Portis agreeing to stay in Milwaukee. Shams reports

After NBA championship, Portis’ loyalty was with Milwaukee and he cherished the organization’s culture and winning environment. The MIL community embraced him. Portis passed on more money in favor of the Bucks last summer — and this year he stuck with happiness and stability.

Portis turned down potential deals from the Mavericks and Heat, sources said. After six NBA seasons, Portis has found a home -- and will play to repeat as a champion next season.

Acceptibo.

No way Sac does this trade without a 1st rounder involved.

If Fournier is still available he’s a perfect fit IMO

He is, as is Powell.

Free agent Alex Len has agreed to a two-year deal with the Sacramento Kings, his agency @SIGSports tells @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Why buddy because he can shoot 3’s? It a lot of money for a guy that does one thing. I’d rather spend on someone else. Plus I don’t think I’d want to come back to a team that traded me away. Bagley and Barnes would be interesting to me.

There's sentimental reasons for it, but he's also one of the greatest three point shooters in the history of NBA basketball and putting him on the court with Zion at the same time would be basically turning defenses into mashed potatoes

Free agent F Trevor Ariza has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agents Aaron Mintz, Steven Heumann and Erika Ruiz of @caa_sports tell ESPN.

Free agent guard Wayne Ellington Jr. has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers on a one-year deal, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells @YahooSports.

Everyone’s getting snatched up fast

It's gonna be Midnight Hour for David unless he got a trade being cooked up unless he really wants to give out bad contract to low ceiling role players.

Our FA relations must be in the toilet.

So DeRozan, Dinwiddie, Oladipo, Powell, and Rose are all still available. Pels need to make serious offers or they’ll be gone in the next 2 hours.

I am going to suppose. What if Pelican make no moves today? Or in the next three days? How does that shape your present view of team and take what you think the core of the team thinks.

Haha. Rose would be intriguing.

Griffin managed to get Valanciunas in a trade, granted that was through trade with a team and not directly negotiating with the player. But he has to be planning on get another good player in FA

It's this a good deal for Spurs or an overpay?

Atleast Gayle saving $35 milly, I suppose.

All that can't be guranteed.. hopefully

A complete overpay. This guy is fragile.

Massive overpay imo.

Collins is good-not-great when able to play, and he's barely ever able to play.

Looks fair compensation for what he should be worth as a young part time starter. Only turning 24 and will see numbers increase

If he ever plays.

Missed 16 games his rookie year, only played 11 games last year, had another ankle surgery just 5 days ago

You mentioned his name as an option. I guess that was considered an endorsement.

Free agent Evan Fournier has agreed to a four-year deal that could be worth as much as $78M with the New York Knicks, source tells ESPN.

Nope, just adding another name to the list of people who were still available.

If me listing someone was considered endorsement, I'd have been certain to point out that I do not want Rose.

Free agent Nicolas Batum has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 3, 2021

It's impossible to get guys in FA lol

Our best bet might be to take Dragic off the Raps and give Dipo a contract

I think one thing we have to realise is that we do have a roster.

Kira/Sato
NAW/Hart
BI/Naji
Zion/Murphy
JV/Jax

Yes, it would be nice if we could add something - and I certainly hope we can - but if the only option is a massive overpay then I'd rather just go into the season as is.

Like, for example, Powell is still available. I want to add Powell. But if Powell is demanding $25m a year for 4 years, I would rather just go into the season as it is.

Not that many as a rookie tbh. It’s a risk Spurs taking since he’s young, but the contract looks relatively cheap if Zach Collins plays most of the season

Free agent G Derrick Rose has agreed to a three-year, $43M deal to return to the New York Knicks, source tells ESPN.

or patty mills

There is irony in New Orleans. They sell at least 2 second round picks for money and the most valuable thing they get in the sign and trade is a 2nd round pick. LOL

I feel like whatever Devonte ends up getting will be in line with that 3yr $43m deal Rose got. $13-15m a year type thing.

Another reason why selling basically all of our second rounders is dumb - we don't attract FA

Rose gone. DeRozan, Oladipo, Dinwiddie, Powell, Fournier, and Schroeder left. Who’s the next star FA Guard signing that the Pels will miss out on?

Patty Mills is cool. Hasn't shot worse than 37% from 3 in 7 years, is a career 39% 3pt shooter and 86% from the line.
