The Kings have brought back Alex Len and traded for Tristan Thompson, so the toughness has been elevated in the paint. What this means for Richaun Holmes is anyone's guess.

seems like a partially/non guaranteed deal for Len based on the wording of Sham's tweet. Basically something similar to what Kaminsky got last season

Yeah except I don’t think it is.
Possibly, Holmes has some value to teams so maybe there is going to be a sign and trade for a guy…..looking at the ATL Boston teams…….deep wish list that Collins comes this way

Muscala had early bird rights with OKC and could sign this contract with dipping into their midlevel.
— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) August 2, 2021
OKC is acting as a team over the cap because of their trade exceptions but could generate north of $25M in room if needed. https://t.co/AFAUJ4p1av

No RFA offer sheets yet. Teams still taking their time there as per usual.

Will someone throw one at John Collins before much longer?
Hmm, so maybe just another hedge if Holmes leaves? Let Neemias, Jones, TT, Len all fight each other for the C rotation?

We need to stop signing Backup Centers!
If its Len instead of TT I'm ok with that

San Antonio can still generate up to $30M in cap space but would need to release the holds of DeRozan, Mills and Gay.

I'm going to wager Rudy goes to the Lakers.

Penciling in Chris Paul at a flat $30M would still have Phoenix with $26M in room.
— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) August 2, 2021
Good enough to sign Cam Payne, use their $9.5M midlevel and still stay below the tax.

Slow centers and point guards. One too short to guard wings and one too slow

Looks like the Mavs are splitting the MLE between Bullock and Brown.

Are we sure Donnie Nelson's not running the Mavs anymore?

I'm seeing a lot of Twitter chatter, all from unverified accounts, about keeping an eye on Toronto going after Holmes. I thought Trent signing made them run out of space?
I just want Holmes back

Good for them I guess?

The Kings traded for Tristan Thompson, drafted Neemias Queta and signed Alex Len, but there’s still a possibility of retaining Richaun Holmes. We’ll see how this plays out.
Why do they act like the trade was completed?

Too bad the team plays basketball and not WWE. Skill level so far about the same.
