From Stein piece that was just published:
- BKN not interested in restricted free agents but rather in selling their 24 mil of remaining cap space. They even didn't have substantial conversations with their own restricted free agent Cam Thomas
- Sacramento is known to have interest in Kuminga, who sort of hopes to go to Chicago. Phoenix has expressed interest in SnT, but GSW not entusiastic about what they have to offfer. Kuminga is looking for at least 25 mil deal, even if short term. GSW not enthusiastic about this and is also looking for draft compensation in SnT
- Giddey and Chicago still far apart (Giddey looking for 30 per, Chicago more in the 20 per range and it seems to be a similar situation between Philly and Grimes
- market for restricted guys is tough, as no one has cap space (other than BKN, who is not interested)
