- Kessler is presumed to be Lakers' top option
- Warriors are believed to have lined up an additional "move or two" to create financial flexibility if LeBron James wants to go to Golden State
- Quinten Post has interest from a few teams as an RFA
- Rockets have tried to offload Dorian Finney-Smith
- Spurs are only willing to offer 2-year deals to various FAs
- Pistons are looking for frontcourt help

@LakersLead this is true

[MR. C aka Los Lukas @mrcmon]

nothing official coming out of @Lakers camp?

[MR. C aka Los Lukas @mrcmon]

Matisse Thybulle would be a great pick up for the @Lakers at a smaller contract

[MR. C aka Los Lukas @mrcmon]

as a long time @Lakers fan, I am fine with the team blowing everything up and starting with keeping Luka, AR and the rookie Cam, and Adou. Trade everybody else to build the team around Luka and AR!

[MR. C aka Los Lukas @mrcmon]

I definitely appreciate Lebron for his 8 years as a Laker. thank you LBJ!

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

Thank you, LeBron 💜💛

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

I want to thank LeBron James and his super agent Rich Paul for taking a meeting with me back in 2018 when I was President of the Lakers and deciding to sign with us. He created a whole new era for the Lakers, including leading us to an NBA Championship in 2020 and all the milestones he surpassed in a Lakers jersey. I’ll always love and be grateful for him and wish him all the best in the next phase of his life, on and off the court!

[Dave McMenamin @mcten]

Luka Doncic’s reaction to LeBron James moving on: “An honor to play with and learn from you”

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.7 million player option to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4.

[MR. C aka Los Lukas @mrcmon]

but on a positive note, if Pelinka misses again this free agency then pretty sure that he will be gone before end of the year.
