It was great the Suns were not on the list. I'm guessing when Sarver owned the team we were on that list towards the end.

I'm glad he's willing to accept the minimum from El Cheapo. At least it could be a stepping stone for him.

The Lakers are zeroing in on Herb Jones as a trade target this summer.

After making a push for Jones around the trade deadline, Los Angeles will once again inquire with the Pelicans.

A package centered around Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht and draft capital is a salary match.

Chet Holmgren's extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder did NOT include All-NBA escalators. So, Holmgren's contract will stay at 25% of the cap, despite him being named to the All-NBA Third Team.Holmgren's extension projects to be $239.3M over five years.

And won a championship with only one team, twice with the Warriors.

It was great the Suns were not on the list. I'm guessing when Sarver owned the team we were on that list towards the end.

Maybe the early years but we had CP3 and KD both requesting to be traded here. So Sarver's final years weren't bad, largely thanks to Book.

I get the reaction but I think he deserves to be there. Clearly they are being coached up to behave this way, hard to fault the player for cheap shots if the coaching staff is teaching it.

Hope Coach Diganault don't make coy then.
