The Wolves are engaged in trade talks for Russell Westbrook - per league source.
Minnesota has made it clear to Oklahoma City management they can clear enough cap space to work a deal for Westbrook, immediately.

He's not gonna like it but I think minny might fast track to him before other teams get a chance to put their offers together etc.

The current host of SC with Jay and Dan on Canada's TSN and former host of FS1's Fox Sports Live, pulled no punches on the most recent edition The Jay and Dan Podcast when it came to calliing out NBA "insiders" for providing a steady stream of bad information. Onrait called out Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman and daytime hot take shows, but he saved his biggest daggers for former FOX colleague, Chris Broussard.
Broussard famously tweeted that the Clippers were out of the Kawhi Leonard running and that the superstard wanted to sign with the Lakers two days before Leonard joined the Clippers. This led to Onrait calling Broussard, "the biggest f-cking fraud in the history of sports media, ever," on his podcast.

Nothing about this could be done until the new CBA Owners may say non-guaranteed contracts, which the players assoc. would probably never agree to. But it would give the owners(sorry, ahem, governors) leverage in saying that if a player refuses to play after demanding a trade, then we won't pay him. Players would like your option better. One of the best alternatives, a player has to waive a no-trade clause altogether if he demands a trade and can't pick and choose where to go. Also, what if teams could go over the cap(or further over the cap) to trade for a player? No team in their right mind is going to allow a trape to happen to them, right? I.e, if OKC trades Westbrook to GSW, OKC would want a legit haul in return. Let's say GSW gave OKC all their picks, Jordan Poole, and Russell to OKC and somehow those salaries aren't even close to matching because Russ makes a butt ton of money. The league would still have to approve trades. I know that sounds ridiculous, but what is everyone's thoughts on that. This is obviously super unlikely, but I think it's an inderdasting idea. Non guarantees would never fly, nor do I like the idea. Oh Steph Curry wants to join the Heat? Yep let me just waive these two guys with no penalty and I'll have room for you immediately. For the last part about Curry, what I'm saying is that what if teams were allowed to trade players regardless of the salary cap? The cap would essentially not exist when it comes to trades. Roster limits would. Cap would exist when signing FA's It's a stupid idea really lol

Well league approval would still need to happen for every trade. Also, a GM in their right mind wouldn't trade a star without getting a huge haul back to make the trade fair.

In soccer (well not MLS because they follow their Americanized rules), there is something called a loyalty bonus in a contract. If you fulfill the entirety of the contract you sign, you get awarded that bonus. When a player hands in a transfer request, he is forgoing his loyalty bonus. Maybe something like X percentage of your salary is a loyalty bonus. This bonus does not count against the cap and is awarded at the end of every fulfilled contract. If player X gets traded because the team opted to go in a different direction, the team can still choose to award that bonus in good faith How would this have a different impact than the Super-Max? Super-max counts against your cap

The NBA has passed the implementation of in-game challenge flags for head coaches next season.
Per Reynolds (via NBA.com), each coach will get one challenge per game and can contest "a personal foul charged to their team, a called out-of-bounds violation, a goaltending violation or a basket-interference violation."
"As with other replay reviews, in order to overturn the event as called on the floor, there must be clear and conclusive visual evidence that the call was incorrect," NBA Basketball Operations President Byron Spruell told teams in a memo, per Reynolds.

I love this. Will go a long way to helping the end of close games get called correctly and fairly.
