From B/R’s Ken Berger: Nonetheless, another Western Conference executive said teams are “lining up to try to do something” in the event the Spurs decide to trade Leonard this summer. Through back channels, those teams have gotten the brush-off from the Spurs. “The Spurs want to try to make things work right now and aren’t [...]

If the Los Angeles Lakers want to open up two max-contract slots in free agency this summer, they’ll probably need to trade Jordan Clarkson. They can theoretically choose between keeping him and Julius Randle, but his defined cap hit, as a non-expiring contract (two years, $26 million after this one), makes him the more likely [...]

But they [...]

The Denver Nuggets really like Danilo Gallinari—enough, at least, to rebuff multiple trade overtures that have been made on his behalf. From Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer: With so much young talent, two highly valuable first-rounders in 2017, and future picks, the team is armed to make a push for a superstar if one becomes [...]
