Veteran guard Kris Dunn will join the Wizards for their mini-camp in late June.

Advice: Presumably, Dunn's presence in the mini-camp will serve two purposes. First, he'll provide veteran leadership and welcome defensive intensity whenever he's on the court. Second, he'll stay in shape and potentially raise his profile enough to earn a guaranteed deal for the 2022-23 season. Even if the latter scenario works out, it's hard to see Dunn having more than steals-specialist appeal in D.C. or anywhere else. NBCSportsEDGE.com 27 minutes ago

Free agent guard Facundo Campazzo said he'll consider returning to Real Madrid if he doesn't get an attractive offer from an NBA team.

Advice: "It would be naïve to be obsessed with staying in the NBA," Campazzo told TN.com. "Maybe I don’t get any [NBA] offers. Real Madrid has always been like a second home for me." The 31-year-old Campazzo has filled a niche for Denver the past two seasons, chipping in 5.6 points, 3.5 dimes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 triples in 20.1 minutes per game. But with Jamal Murray returning from a torn ACL, plus guaranteed deals for Monte Morris, Will Barton and Bones Hyland, it's not a given that Denver will seek to retain Facu's services in free agency.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti spoke on Saturday at the team’s introductory press conference and said he thinks they’ll find a different team for JaMychal Green. 

Advice: “I think we’ll probably find a situation for him that’s not with us, but not because we don’t value him as a player, but because of where he is right now,” said Presti.  Green, along with a 2027 draft pick, was traded from the Nuggets to the Thunder in exchange for the No. 30 pick in the 2022 draft (Peyton Watson) and two future second-rounders. This statement from Presti comes as little to no surprise given OKC’s youth movement, and with Green being 32 years old, he doesn’t fit all too well into their plans. Green will likely be on the move, but regardless of his ultimate landing spot, it’s unlikely he’ll be a consistent fantasy contributor. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:24 pm

According to Kenneth Teape of NBA Analysis Network, the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers are “major threats” to land Charlotte forward Miles Bridges.

Advice: Both teams mentioned are expected to be some of the more active teams this summer, and at this moment, they’ve been the lone teams linked as potential threats to sign Bridges away from the Hornets. Regardless of destination, Bridges is going to land a pretty massive contract this season, but whether it’s with the Hornets or another suitor remains to be seen. Charlotte had originally said that they were hesitant to offer Bridges a max deal, but more recently stated that they could be looking to offload salary in order to retain the emerging star. Gordon Hayward is the first name that comes to mind in terms of shedding some contracts in Charlotte, and Bridges could be even better than his 2021-2022 third-round fantasy value if Hayward heads elsewhere. Bridges bet on himself last summer when he declined a four-year deal worth nearly $60 million, and because of that, he could now earn twice that this summer. Be prepared to draft him as soon as the second round of all re-draft leagues. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 12:17 pm

Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that the Knicks may try to trade Cam Reddish this offseason to create cap space for a Jalen Brunson signing.

Advice: Reddish appeared in just 15 games for New York last season after his trade from Atlanta, and there's a good chance he'll be on the move once again. Owed nearly $6M for the 2022-23 season, he and Alec Burks will likely be part of any trade discussions in which the Knicks engage. Don't be surprised if veteran Taj Gibson is waived to free up even more space. New York is apparently "all in" on signing Brunson after his breakout campaign with Dallas.

Josh Hart's $12.96 salary for 2022-23 becomes fully guaranteed if not waived by Saturday, June 25.

Advice: Hart showed a lot of heart in 13 appearances with Portland, averaging 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists erupting for a career-best 44 points against the Wizards on March 12. With such a team-friendly salary, it makes perfect sense for Portland to keep Hart around with Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons and the newly-acquired Jerami Grant. We'd expect Hart to be a Blazer this season. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 9:09 am

In a recent interview with Complex, Andrew Wiggins explained how motivating it was to listen to his detractors when he first arrived in Golden State and how fulfilling it is to have won a championship.

