Dallas pivoted to signing Naji Marshall, league sources say, after
unexpectedly conceding tonight that it likely would not have the wherewithal to retain Derrick Jones Jr. while the Mavs focus on the sign-and-trade pursuit of Klay Thompson. ESPN first reported Marshall deal. – 10:08 PM

If Derrick Jones Jr. is getting more than the MLE and Dallas can’t legally match, ok, I get it.
If they actively chose Naji Marshall (or, indirectly, Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade) over DJJ, I just disagree with that. They really need his point-of-attack defense. – 10:05 PM

It’s kind of hilarious that LeBron James gets to play with his literal son before he gets to play with Chris Paul, his banana boat buddy.

As NBA free agency begins, a familiar face is leaving Warriors as Klay Thompson will be on the move. Though an expected move that will not have the impact of other free agent deals, it feels like the official end of an era. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron – 8:50 PM

If the Lakers want to open up the full $12.9M NTMLE to sign someone like Klay, Harden or Valanciunas, they’d only have $33.5M left for LeBron – about $16M below his max.
In that scenario, they’d likely try to trade away some salary to open up more money for LeBron. – 4:13 PM

Nate Duncan: With the Marshall signing, Mavs project as $10m below the 1st Apron hard cap. They have a $16m TPE from the Hardaway trade to get Klay, but would have to clear other money 1st. Josh Green or Kleber would fit into a team’s MLE in a trade. -via Twitter @NateDuncanNBA / June 30, 2024
Marc Stein: Sources say Dallas remains focused on securing a commitment from Klay Thompson and completing a sign-and-trade that lands Thompson into its looming Tim Hardaway Jr. trade exception. The Mavericks’ hope earlier today was that they still had a path to land Thompson and keep Jones. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / June 30, 2024
The 19-year-old son of LeBron James has a Name-Image-Licensing value of $3.2 million, according to an estimate by the On3 social network provided to Sportico. That number, On3 says, is less than half of what it was last year, when Bronny had an estimated valuation of $7 million, thanks to deals with Google, Beats by Dre, and Nike. -via Deadline / June 30, 2024

Adrian Wojnarowski: There’s a sense probably LeBron James starts to really take this year to year, but what he’s telling the Lakers is if they can find an impact player at the mid-level exception about $13 million whether that’s a Klay Thompson, a James Harden, a Jonas Valanciunas, maybe a couple others because this is not a star-laden free agency class, he will take less on his contract to allow the Lakers to add that exception into their payroll. -via YouTube / June 30, 2024
