???? The bridge seems definitely broken between the Suns and Deandre Ayton. The Spurs would be in pole position to sign the pivot this weekend.
To see if Phoenix will match any contract (sign and trade), but the union between the Suns and the pivot will not go further. pic.twitter.com/gbblUG9L8m

???? Extending RJ Barrett is the Knicks’ priority internally this summer, the battle is now on the price.
While some are issuing the option of a John Collins-style contract (125 million over 5 years), others are murmuring about a possible max contract given the Canadian’s enormous potential. pic.twitter.com/xJYEBdjJN0

???? Several executives expect Jalen Brunson to the Knicks to be the first-ever Free Agency 2022 signing.

???? With the transfer of Nerlens Noel this Tuesday evening, extending Mitchell Robinson has become a priority again.

The place is free for Mitch at the Knicks. pic.twitter.com/KMwu5zAp8D

???? While they seemed in the perfect position to send a max contract on Deandre Ayton or Miles Bridges, the Pistons decided to make some slight adjustments instead.

???? Marvin Bagley’s extension will be one of the last priority moves made by the Pistons this summer.
A good half season in Michigan, which could allow him to receive between 18 and 21 million dollars over 2 years, if not 25 to 30 million over 3 years. pic.twitter.com/tOs2qKd518

???? Several executives expect Daryl Morey to find a way to sign PJ Tucker this weekend.
Price: 30 million dollars, 3 years.

???? The Nets and Nic Claxton could find common ground and extend quickly.
The pivot, who was in transfer rumors at the last deadline, could fulfill a fundamental role without costing Brooklyn too much.

???? The Warriors expressed to Andre Iguodala their wish to see him return to Golden State.

Answer to come this weekend. pic.twitter.com/V9S4BwGoC0

???? With the Pistons and Pacers pretty much out of the equation, the Cavs could find some common ground with Collin Sexton.
The leader wanted to touch 20 million the season, but the market will probably not offer it.
16-18 million per season and it starts again? pic.twitter.com/JpJaVx6pNU

???? The Cavs are still interested in bringing Ricky Rubio back to their roster next season.

That’s the extension Karl-Anthony Towns is eligible for, and that’s likely to be offered by Wolves’ new boss Tim Connelly this summer.

???? Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic, it should logically extend to Portland with a first rate coming out of the offices.
80 million over 4 years (or 100 over 5) for Simons, friendly price to see for Nurkic.
Jerami Grant recovered and Josh Hart retained, expenses are made. pic.twitter.com/hEAtjGYBap

???? A little calm on the rumors in Utah? The arrival of Will Hardy as a coach raises the question of the workforce that has been promised to him.
The Jazz continue to listen to offers (Gobert), but the mere presence of a new coach and a few more wingers could be enough. pic.twitter.com/NlwfneoiuP
