#Raptors
. The Bucks maintain their MLE. (via

had a goal: Sign two high level free agents, and fill out the roster with veteran minimums. Bobby Portis, and the eventual TPMLE signing fulfill that goal. One name to watch: Victor Oladipo.
The

are optimistic they can upgrade their roster through the buyout market. Two names they have shown interest in are
#Spurs
F Thaddeus Young and newly acquired
#Trailblazers
G Eric Bledsoe.
The
#Rockets
have been discussed as the third team. Cleveland would rather have John Wall than Westbrook, while Los Angeles is interested in veteran Eric Gordon.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a standing offer for
#Knicks
F Cam Reddish and
#Suns
F Jae Crowder. Horst’s message to the teams: “whoever calls back first gets Jordan Nwora.”
Victor Oladipo planned to test the market, in hopes of an offer worth north of $10 million annually. Teams have reportedly not budged, leaving the market for the 29 year old limited.

As former
#Bucks
C DeMarcus Cousins signs a 10 day contract with the
#Nuggets
, news has come out of the Milwaukee front office saying DeMarcus Cousins was not seeing eye to eye with the coaching staff off the court.
I never reported the Bucks were going to sign Oladipo. Both sides were in talk but the two couldn’t come to an agreement which ended up having Oladipo resign in Miami.
A source within a top NBA organization has told me the league is “preparing” for a Russell Westbrook for John Wall swap. It is unclear if Houston would be willing to buyout the remainder of Westbrook’s contract.
Three-Team trade has been confirmed.
Lakers Receive: D’Angelo Russel, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt
Timberwolves Receive: Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and a 2nd round pick
Utah Receive: Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a 1st round pick
Both the
#Knicks
and
#Bucks
both have deals on the table for
#Pistons
F Bojan Bogdanović. Executives around the league expect the Bucks to make potentially two moves today.
Source: Bucks players met and held a “closed scrimmage” in Milwaukee with potential Buck Jae Crowder participating in the runs. The games were held outside of Bucks facilities and without coaches.
Higher-ups within the
#Bucks
organization are very high on George Hill, leaving a disconnect on the need for using the TPMLE. It’s unclear if the
#Bucks
are done or not.
With the trade deadline approaching in a month, the
#Bucks
sent multiple scouts to tonight’s matchup between the Kings and Cavaliers. Something to keep an eye on with the trade deadline approaching.
Recently waived guard George Hill is receiving interest from multiple teams already. Sources say the

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been cleared from health and safety protocols. Antetokounmpo is expected to go through a workout today to determine if he will play tomorrow.

and
#Jazz
are “close” to agreeing to a deal that would send Russell Westbrook to Utah in exchange for a package involving Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley.
The
#Bucks
have called the
#Grizzlies
with interest in F Kyle Anderson. A 3rd team is likely necessary for a deal to be made, and progress has not been made towards a deal. Expect talks to continue throughout the day.
For those interested in my personal life, I prefer to keep it off of social media. I’m on this platform in hopes to help inform other fans, and because of my passion for the NBA. I appreciate those with respect for my work, but this isn’t my day job, and I can’t treat it as such.
Three teams have discussed deals with the
#Bucks
involving the 24th pick: the
#Wizards
,
#Cavs
and
#Kings
. Milwaukee cannot officially trade the pick until draft night, which means they will be in talks with multiple teams, and teams want “their guy” on the board to make a deal.
Jordan Nwora put up an impressive 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists with big plays on both sides of the ball as the
#Bucks
won their first summer league game against the
#Clippers

Despite missing the entire season due to his off court commitment to food,
#Pelicans
star Zion Williamson will NOT play in Game 3 tonight against the Suns.

The
#Bucks
have inquired on the availability of
#Wizards
wings Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle Kuzma. The
#Wizards
have shown a willingness to part with KCP in discussions with Milwaukee. Expect talks to resume tomorrow morning.
This is the only time I will address this. Yes, it is me. I got my headshot for free at justheadshots when I spent my fall with my grandparents in Stretton, England. One look at my banner should have confirmed anything a long time ago.
The Nets are expected to proceed with trade discussions with potential suitors, as Kyrie will opt-in to allow a trade to occur. The
#Lakers
have shown the most interest in Kyrie thus far.
The Hornets still remain interested in forward Lauri Markkanen who is a RFA. The Bulls are looking to match any deal for Markkanen in hopes of a sign and trade.