Advice: Wiggins said, “When they talk it’s all motivation. When I first got here, everyone had something to say, now everyone is quiet. It’s good to just make those guys kick rocks.” The Wiggins deal got a lot of scrutiny when it first went down, with many labeling him a bust. He's got one more year left on his deal, and after playing a pivotal role in the Warriors' championship run, it wouldn't be surprising if the Dubs locked him up for another contract.

On a recent episode of the Lowe Post Podcast, Zach Lowe said that NBA teams are preparing for the possibility of Kevin Durant being available if Kyrie Irving leaves Brooklyn.

Advice: According to Lowe, “I can tell you this. This is what teams are doing. Teams are already operating under, not the assumption, but ‘we need to prepare for the contingency that Kevin Durant is available via trade in six days or seven days.’ … The whole league is now.” It's been strongly rumored that Durant will explore an avenue out of Brooklyn if Kyrie Irving does. It's extremely rare that a player of Durant's caliber becomes available in a trade, and this could be a franchise-altering move for any team if Durant is indeed made available. The Nets' drama is just getting started ahead of free agency, which starts at 6PM EST on June 30. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 5:42 am

Kevin Durant said on his podcast "The ETCs" on Friday that he won't be involved in Kyrie Irving's free agency decision.

Advice: With recent reports that Kyrie may leave Brooklyn, KD is waiting to see what happens. He's not going to influence Irving, but Kyrie's decision will certainly influence what KD does. Durant doesn't have much of a chance to win a championship if he stays in Brooklyn without Irving, even with the acquisition of Ben Simmons. While a trade for a player as dominant as KD would take quite the haul of draft picks and players, it shouldn't be ruled out if Durant has no interest in staying with Brooklyn. Like Durant, we'll have to play the waiting game until Kyrie makes a decision. NBCSportsEDGE.com Friday, 10:00 am

The Detroit Pistons are expected to heavily pursue Phoenix big man Deandre Ayton, per James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Advice: The Pistons just dealt Jerami Grant to the Blazers for a 2025 first-round pick (via Milwaukee), so they have a bit more wiggle room than they did this morning. As it stands, Detroit has Isaiah Stewart as their center, but he had a down season at a time when many thought he would make a jump, so they’d likely have no problem placing him in a backup role if Ayton does end up in Motor City. The Pistons don’t have to use all of their $43 million worth of cap space this offseason though, so they could just take on some so-so contracts and collect more assets, but at least they’d be flexible. Ayton’s time in Phoenix has appeared as if it was over since Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, and hopefully some deals are settled when the draft rolls around in about 24 hours.

The Suns are interested in trading a veteran player to the Pelicans for the 8th pick to clear cap space to sign Deandre Ayton, Jonathan Givony of ESPN reported Tuesday. 

Advice: The report lists Cameron Johnson a player that could be dealt to create cap space, though it’s not confirmed that he’s the only candidate to be traded. Other reports suggested that Ayton’s tenure with the Suns was practically over, so we’ll see if anything has actually changed.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Tuesday, 7:09 am

Andrew Wiggins spoke on a possible contract extension with the Warriors, saying that he would love to stay in Golden State.

Advice: Wiggins’ full quote reads as such: “I would love to stay here. This is top-notch. The way they treat their players, the way they treat your family. We’re all one big family. A lot of places might say that, but here their actions show it. I would love to stay here.” While there’s a chance he’s still riding the high of winning his first championship (after contributing to it heftily, at that), Wiggins played the best basketball of his life this postseason and it comes as no surprise that he’d like to stay with Golden State. Wiggins is entering the final year of his five-year, nearly $148 million contract, and if he carries over what he did in the playoffs into next season in any regard, the Warriors should have no problem extending him. There are a ton of studs on the Warriors deserving of making the big bucks, however, so it’s something to monitor going forward, but it’s not a pressing concern at this very moment.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Saturday, 5:08 pm

Portland is not a "legitimate landing spot" for Deandre Ayton according to Jake Fischer. 

Advice: Fischer notes that the Blazers are focused on Toronto's OG Anunoby in a deal involving their 7th overall pick. The Blazers are expected to retain starting center Jusuf Nurkic according to Fischer, but obviously things can change. The Hawks and the Pistons are two of the teams most frequently mentioned as Ayton suitors.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Thursday, 9:57 am
