The Wizards aren’t expected to match a huge offer sheet for Bobby Portis, who has generated interest from multiple teams already

The Rockets are unlikely to carve out enough cap room to sign Butler outright, so a sign-and-trade is the most feasible option to bring the four-time All-Star to Texas.
Clint Capela and Eric Gordon would likely leave Houston in a potential sign-and-trade with a third team possibly getting involved due to Base Year Compensation rules

Multiple teams are interested in pairing Kawhi Leonard with Jimmy Butler, league sources told SNY's Ian Begley.
The suitors believe both Leonard and Butler would have interest in playing alongside each other, Begley added.
Both free agents are expected to command max deals on the market this offseason.
Leonard is reportedly seriously considering re-signing with the NBA champion Toronto Raptors, but has been widely linked to other clubs.
The New York Knicks are apparently expecting to meet with the two-time Finals MVP when free agency begins on June 30, while the Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly set to meet with Leonard on July 2. The Los Angeles Lakers can't be ruled out either, as LeBron James has reportedly "had contact" with both players.

I'm just waiting for the reaction from bulls Stan's when Derrick's running point for the King and heir apparent next year in LA. 😂 Guys, the NBA has NO chance to survive house Lakers!!! I expect the Bulls to do something like Darren Collison and Taj Gibson. I don't think many people are expecting a Rose return anymore and I'm fine with that. Bulls are targeting 2021 free agency where they can offer 2 max contracts alongside White, Lavine, Lauri, and WCJ. That's all fine, but we should have been more aggressive from the start. 2021 is a long time from now.

Plus these kids should be ready to take a step forward toward contention for the playoffs this year. They should trying to pay out now. Bulls are FAIL If I was ride I wouldn't be interested anymore anyway I'm not coming there to ride pine on a ishty bulls team. But man is the King gonna make the revived derricka look great or what? Gonna make him A CHAMPION!!!

The butler sign and trade to houston is intriguing but where do you ship these guys? Gordon to Indy and Capela to Boston? They won't have a problem moving PJ tucker but I'm struggling with capela. They might get hinged there.
I know I would squeeze their asses knowing how desperate they are. Sure, I'll take Capela but you gotta give ME a draft pick lol

Calhoun likes the sound of those reports.
"He would fit in perfectly," Calhoun told The Eagle-Tribune's Bill Burt of Walker potentially signing with Boston. "He’s not like Larry Bird, who sort of had a scowl on, and would kill you. Kemba is a happy guy and does it with a smile. To me he’s a smiling assassin."

Kanter's right..sort of
I think right now, Zion is very similar to Randle but with hops
BUT
Zion has the highest ceiling of anyone we've seen since Giannis, or maybe LeBron.

C'mon coach, sub out! Why you bringing Gianni's in this?? Highest ceiling since LeBron, period! Nobody really knew or believed Gianni's would be MVP just like the Spurs didn't know kawhi would be the next Jordan. They were hoping for eventual all Star quality. Zion is transcendent. People get caught in the highlights but that kid can PLAY, has a great feel for the game on both ends and a natural looking jumper. I happen to think this draft class is going to REALLY produce some studs down the line but Ja is like a passing Iverson with Westbrook/prime Rose savagery. RJ is like a young Kobe not scared of ANY moment and no matter how many shots he may have missed NO ONE COULD STOP HIM FROM CREATING THOSE SHOTS! That's an unteachable skill. Lots of other studs and hidden gems too. NBA getting fun again for real!

If the New York Knicks miss out on Kevin Durant, they apparently plan to target another Golden State Warriors free agent.
According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, the Knicks are "weighing the prospect of extending a considerable one-year offer" to veteran center DeMarcus Cousins.
Told y'all somebody will pay Boogie either as a consolation prize or as a ride along to a big FA

Could just agree to a deal with him and not have it officially signed until the 2 free agents do. My issue with the 2021 free agency is that while there are a lot of good names on there, you're probably going to pay two aging stars unless you get Giannis. Giannis isn't leaving at the moment. Lebron couldn't do ish with Rose in Cleveland. Him and Lebron are actually a poor fit and would be poor asset management by the Lakers if they signed him.

Told y'all somebody will pay Boogie either as a consolation prize or as a ride along to a big FA ONLY the snacks would throw him $30 million lol Why? Because, Dolan. I honestly believe the knocks had a legit shot for the first time in forever this summer and then Dolan happened. Kicking out and "gangsta" pressing paying fans for questioning you or saying your ishty band sucks at that moment just showed clearly that despite the public face they were putting on that nothing has or will change. Iggy is right nobody going there for real unless it's cash grabs. They gonna come out of this summer with cousins and Carmelo. Pathetic....

How the fak are you building as we'll have money in 3 years to complete our 10 year rebuild! FOH man garpax and that ownership are grade A BULLish! Always have been they just lucked into Jordan and pippen. Right now the bulls have TWO young guys with all Star aspirations this upcoming season (lavine and Lauri) They have an elite vet 2 way glue guy entering his prime (Otto) and one going into his second year (wcj) You have solid at minimum producers at of. You have cap space now WTF is this wait longer? Why wouldn't you be trying to win now when a big fish now might actually GET you there now?!? ish, they should be blowing Houston faking phone up for cp3 now that I think about it. You roll out: Cp3 Lavine Opj Lauri Wcj You're in BUSINESS right now!!!
