I think you’re right on Charlotte wanting Brown. When can they trade Grayson and Royce? I know it's 30, 60 or 90 days maybe longer

This trade has not been completed yet, so they could just alter the trade to make it happen.

Kawhi is just plain bizarre. Gr8 player though.

The whole situation with his uncle is a huge red flag.

Seems like a Suns type of player this regime would like?

We have a cheaper and younger version with Goodwin.

Agree but I hear he is headed elsewhere. Maybe back to the Celtics?

He can’t shoot, bring him in!

 

[95pro]

Haha, this is what I meant, another guard shorterthan 6-6 and difficulty shooting.

Kind of odd since they have Dame and Jrue, plus Scoot.

So now they have Ja, Scoot, Holiday, and Dame. Seems like they've got another move lined up, possibly Brown.

Just in: San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie intends to sign a new three-year, $45 million contract with the franchise through 2028-29, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs declined Champagnie’s $3 million team option to give him a new deal. Waived three years ago, Champagnie has become a vital part of the Spurs core.

Free agency hasn't started yet. It starts tomorrow at 3pm PST. Right now only players can agree to resign with their own teams.
