continue to center around a virtual draft setting that would allow teams to have "war rooms" at their facilities, sources said.

The NBA has informed teams that, for the 2020-21 season, it prefer in-market compe ion with an amount of fans and reduced travel -- instead of current bubble structures. Details on the NBA’s current and future at @TheAthleticNBA: theathletic.com/2057813/2020/0…

Man the NBA needs to take a page from the NFL just set a damn date and stick to it stop changing your mind every two days.
I thought Luka wasn't going to be part of this since he was in Croatia but he posted on IG that he's on his way back to SA
Smart decision on his part..
giannis unfollowed bucks and teammates on IG. Interesting
Don't know what it means, but shows a definite lack of maturity on his part.

D’Antoni, whose contract expired with the end of the Western Conference semifinals on Saturday, turned down extension offers prior to the season.

ESPN Sources: Houston coach Mike D’Antoni is informing the franchise’s ownership today that he’s becoming a free agent and won’t return to the Rockets next season.
I read on realgm he had a meeting with Marc Lasry (Bucks co-owner)
https://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...uture-Of-Bucks
I guess he's not happy/on the market...
people on twitter were saying giannis unfollowed his teammates after last season too...
they were saying it was so he could get his mind off basketball ...
So hes gonna look for a new team to implement his unsuccessful system?
I read an actual article that said he did last year as well.
i can believe it... strange behavior though imo... too emotional...
wasnt sure, heard sth about it but cannot find any legit sources. Thats a really weird behavior. I wonder whats the purpose to unfollow any bucks connections every single season...
Sounds like Pacers are the front-runners. Guess he is tired of getting Dad- ed every year in the West.
He could go to The Knicks...oh wait
Just saw this gem on YouTube.. this clip is gold.. with Manu's interview, Pop's response, Baynes awaiting the reply and Timmy just cracking up lol.
-True, though I don't think DeMar is the right player to help change how Portland plays.
-Other west playoff teams may get worse but certainly not enough to make the Spurs able to challenge for a top 4 seed. Most team's weren't expected to have cap space, and many weren't expected to have access to the full MLE even before Covid.
-It definitely changes things and impacts the financial situation but don't think it will result in good teams getting significantly worse. They may not get better-- which is an issue, in and of itself, for teams who are trying to compete for a le though.
-Assuming the Spurs keep most of this team together, minus Forbes and Belinelli, they'll be good enough to compete for the playoffs-- possibly even without Aldridge, but definitely not a top 4 seed IMO. There's always the risk that Aldridge and/ or Gay declines-even DeMar. Were that the case, then this team could back in the same spot as they were for much of this season.
-I doubt they are willing to pay that cost, just to chase the playoffs-- or at least they shouldn't. I wouldn't get the reasoning tbh. I also have my doubts about LMA playing another 3 seasons, he may hold up pretty well but I don't think he's given indication that he plans to play that long and I don't even think he'll necessarily be a Spur for the rest of his career.
They should shop Aldridge and try and get the best possible return and then play out next season before proceeding with a rebuild/ heavy retooling.

Yeah right maybe 10 years ago we don’t need any more dinosaurs on this team.
