“There hasn't been traction on extension conversations with Thybulle, sources said. Most extension dialogues don't begin in earnest until summer approaches fall.”Also mentioned: “The Suns' accounting has gotten quite expensive, and league personnel still categorize Jae Crowder and Dario Saric as trade candidates entering this season to clear necessary wiggle room on Phoenix's books.” Dario Saric didn’t play last season due to an injury. The versatile big man notably played a key role in the Suns’ championship series against the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2020-21 season. Phoenix, however, could be looking to give Cam Johnson more opportunities, making Saric a luxury.
The Warriors reportedly have not made “serious overtures” to try to trade for Kevin Durant Several days ago, reports surfaced that Steph Curry called Durant regarding a possible reunion in San Francisco. If those were true, the current NBA Finals MVP may just be checking the pulse of the situation as the front office doesn’t seem all that keen on a blockbuster trade. With the way things are going, it’s looking more and more likely that Durant's NBA career will continue at Barclays Center next season.
Jokic on JaMychal Green (Jan 2021): “I'd like to play with him for the rest of my life. His effort, his energy, his toughness. You don't want to play bad when you're with him on the court because the guy's amazing. He's a great player.”Good enough for Jokic, good enough for me.Jokic on JaMychal Green (Jan 2021): “I'd like to play with him for the rest of my life. His effort, his energy, his toughness. You don't want to play bad when you're with him on the court because the guy's amazing. He's a great player.” Incredible co-sign for the latest roster addition in JaMychal Green. Feels like he may be one of those guys that we all look back at next year and praise Bob Myers for finding yet another offseason gem. But in the sevens seasons before last campaign’s slump, Green was a solid threat from long-range. He averaged 38.5% from rainbow distance and 46.9% overall. If he can regain his shooting touch playing alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors will be even more difficult to defend.
The Celtics are reportedly going to use Robert Williams' 4-year, $48 million extension as a benchmark for Grant Williams' new deal. Robert Williams III is the Boston Celtics’ starting center who signed an extension last season for $48 million over four years. He played a huge role for the Celtics last season, particularly in the NBA Finals when the Warriors had serious trouble scoring inside the paint. He could very well be a constant threat to win the Defensive Player of the Year award in the future. Brad Stevens talks exclusively with about the possibility of contract extensions for Jaylen Brown and Grant WilliamsBrad Stevens talks exclusively with about the possibility of contract extensions for Jaylen Brown and Grant Williams Grant Williams, on the other hand, was Boston’s most efficient long-range threat last season. He was also a key piece of the Celtics’ top-ranked defense due to his strength and versatility. If the Celtics value Robert Williams, which they will most likely do, they may be hesitant to give Grant a more lucrative NBA contract. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!

New rumors have surfaced that the were never seriously considering trading for forward . A few weeks ago, the Warriors looked like solid contenders to reunite KD with his old buddies in San Francisco. Here are the latest rumors from around the NBA as of July 20, 2022:The New York Knicks could acquire Donovan Mitchell without giving up RJ Barrett
The New York Knicks are positive they can get Donovan Mitchell [left] while still keeping RJ Barrett [right]. [Photo: New York Post] RJ Barrett was arguably the New York Knicks’ best player last season. He showed tremendous improvement on both ends of the floor, which would make the Knicks hesitant to move their emerging star. New York is reportedly the leading candidate to land Utah Jazz NBA All-Star Donovan Mitchell. However, trading for Mitchell and giving Barrett away as part of the trade could still put the Knicks outside the playoff picture. The Eastern Conference is stacked and even having Barrett, Mitchell and Jalen Brunson together may not push them past the play-in tournament. Jake Fischer that the Knicks could have all three in their lineup next season: “Knicks personnel have projected confidence, sources said, that they will ultimately be able to land Mitchell without sacrificing Barrett. Likewise, league sources have indicated that Utah isn't enamored by becoming the franchise that coughs up a sizable extension to Barrett.” The Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell trade sweepstakes are looming over RJ Barrett and Tyler Herro’s extension conversations. What about the other 2019 first-round picks still on the board for a new deal?

