Coach K says Rose feels confident w/ Team USA

Coach Mike Krzyzewski said Derrick Rose "feels very confident" about playing with Team USA.

"These guys want to play with him. That's part of getting back ... to be around a group of your peers," Krzyzewski said. Coach Tom Thibodeau is an assist with the team, so he's likely been a consultant for Coach K with Rose. Both coaches seem to have the belief that the extra playing time will only help Rose get back from only playing in 10 regular season games since April of 2012. He's certainly a candidate for MVP, but he's a really risky target for where we'd expect him to be selected in drafts.

Dewayne Dedmon picks up $7.2 million option

Dewayne Dedmon has picked up his $7.2 million player option for the 2018-19 season, according to Yahoo's Shams Charania.

Dedmon reached the threshold for his $900k incentives to kick in next season, and may have calculated that he wouldn't get as much annually with a new deal. This also sets him up for a potential long-term contract next summer when he's an unrestricted free agent at age 30. His presence in Atlanta isn't great news for John Collins' fantasy value, but we still expect Collins to take a step forward in his sophomore campaign.

ESPN: Cavs not actively shopping Kevin Love

The Cavaliers are not actively shopping Kevin Love heading into Thursday's NBA Draft, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com said earlier this week that the Cavs haven't been given any hints on LeBron James staying or leaving, so obviously that is a mega factor in Love's future. Considering the Cavs traded their 2019 pick to the Hawks with a top-10 protection in the next two years, it sure does make sense to tank it up. If Love does stay in Cleveland for a while, he could be a fantasy force again.

ESPN: Knicks looking to move to into top five

The Knicks are exploring the option of trading up to No. 4, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

ESPN's Ian Begley adds that the Knicks had an in-person meeting on Wednesday with Mo Bamba, who would likely be the top target. Bamba is from Harlem and he'd be an excellent fit next to Kristaps Porzingis for one of the longest 4-5 combos in the history of the NBA. The Knicks are comfortable with taking a long-term approach, so maybe they're willing to take on some bad salary.

Leonard told Pop he doesn't want to be in SA

Kawhi Leonard told Gregg Popovich during their Tuesday meeting that he no longer wants to play for the Spurs, according to Stephen A. Smith.

Leonard has made it clear that he'd like to be traded to one of the Los Angeles-based teams, and that his preference would be to go to the Lakers. It's not a great look for Leonard's camp that he first went to the media, and not management, with his trade request, but perhaps that's an indication of how badly fractured their relationship has become.

Dwight Howard traded to BKN for Mozgov

The Hornets are finalizing a deal to send Dwight Howard to the Nets in exchange for Timofey Mozgov, two future second-round picks and cash considerations.

The fact that the best the Hornets get in a trade involving D12 was Mozgov and a few second-rounders tells you pretty much all you need to know about where the former Defensive Player of the Year's value is at as he enters his 15th year in the league. Howard will likely open the year as Brooklyn's starting five-man, which is absolutely terrible news for Jarrett Allen's outlook, while his departure from Charlotte will open up minutes for Willy Hernangomez.

Shams: Kawhi Leonard meets with Popovich

According to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports, Kawhi Leonard met with Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich in San Diego on Tuesday.

It was widely reported on June 15 that Leonard wants out of San Antonio, so this may be a last-ditch effort by Popovich to convince the two-way superstar to reconsider. ESPN adds that Leonard has been reluctant to meet with Popovich up until now, and that he "remains irate with public comments out of teammate Tony Parker and Popovich that he felt were not supportive of him" during his injury-plagued 2017-18 campaign.

Woj: Hawks eyeing Luka Doncic at No. 3

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, "Luka Doncic has moved to forefront of Atlanta's internal conversation on the third overall pick."

NBA decision makers seem to be split when it comes to Doncic, as some have him as the top prospect and others may not even have him in their top 3-5. In terms of fantasy, the Hawks would be a great landing spot for Doncic because they could slowly build their offense around him for years to come. If Doncic is off the board, Wojnarowski adds that the Hawks will consider Jaren Jackson Jr. and Marvin Bagley (if the Kings pass on Bagley at No. 2).

LeBron James not enamored with Houston

LeBron James reportedly does not want to play in Houston next season.

The Rockets still haven't had an opportunity to make their pitch to James, but according to Steven A. Smith, Chris Paul has begun telling people that he doesn't anticipate James landing in Houston and that he'd prefer to play in Los Angeles. The Lakers could realistically land Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and King James this summer, which would surround James with the sort of star power necessary to combat Golden State. There's still a lot that can happen here, but right now, the Lakers look like the early favorites in the James sweepstakes.

Rudy Gay opts out of deal with San Antonio

Rudy Gay has declined to pick up his player option for the 2018-19 season with San Antonio.

Gay will be leaving $8.8 million on the table in hopes of inking a long-term deal at a similar salary, although there won't be many teams with ample cap space this summer, so Gay's wallet could be taking a hit here. He wasn't all that impressive with the Spurs this past season with averages of just 11.5 points, 5.1 boards and 1.3 assists per contest, so regardless of the name across his jersey, he won't be worth targeting in most fantasy hoops leagues.

Jamal Crawford declines player option w/ MIN

Jamal Crawford has declined to pick up his player option worth $4.5 million with the Timberwolves for the 2018-19 season.

Crawford will hit the open market this summer as an unrestricted free agent, but it could be tough for him to command that sort of salary after putting in averages of just 10.3 points, 1.3 triples and 2.3 assists per game on 41.5% shooting during his 2017-18 campaign. However, it's plausible that the 38-year-old veteran might be opting out of this deal in order to sign for the veteran's minimum on a championship caliber squad.

Report: Lonzo Ball a 'constant' in LBJ talks

Lonzo Ball has been "the one constant" on a potential piece to go to Cleveland in a LeBron James sign-and-trade deal, according to Chris Haynes of ESPN.com.

That makes sense for the Lakers because the Spurs are reportedly not likely to deal for him. Ball is still recovering from his PRP treatment in his knee, but he should be ready to roll for training camp. Expect plenty of LaVar Ball talk in the coming weeks.
