Jazz big man Derrick Favors remains under contract in Utah, but because his situation remains in flux due to his non-guaranteed contract, he’ll be permitted to take calls from interested teams during the free agent period, agent Wallace Prather tells Shams Charania of The Athletic. If the Jazz decide not to guarantee Favors’ $17.65MM salary for 2019/20, he’d be waived by July 6 and could join a new club.

The Timberwolves reached out to the Nets to see whether Brooklyn might be interested in Andrew Wiggins in a potential sign-and-trade for RFA-to-be D’Angelo Russell. Predictably, the Nets had no interest in taking on Wiggins’ contract.

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 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.... Oh it may well be a cash grab but the Nix can't NOT spend that money. And yes, Dolan will always be the reason nobody wants to sign there. He's the new Donald Sterling. The league can't do ish cuz he's so entrenched in NY sports.

The Lakers are expected to make a run at signing Nets center Ed Davis, per multiple reports.
The Knicks are interested in signing Vince Carter.
If Kemba Walker leaves the Hornets, expect Charlotte to make a run at signing Celtics restricted free agent Terry Rozier, per source.
The Knicks, Jazz and Lakers all have interest in pursuing Portis in free agency.

WCJ won't be up for extension and Lauri's cap hold allows them to sign 2 max players. 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. No, no, NO! 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!!! Trading for CP3 keeps you stuck until 2022. No way I trade for him. The Bulls could have wiggled their way to 2 max contracts for this summer, but the acquisition of Otto Porter Jr. ended that. They say they wouldn't have been able to attract free agents and fine, that's true, but that's their own making. The mistake started with the Butler trade. They should have destroyed everything around him and just tanked with him on the roster for a year or two. Now they'd have Butler + max cap space + 2 rookies. That, or you trade Butler for a bunch of draft picks and future draft picks. The Bulls acquired two ready talents and a draft pick for that same year(while also trade their pick from that same year). The Bulls obtained no future assets after that. That's one reason I was advocating for the Bulls to trade for Anthony Davis. Whether he leaves or not doesn't matter, you need to be aggressive when a star becomes available. Lauri + Portis + Top 1 protected 1st + Dunn + future 1st(s) at the deadline or OPJ(traded to 3rd team, assets moved to Pelicans. Let's say a late 1st is obtained), Lauri, #7, Dunn, future first(s) for Davis. Max contract for Kyrie or Kemba. PG-Irving SG-Lavine/Valentine SF-Hutchinson/Valentine PF-Davis C- WCJ Sign a bunch of ring chasers to fill the bench and get someone like Taj on the room MLE to be the third big. Then come 2020 you dare Davis to leave the extra money for the Lakers and an even older Lebron. But they didn't have the balls to try to pull something like that off.

Woj bomb. I’m loving it If we can get capala and walker. Watch out bishes I must admit a lineup with those 2, smart, brown and Tatum is extremely OUCH. I just can't picture kemba in Boston. There's no logical scenario in my mind where Dallas doesn't make more sense for him. Plus the helping the Celtics as ny kid. Really, going back to the ne to live in that blizzard after being in Charlotte all these years is a non starter unless he's playing IN ny. This is media smoke by Danny probably lol They should still go at capela for sure and go all in on Beal

Phil, stop. Deal with RIGHT NOW not the past or future.
The bulls should be going all in for a top flight free agent guard or wing and rock solid big man. Doesn't matter who it is.
Perfect example though why not be in the market to bring Jimmy back like LeBron came back? Or even trade for Beal? There bulls just faking suck I can't understand how y'all stay down for them tricks lol

Klay Thompson could speak to the Clippers if talks with Golden State break down, the Warriors and Thompson’s camp expect a quick agreement if the team puts a five-year, maximum-salary offer on the table.
After Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer named the Clippers as a possible suitor for Tobias Harris, Charania says the same thing, noting that the two sides still have a good relationship. Charania also adds the Pelicans – who now have significant cap room – to the list of teams expected to express interest in Harris.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who didn’t receive a qualifying offer from Brooklyn, is expected to draw interest from the Suns, Timberwolves, and Rockets as an unrestricted free agent

The right now is wait for 2021. Or wait for 2020 if OPJ opts out but that FA market is weak. So yeah, the right now has nothing now. We have Lavine, don’t want to experiment him with Lavine. This is nothing new from me though. Just recently you were praising how great of a position the Bulls were in, funny how you flip Flop again.

Showtime, or whoever else may follow baseball even a little bit
The only opinions I get on my Rangers are other Rangers fans so I need an unbiased opinion.
Is Joey Gallo worth a big contract? His contract ends this year. He's 25, HUGE power, and he's not seeing a lot more pitches and walking more. Making a serious push for an ASG spot this year, but I think he's gonna just miss the cut.

Lebron, AD, Kuzma and Kemba/Kyrie are gonna be good but how the hell are they gonna fill out that roster? They aren’t gonna have any depth which should be a priority since Davis misses random games constantly and lebron is starting to look mortal with age.

Vet minimum like at least $5 like million now plus we don't NEED stars that cost money we need role players who cost, like, minimum money.
It's not our fault GM in the league don't know how to dole out contacts and screw up pricing.
It literally doesn't even matter you only need warm bodies!!!

Dudes like Terrence Ross are getting $10-12mil. THEY literally just traded three minimum salary warm bodies to make cap room. I dunno enough about the salary cap to know what THEY will have left after theoretically signing a third max guy but filling out the bench with dudes like Ron Baker, Jakarr Sampson, or Jimmer Fredette (just three random guys I pulled from a list of minimum salary players) doesn’t sound like a championship

The Hornets are shopping Nicolas Batum around the league, per league source.
Finding a trade partner is super slim - Batum is owed $25.5M next season and has a $27M player option in 2021.

I woulda guessed he was too old.