The Phoenix Suns could offload a few veterans with expiring contracts. [Photo: Sports360AZ] If the Phoenix Suns wanted to keep Deandre Ayton all along, despite the offseason posturing, they also figured a few trades had to happen. Phoenix matched the Indiana Pacers’ three-year, $133 million offer to Ayton, which puts them deep into the NBA luxury tax. They could be looking for some relief by trading two veterans who are both on expiring contracts. ’s Jake Fischer weighed in on a possible move by the Suns: “The Suns' accounting has gotten quite expensive, and league personnel still categorize Jae Crowder and Dario Saric as trade candidates entering this season to clear necessary wiggle room on Phoenix's books.” Losing Crowder would hurt as he is a veteran who gives reigning NBA Coach of the Year winner Monty Williams a feisty defensive enforcer and leader. They may have to choose a cheaper option on that end. Also mentioned: “The Suns' accounting has gotten quite expensive, and league personnel still categorize Jae Crowder and Dario Saric as trade candidates entering this season to clear necessary wiggle room on Phoenix's books.” “There hasn't been traction on extension conversations with Thybulle, sources said.

The Golden State Warriors merely did their due diligence on a potential Kevin Durant trade
The Golden State Warriors reportedly only had a minor interest in former NBA MVP Kevin Durant. [Photo: SFGATE] Golden State Warriors team owner Joe Lacob doesn’t want his team to fall off a cliff after three or four good years. That may be the case if they trade for Kevin Durant as the Bay Area team could lose a significant chunk of their future. Acquiring KD would likely mean giving up Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and future first-round picks. Fans of the Warriors, who vehemently voiced their opposition to the idea, should be relieved based on . Fischer reported: “Despite the apparent openness—both from Warriors veterans and Durant himself—regarding a superstar reunion in the Bay, Golden State has not been categorized as a team that's made serious overtures to pry Durant from Barclays Center.” The Warriors reportedly have not made “serious overtures” to try to trade for Kevin DurantThe Warriors reportedly have not made “serious overtures” to try to trade for Kevin Durant Several days ago, reports surfaced that Steph Curry called Durant regarding a possible reunion in San Francisco.

JaMychal Green is looking to join the Golden State Warriors once a buyout is agreed with the OKC Thunder
JaMychal Green is reportedly going to play for the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors next season. [Photo: NBA.com] After the Denver Nuggets traded JaMychal Green during the NBA draft to the OKC Thunder, he could join the defending champs after a contract buyout. The veteran forward played a crucial role coming off the bench last season for Nuggets head coach Mike Malone. Senior ESPN writer Adrian Wojnarowski had the scoop on Green’s intention to join the Golden State Warriors: “Veteran forward JaMychal Green is working toward a contract buyout with Oklahoma City, and once that’s completed and he’s cleared waivers, Green intends to sign with Golden State, sources tell ESPN.” Veteran forward JaMychal Green is working toward a contract buyout with Oklahoma City, and once that’s completed and he’s cleared waivers, Green intends to sign with Golden State, sources tell ESPN.Veteran forward JaMychal Green is working toward a contract buyout with Oklahoma City, and once that’s completed and he’s cleared waivers, Green intends to sign with Golden State, sources tell ESPN. Green’s addition will give the Warriors more athleticism, size and skill from the forward spot. He could take the place of Otto Porter Jr., who went to the Toronto Raptors. The 31-year-old had his worst shooting from beyond the arc last season for the Nuggets, averaging only 26.6%. Incredible co-sign for the latest roster addition in JaMychal Green. Feels like he may be one of those guys that we all look back at next year and praise Bob Myers for finding yet another offseason gem.

The Boston Celtics may not be able to give Grant Williams the extension he is looking for
Grant Williams played a big part in the Boston Celtics run to the NBA Finals. [Photo: Hoops Habit] Grant Williams’ contract with the Boston Celtics runs through the 2023-24 NBA season before becoming a restricted free agent. However, the 23-year-old is already eligible for an extension. Based on Jake Fischer’s on how contract negotiations could go, the emerging shooter could get lower than what he expects to earn: “Boston found a value deal with Robert Williams III just last August, extending the Celtics' starting center for four years, $48 million plus incentives." "Cap experts contacted by B/R projected that that salary range can set a benchmark for Grant Williams' negotiations, but rival executives are skeptical that Boston will be willing to spend much greater a dollar amount on Grant than for Robert.” The Celtics are reportedly going to use Robert Williams' 4-year, $48 million extension as a benchmark for Grant Williams' new deal.The Celtics are reportedly going to use Robert Williams' 4-year, $48 million extension as a benchmark for Grant Williams' new deal.
