I'm already really looking forward to next season. I reckon at least 12 teams have a conceivable shot at winning the Championship - Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Blazers, Thunder, Jazz, Rockets, Raptors, Celtics, Sixers, Bucks.
Still plenty of free agency moves to happen so it's hard to make a call right now.
Kawhi is the most interesting move, for me. Honestly no idea if he stays or goes.
It will be brilliant for the impartial viewer next season.
With regard to Kawhai, I reckon he might stay for another year. They showed him the love and it matters to him
Sources: Lakers hustling to create max salary slot
The Lakers were engaging additional teams on Tuesday to take on the contracts of three players on the roster, trying to create a max salary slot, league sources told ESPN.
Lakers trying to clear the decks of everyone except AD, LBJ and Kuz. They will hope to fill a max slot and then try to fill the roster with cheap vets

I don't fully understand why Davis would waive his $4m trade bonus. It's free money for him. Why would he walk away from that?
I don't think he will either

AD will be the best player Lebron has ever played with.
Matthew Dellavedova says hi.
Delly isn't even the greatest Australian NBA player, that honour goes to Smokin' Joe Ingles.
If you are being serious, it’s clearly Andrew Bogut.
6 straight seasons almost averaging a double-double.
It is clearly Andrew Bogut, and I was clearly not being serious

In a massive shock, the Pels selected Zion Williamson #1 in the draft...

Celtics signed Tacko Fall apparently.
Celtics Sign Tacko Fall to Contract as Undrafted Free Agent After 2019 Draft
The Boston Celtics have signed undrafted University of Central Florida center Tacko Fall to an Exhibit 10 contract, per ESPN's Jonathan Givony . Fall now has a shot at becoming one of the tallest players to ever grace an NBA court...

Homemade mini-movie dropped on youtube a couple days ago, almost a half-million views already. Very well done tribute.
It’s looking like the entire league is holding their breath waiting for him to make his “Decision.”

What is the likely decision??

I reckon he stays. For a year.

Depends on how bad he thinks his injury is. If he has concerns about it long term, he will sign with the Raptors long term since MLSE has the best sport science department in the NBA. If he thinks he will heal soon he will sign a one year deal with Toronto.
He wants to go home to LA which is understandable but as Shaq put it, why leave when you're the king of a country.

I think he will face far less scrutiny in Toronto, and it suits his personality better

Nobody seems to know. Everybody is quessing. It’s the most closely guarded secret in sports. And the anticipation and suspense is enormous. The whole NBA has their eyes on him.

@Sneakdefreak I hope he stays. I love how Canada have said "What ever you want we will give it to you free"

Is there a date it must be finalised?
-
Dunno, but I’ve been hearing a July 5 deadline when all sorts of contracts and “franchise player” restrictions pass. I honestly don’t know what it means other than teams have to sort out all sorts of salary-cap ramifications by that date. Beyond me, I’m afraid.
-
Adding, all sorts of moves in Toronto could affect roster moves. If Ujiri moves as GM, Leonard probably wouldn’t stay. And if Leonard goes, Gasol will likely leave too. But if they keep it together, they could easily make another title run next year. May not win it all. But they’d stand another great chance to win the East.

Update: This report says deadline is June 29.
