Sunday Best: LOTS of fresh NBA free agency and trade Intel
It's going to be a busy day filled with transactions
Around-the-league NBA notes on a Sunday?
On the very Sunday that the NBA is lifting its annual moratorium on signings and trades to deliver a rash of official announcements to cement moves that have already been reported?
Yes, please.
To the latest from my notebook on the status of Denver's quest to finally secure a dependable backup for Nikola Jokić, some of the backstory to explain Deandre Ayton's move to the Lakers and an update on a recent former NBA head coach who is very much in demand:
It isn't the most significant transaction we'll see consummated in the NBA this month or even this weekend once the moratorium is lifted at 12:01 PM ET Sunday.
That said ...
Denver's looming acquisition of Jonas Valančiūnas from Sacramento has the most layers and greatest capacity for international intrigue.
