NBA: A dunk from Johnny Furphy at the NBA Academy games had scouts salivating, with the young Aussie rising steadily on draft boards.

Windhorst explained that George has a “different menu of options,” including opting into the final year of his contract with the Clippers to facilitate a trade — which would necessitate the fastest timeline.“That is something that is going to come to a head in the next day or two if he wants to go with that option, because obviously you’d have to negotiate a trade. Then, the team wouldn’t necessarily need salary cap space.

The forward was an All-Star both of the last two years after playing in only 31 games in 2021-22 due to a torn UCL in his right arm. If George opts into his contract to set up an exit from Los Angeles, insider Marc Stein reported that the Knicks could be a candidate to land the 34-year-old. The Nuggets wing would help any contending team go to the next level, with Stein reporting that sources say Philadelphia and Orlando are considering making a play for Caldwell-Pope if he declines his $15.4 million player option with the Nuggets to enter free agency.The veteran’s $30 million contract for next season will become guaranteed if he is on Golden State’s roster or another team’s after June 28.

Detroit also has a new president in Trajan Langdon, which further casts doubt on whether the front office has the same interest in LaVine under different leadership.
