Main takeaway from Chris Paul: yes, he said all the right things about Wemby and providing leadership for the kids and working with Pop, but he’s here for a much simpler reason.
He wanted to hoop, and the Spurs were the team that gave him a chance to do it. Refreshing honesty. – 2:41 PM

The Heat’s projected rotation for next season:
Starters = Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo
Second Unit = Josh Richardson, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith, Kel’el Ware
A big bet from Miami on their young core taking leaps. pic.twitter.com/J2KLkQsZLk – 10:42 AM

If he got unlikely bonuses, Chris Paul can actually earn more than his $11 million if he gets easily achievable incentives, such as the Spurs winning 23 games next year. – 7:38 PM

Doing the math on the Spurs trading for Harrison Barnes. Even without his trade bonus, they can’t fit him in their cap space after only waiving Charles Bassey.
Unless they also cut Justin Champagnie, I think Chris Paul’s deal may come a little different than his reported $11 – 7:26 PM

Looks like Spurs did Barnes trade and CP signing without cutting Champagnie; unless CP took a paycut, that would seem to indicate that Barnes waived his trade kicker. pic.twitter.com/y88qm64FCH – 7:25 PM

Incoming UNC freshman, Drake Powell, was a top performer during 5v5 live action at the Tatum Elite Camp.
The toolsy, versatile 18-year-old wing showed encouraging progress w/ his jumper, including a barrage of makes vs. Chris Paul and other pros.
Projected 2025 lottery pick. pic.twitter.com/mXTAFF18lW – 5:08 PM

Before the start of Summer League, the Spurs’ most recent 2nd-rounder sat down with their most accomplished 2nd-rounder.
What Manu Ginobili told Harrison Ingram: Believe in your own path.
How Ingram will look to do that as SL tips off:

4. Manu Ginobili (San Antonio) 🇦🇷
9. Tony Parker (San Antonio) 🇫🇷
10. Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio) 🇺🇸
A pretty good draft run for the Spurs.

More on this storyline
Tyrese Haliburton said to Arizona Sports he had zero communication with the Suns during the pre-draft process. Phoenix traded for Chris Paul two days earlier, which obviously would have created a temporary logjam and kept Haliburton as a third guard for at least a short while. Would he have been open to learning from Paul while forming a long-term backcourt with Devin Booker? “For sure, no question,” Haliburton said. -via Arizona’s Sports Page / July 8, 2024
Paul Garcia: Got some clarity from one of the best cap experts around @YossiGozlan: by waiving Bassey and Champagnie, and if Paul signed for $11 mil, the Spurs could absorb Barnes’ $19.85 mil salary with about $366K left. Here’s what that would look like: pic.twitter.com/uk0NaCazzJ -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / July 8, 2024
Malika Andrews: The end of an era, as one of the most dominant trios we’ve ever seen is dismantled in the Bay: – Won 4 titles together, tied w/ Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker for the most titles by an All-NBA trio over the last 50 seasons. – Made 6 Finals together, the most by any trio, who each made All-NBA at least once, over the last 50 seasons -via Twitter @malika_andrews / July 1, 2024

Kevin Garnett’s bold statement on a segment of Complex’s ‘I Got Time Today’ where he claimed to be a better player than Tim Duncan stirs up an age-old debate between two of the NBA’s greatest power forwards. “I would say so. I didn’t play on probably better teams than Timmy played, but I thought I was a better player. Thought I did more, all around a better player, but shout to Timmy and his body of work and what he did too. Salute.” -via Fade Away World / July 3, 2024
Jorge Sierra: Jayson Tatum is the first player to lead an NBA champion in playoff scoring, rebounds and assists and NOT win Finals MVP since the award exists. Larry Bird: 1984 Hakeem Olajuwon: 1994 Tim Duncan: 2003 LeBron: 2012, 2013 and 2016 Nikola Jokic: 2023 All those won Finals MVP. -via Twitter @hoopshype / June 18, 2024
