OT: "[Stein] League sources say that numerous teams are operating under the belief that the Sacramento Kings have the best chance to sign Dennis Schröder away from the Detroit Pistons, while the Dallas Mavericks are increasingly regarded as the favorites to sign D'Angelo Russell."

>>>Naz Reid's raise makes keeping both Julius Randle and Nickeil Alexander-Walker costly without reducing payroll.

For example, Randle opting in and Alexander-Walker re-signing for $14.1 million (mid-level) puts the Wolves over the second apron and increases tax by $65 million.<<<

Bol Bol is reportedly not being re-signed by the Suns. He'll be a UFA.

He can score, but his defense is bad.

Have any of the Dubs' Aussie picks excelled above expectations yet?

Wait, so we can't take back more salary than we send out, or does he mean that would apply once we used the TPMLE?

NBA EXHIBIT 10/TWO-WAY SIGNEES AND/OR SUMMER LEAGUE INVITES (NOT INCLUDING INCUMBENT PLAYERS OR 2025 DRAFT PICKS) BIG TRACKER THINGY reports that the Warriors have invited these players to play in Summer League:

Coleman Hawkins (SL)

Alex Higgins-Titsha (SL)

Bez Mbeng (SL)

Chris Manon (SL)

The bottom two are new additions.

6'7" Alex Higgins-Titsha is a 24 year old Aussie: https://www.taipans.com/player/3713/2277966/alex-higgins-titsha

6'4" Yale Bulldog Bez Mbeng is the three-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4898237/bez-mbeng

6'5" Chris Manon transferred to Vanderbilt after playing his first 3 seasons at Cornell (first in the NCAA in steal percentage in 2022-23), but proved he could succeed in the big boy SEC last season with a Box Plus/Minus of 10.4: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/chris-manon-1.html

I haven't posted in a while but I have been lurking diligently, so allow me to thank you, Eric, and all the contributors for your coverage of everything this off season. My draft understanding is nil and I'm not even going to pretend to know how it works. I'm only here to support Dub Nation for whatever that's worth.

As always, I appreciate everyone who entertained me with their posts.

I guess Beef Stew is off the table now, but what about JK for Duren (and Simone Fontecchio for salary)?

Edit: "[Charania] Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves' Naz Reid intends to sign a new five-year, $125 million contract to stay with the franchise, including a player option, sources tell ESPN. Critical agreement between the Wolves and Reid's agents, Sean Kennedy and Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports." [not that we were going to get Naz, but it sets a pay scale for his type of player]

Also if Naz Reid is only getting 25 million a year, I think Kuminga is coming back.

>>>The Philadelphia 76ers intend to sign F Justin Edwards to a new three-year contract after declining his team option, sources tell ESPN. 76ers and Klutch Sports' Rich Paul and Josh Hairston negotiated the new deal for Edwards, who averaged 10.1 points and 26 minutes last season. <<<

A couple of important notes:

"...I’ll remember this treachery, “Mike”, if that is indeed your real name...." is classic Apricot. LOL. Thanks, Eric.

Toohey is the name of an Australian Brewing company. I tried to find out if Alex is related to the family (and he may be) but seems that he comes from a prominent military family.

Be honest now. What you're really saying about APRIBOT is that in time we will come to regard her not only with respect and awe, but with love.

Did you ever see her, where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with his A.I. o/s. I’m already there with Apribot. The heavy breathing (or perhaps it’s just typical pug snorky breathing) turns any floppy disc into a hard drive…and she goes it without the benefit of Scarlet Johansson’s voice.

Been on vacation and will be in the land of stroopwaffle tomorrow!

I'll have one in Post honor tomorrow and be sure to send each and every one of you one. Just need your social security, address, visa.... Whatever else needed to run a scam 😂

Currently in Paris and had to resist saying nuit nuit a few times. I'll say it as my farewell to France.

Tomorrow. I'm in Paris right now and Amsterdam is where I finish my trip. Only been to Europe once so it's been great to see.

I'm so sore from walking around endlessly everyday I'm ready for this trip to be over after Amsterdam 😂

Vegas Summer League schedule is out, Warriors are playing the Blazers (Hansen), Jazz (Bailey...?, Clayton), Grizzlies, and Raptors (CMB). Also playing the Lakers/Kings/Heat in the California Classic I believe.

I hope everyone is healthy and available. Considering Post’s stride she made during the season, it’s a shame he missed some of the offseason games last year.

Maybe already posted, but Dunleavy says we tried to trade into "the middle of the 1st round" "for one guy" but couldn't find a deal

We all assume this was Walter Clayton, right? Dunleavy mentioned it was a guy they thought could contribute next season.

I would guess one of

Carter Bryant

Nique Clifford

Walter Clayton

There’s a hint that the player “kept falling”. TK thinks it’s a guard.

If it is the kid Miami got (Jakucionis, who does seem like a Warrior type) I wonder if there’s a way to pry him in a Kuminga deal.

Unbelievable talent coming out of high school and possessed almost every physical skill you could ask for in a star wing. It all went downhill once he arrived at Duke

Maybe he just peaked in high school because he never had the drive to be all that he could be?
