[Weiss] Rob Pelinka either just secured 2 titles for the Lakers or threw their assets out the window. Mark Williams has struggled with injuries his whole career and still needs to learn how to anchor a defensive system, but his skill set is incredible for a rim roller playing with Luka & LeBron.

Steve Kerr: Wiggs is one of my favorite players I've ever coached. Just, just a beautiful soul. Just a wonderful human being...we don't hang that banner in 22 without him. Everything he brings every single day, the laughter, the smile, the joy. Just a wonderful human being and so I'm gonna miss him

[Stein] The Warriors have now shifted their trade focus to acquiring Jimmy Butler, The Stein Line has learned, after abandoning the pursuit of Kevin Durant. Durant's strong reservations about a Warriors return sent them in a new direction.

Barry Jackson: If Suns ultimately say no to Miami's Durant proposal, Miami can turn back to Warriors to do Wiggins, expirings and a pick or two for Butler UNLESS Golden State opts to do an Ingram or Vucevic deal instead (or still tries to get Durant even though he doesn't want to return there)

[Gambadoro] I can not rule out Miami now - still will be hard to do but can't rule out. Golden State 99% not going to happen. Had a lot of momentum in last 24 hours but KD does not want to play in Golden State.
