Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
$30.8 million for 2 years from the graphic below with the NTMLE
Tom Petrini (@ RealTomPetrini):
Two-year NTMLE is the biggest asset the Spurs have to use in free agency
Targets mentioned here are Rui Hachimura, John Collins and Tobias Harris
Marc Stein (@ TheSteinLine):
Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs and more.
The marquee restricted free agents and lots of LeBron.
And more.

A quiet opening day of free agency negotiations.
I went through the latest report about the Spurs offering 2-years deals, where the Spurs’ cap sheet stands with 26-27 cap figures, & an early look at Spurs’ NBA Cup group.
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Collins, Wade have agreed to deals with other teams.
That leaves Rui and Tobias Harris as free agents still available who were linked to the Spurs prior to free agency.
Mamu is still out there, but he may join LAL per Stein Line
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Regarding Rui, the Nets also have interest in him and can offer more than the NTMLE with cap space able to be opened.
Chris Walder (@ WalderSports):
I’m at Disneyland Paris with my wife.
I put my massive Spurs hat on her, and a guy behind me in line says “You probably don’t want to be wearing that anyway.”
I turn around, and it’s a guy decked out in Knicks gear wearing an O.G. Anunoby jersey.
I congratulated him.
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Looks like Room MLE if Nets are opening cap space.

How about Rui and LeBron? Would that convince Spurs fans that it all makes sense? 
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
That still leaves Rui and Tobias unsigned among players the Spurs were interested in prior to free agency.
Wade 4 year deal with PHI (part of NTMLE)
Collins 3 year deal with DET (S&T likely)
Mamu 4 year deal with LAL (cap space)

Looks like Room MLE for Sexton
Sam Quinn (@ SamQuinnCBS):
I think the Lakers went all in on a roster that’s destined to lose to the Thunder and/or Spurs. They just don’t have the capacity to get the wings they’ll need now.
Luka’s best chance at a title, imo, is returning to Dallas in 2028 and rolling with Cooper Flagg. Pretty easily.
Tom Petrini (@ RealTomPetrini):
Been waiting to hear a big name connect LeBron and the Spurs, even as a logical fit outside of any mutual interest.
Just saw Marc Spears on SportsCenter say that if winning a title is important, San Antonio gives him a great chance and a clear fit
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Early look at the Pistons with John Collins
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Early look at the Rockets with Marcus Smart
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
The Bulls with Norman Powell
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
The Sixers with Dean Wade and Ariel Hukporti
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Even though most deals can’t be completed until July 6, veteran minimum, rookie scale, and two-way contracts can be signed starting today.
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
Sean Sweeney’s new team in Orlando after bringing Vuc and Carter back.
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
The Celtics with the additions of Mitchell Robinson and Mike Conley
Paul Garcia (@ PaulGarciaNBA):
The Lakers can go in a number of directions with their starting five at the 3 and 4. Here’s my initial guess
SpursRΞPORTΞR (@ SpursReporter):
Don’t know why @ KevinOConnor of @ YahooSports would print that Spurs GM Brian Wright is a Klutch Sports client. There is no record or proof of that.
He’s simply an executive who maintains an incredibly close, highly collaborative working relationship with Rich Paul’s team.
