Good update from Shams in The Athletic:
https://theathletic.com/2727488/202...playmaker-plus-more-nba-draft-and-trade-talk/
I highly recommend subscribing to The Athletic for their overall NBA coverage. As far as individual team coverage, they do a good job with the Hawks. They don't have a dedicated Spurs writer.
Lowry, DeRozan, Dinwiddie, Hield is an interesting list to a #3 to Lebron and AD. Curious to see where Dinwiddie ends up and how he does in his comeback.
Seems like Allen could go better than the Cavs. He'd be a very nice pick-up for the Raptors to allow them to do a quick rebuild and make the playoffs next year.
$15M+ seems like a lot for Will Barton. I guess they're working on a longer term deal in the 3 year, $36M range.
HOF Bledsoe has fallen off. He still has 2 years, $37.5M left on his deal.

Over the past year, Beal has made clear his hope to stay with the Wizards, but even larger has been his desire to win.
“My biggest thing is win now, you know?” Beal said before the start of the 2020-21 season. “I wanna win. I’m here under contract for this year, next year and a player option, too. So, it’s just a matter of, we gotta win. And the organization knows that.”
Beal has the ability to become a free agent next offseason due to a $36.4 million player option after the 2021-22 campaign. Beal is eligible for a four-year, $182 million extension this summer with the Wizards — or the 10-year veteran max extension next summer, totaling five years and $235 million.
— The Los Angeles Lakers are pursuing a third stellar player who provides playmaking and shot creation around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, sources said.
The Lakers are expected to show interest in several free agents such as Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Spencer Dinwiddie, according to sources, but another scenario has gained some traction.
The Lakers and Sacramento Kings have discussed a deal centered around guard Buddy Hield, sources tell The Athletic. Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma would be involved in a potential package, per sources. The Lakers have received interest from several teams regarding Kuzma, sources said.
Lowry, DeRozan, Dinwiddie, Hield is an interesting list to a #3 to Lebron and AD. Curious to see where Dinwiddie ends up and how he does in his comeback.
There’s mutual interest between center Jarrett Allen and the Cavaliers on a new deal, but the Toronto Raptors are expected to be among the strong suitors for the restricted free agent, according to sources. Toronto has attempted to trade for Allen in the past, sources said. The Nets traded Allen as part of the four-team blockbuster James Harden trade. In 51 games for the Cavaliers, Allen, 23, averaged 13.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.
Seems like Allen could go better than the Cavs. He'd be a very nice pick-up for the Raptors to allow them to do a quick rebuild and make the playoffs next year.
Guard Will Barton declined his $14.7 million player option recently to become an unrestricted free agent, but there’s tremendous interest between he and the Nuggets to reach a new deal once free agency open on Aug. 2. Barton has spent the past 6 1/2 years in Denver, establishing himself as a fabric of the franchise’s rise into a Western Conference contender.
$15M+ seems like a lot for Will Barton. I guess they're working on a longer term deal in the 3 year, $36M range.
The Grizzlies and Pelicans have discussed a trade that would send guard New Orleans’ Eric Bledsoe and the No. 10 pick to Memphis for No. 17, sources said. Memphis has explored moving up in the draft.
