I figure the more Earth-shattering moves of the summer will get their own threads but here's a thread to record them all in one place and to post some of the more minor moves. Rumors can go here too as long as the source is accredited.
Free agency officially begins Thursday June 30 at 6pm EST.
Here are some of the biggest stories of the moment. I'll try to keep it updated when I'm feeling ambitious.

More tweets!
These are some slightly older and/or more minor reports. Putting them under a spoiler just so there's not such an overwhelming number of tweets in your eyeballs.

Does anyone know if they had to guarantee Green's salary to trade him to the Grizzlies? Or are they trying to do this prior to the new league year like the Wolves did with Prince last season (as far as timing of the trade)?

So far this is the most boring offseason in recent history. Underwhelming draft, weak free agency class, no trades yet worth noting. Usually by now you have a ton happening I feel.

That’s because 11 teams feel they can win it all with what they have: GS, Celtics, Miami, Dallas (top 4 teams in playoffs) Sixers, Suns, Bucks, Grizzlies (top 8 teams in the playoffs) Nuggets (injured players back) Nets and Lakers (I don’t want to turn this into a Nets or Lakers thread, but having LeBron and KD always will put you in the conversation)
So, 11 teams out of 30 believe they can win it all in 2023. That’s 37% of the league.

And you left out the team that may be the odds on favorite in the Clippers. I don’t buy the hypothesis though unfortunately. Contenders or thinking they are contenders or not, it’s incredibly stale. Even if they think they can win, retooling happens.

I remember the day before the draft, Woj was going on about how draft night was going to be crazy with trades and we saw Kemba Walker’s salary get dumped and DeAnthony Melton get traded, lol.

Yeah, didn't mean to. They are top 6 to me. I still believe in them and in Kawhi.

Retooling for the contenders usually happens on the margins, so we may not see any earth-shattering trades or signings amongst them. Then again, we've seen stranger things happen.

I don't understand why the Spurs seem to be wiling to trade Dejounte Murray. How do you make sense of that?

I kind of get it. Murray is very good and just had the best year of his career but he is 25. He probably isn’t the best player on the next great Spurs team, maybe not even the 2nd best player. They have some good young pieces but those guys probably aren’t on the roster yet. Those guys will probably have to be found in the draft given that the Spurs typically aren’t a destination for top level free agents. So by the time they find their new #1 guy, Murray will probably be in his late 20s plus he’s up for a new deal in 2024 and will likely ask for the max or close to it. This may be the right team to deal him, after his best season and while he’s on his extremely friendly contract.

Anyway Fischer et al drumming up the talks "DJ TO ATL!" hrrrmagrrrrrddd!!! went out with a whisper after the bang tweets.
And people have it backwards. Teams calling the Spurs isn't us actively shopping him, but as he's the best player after Year One of our rebuild in which we won 34 games, frankly no one is nor should be untradeable.
The asking price for those calling is a "Jrue-like" package which people should agree we'd have to look at.
DJ's next contract eligibility may resemble LaVine's, ie/ something starting with a "4" in the first year.
Until then, we've drafted more guards, yes, but four of six potential roster departures are guards, and no that does not include DJ.
We're just up on the FA period and have tradeable assets and cap space so let's see how we can improve our team and go forward with DJ first before we make any further determinations.
But no we're not actively trying to trade him. We know his value which is arguably higher to us than just about any other team.
Re: 2022 NBA Offseason Thread -- Trades and Free Agency Roundup
Annoying. They're both under contract. He did it with LMA when he was with us, too.
Can't he just send a text or something more low key?
Silver fine time!

The only thing about Murray is that if the Spurs are still treading water, trading him makes way more sense than signing him for the max. Because if the Spurs are just going to be a .500 team, then clearly none of their guys are worthy of max money.

Just wait my friend the 29th is approaching
Re: 2022 NBA Offseason Thread -- Trades and Free Agency Roundup
Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti confirmed that the team would exercise their option to keep Lu Dort for the 2022-23 season. Dort will now be on the Thunder's books at $1,930,681 for the upcoming season.
OKC could have declined Dort's option and made him a restricted free agent in July. That would have allowed the Thunder to control the free agent process for Dort, as they could have matched any offer he got.
Now, Dort will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2023, barring him signing an extension. Oklahoma City won't have cap space this summer, as they are carrying a few big expiring deals and have over $27 million in dead money for Kemba Walker on their books.
