@ShamsCharania: Sources: Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James has declined his $35.6M player option for 2018-19 and will enter free agency.
@daldridgetnt: James’s decision to opt out makes a potential trade with the Rockets less likely. It helps the Lakers, who would like to use their existing assets to make a Kawhi Leonard trade, and use their cap space to make James a max contract offer.

All according to Stephen A. Smith and his sources...so...probably didn't happen. But I also wouldn't be surprised with Gilbert.

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
DeAndre Jordan update: One source with knowledge of the Clippers’ thinking says they are NOT opposed to the idea of taking back Wes Matthews in a Jordan trade, which does keep some hope alive for an opt-in-and-trade scenario

LaVar Ball power play...
@ShamsCharania: Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball has a torn meniscus in his left knee, league sources tell Yahoo. Ball is expected to be ready for training camp next season.

@ShamsCharania: Sources: Portland will not extend a qualifying offer to guard Shabazz Napier, allowing him to enter July 1 as an unrestricted free agent. Napier had a strong season as a reserve guard for the Trail Blazers.

@TheSteinLine Mavs and Pelicans are among teams interested in Napier to bolster their depth at the guard positions.

We're so deep we're going to be sending Jalen Brunson back to Villanova for one more year.

"Eight-time All-Star center Dwight Howard, who has yet to complete an expected buyout with Brooklyn, has serious interest in joining the Warriors. But there remains skepticism within the Warriors’ walls about whether he would be a good fit, with Howard also known to be interested in joining LeBron James (wherever he winds up), New Orleans and Washington."

Yeah George is back to OKC on a 1+1 or 2+1 to get supermax in two years. He is at this party...
So Lakers Bron + Kawhi trade + Cousins/Jordan/re-signed Randle...

@SeanDeveney: Favors and the Jazz will meet soon after the midnight start of free agency, a sign that they're likely to come to a deal, probably a short-term contract.

@BobbyMarks42: The max salary for LeBron James to stay in Cleveland is $206.79M over 5 years. Signing with a new team is 4-years $153.3M.

Don’t know why they list those. LeBron is doing either 1 year or 1+1

@TheSteinLine: Durant is expected to be one of the first deals struck when the NBA's free-agent marketplace opens Sunday at 12:01 a.m. ET. Warriors GM Bob Myers has said repeatedly since Golden State's second consecutive title that Durant will get "whatever he wants" contract-wise
@TheSteinLine: The new deal would pay Durant $30.5 million next season and allow the two-time reigning Finals MVP to return to free agency in July 2019 -- three months before Golden State moves into the new Chase Center in San Francisco

@KevinOConnorNBA: DeMarcus Cousins sounds like an increasingly likely target for the Lakers on a short-term max contract now that it appears Los Angeles will lose out on Paul George, per league sources. In January 2017, LeBron James called Cousins "the best big man in our game."

Damn Cousins lucked out. That could've gone a very different direction.

@wojespn: Oklahoma City forward Jerami Grant has agreed to a three-year, $27M contract to return to the Thunder, league sources told ESPN.
@BobbyMarks42: With Paul George and Jerami Grant on board, Oklahoma City now has a payroll of $156M with 11 players under contract. Because of the repeater tax penalty, the Thunder currently have a tax bill of $130M. The tax bill would be the largest in NBA history.
@NickVanExit: Their tax bill is going to be $24mil more than the entire payroll of the team that beat them in the First Round of the playoffs

Wow and I thought we might have a shot at Jerami Grant in a value contract back a few months ago! I wonder if they have a way or place to dump Melo? Someone would have to be in love with Terrence Ferguson and a late 1st

Nobody can absorb Melo, and stretching him would haunt OKC for years... Better just to take their medicine and get it over with.
