The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are the latest teams to monitor in the Nickeil Alexander-Walker market, per @JonKrawczynski
“The Wolves do have a few young guards and wings, including Terrence Shannon Jr., Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham, who the team believes are ready to step in and take Alexander-Walker’s minutes should he move on. The Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat are among a number of teams to watch in the hunt for Alexander-Walker.”

The Clippers and Suns are reportedly considering a reunion with Chris Paul, per @TheSteinLine
“The Los Angeles Clippers, in addition to Phoenix, are another of Paul's former teams that is said to be weighing a second engagement with the 12-time NBA All-Star, who turned 40 in May. Paul's family stayed in Los Angeles this season while Dad played in South Texas.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly wanted the Suns to attach assets to Kevin Durant in a potential Darius Garland trade, per @WindhorstESPN
“The Suns, from what I'm told, reached out and had interest in Garland. It was not the Cavs who wanted to trade Garland. The Cavs said the only way they would ever consider this would be if the Suns sent Kevin Durant plus other assets. And the Suns didn't hang up the phone. I'll just point out that the Suns own the Cavs 2029 first round pick because they got it from the Jazz last year. And getting back your own picks in the distant future is somewhat attractive.”
