The Lakers and Warriors, a pair of Pacific rivals, may be competing for some of the same veterans in free agency, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, who notes that both teams are believed to be eyeing Andre Iguodala.
League sources tell Bleacher Report that Paul Millsap would be interested in joining the Warriors for a deal in the range of the taxpayer mid-level exception (approximately $5.9MM), though a reunion with the Hawks is also a possibility for Millsap, Fischer adds.
The Lakers, meanwhile, have been linked to Patty Mills, according to Fischer, who notes that the team would likely have to offer Mills more than the minimum to lure him to L.A.
Here are a few more free agency rumors from Fischer:
- Fischer says the numbers floating around for Duncan Robinson‘s next contract are about $16-18MM per year, which is the range I previously speculated for the Heat forward, given last year’s market for top shooters.
- Another three-point marksman, Pacers wing Doug McDermott, is expected to get a deal worth more than the $9.5MM mid-level exception, per Fischer.
- The Spurs and Pistons are among the teams with Bulls restricted free agent forward Lauri Markkanen on their radar, according to Fischer.
- Veteran swingman Danny Green is thought to have interest in playing for the Heat, Fischer reports.
- Gorgui Dieng will likely be in line for a deal worth about the bi-annual exception ($3.7MM), with the Suns and Spurs among his potential suitors, writes Fischer.
Iggy and Millsap to the Dubs would be the depth they have been looking for.
I agree.
Omg,a Millsap ATL reunion would be awesome, as would one with jazz. Though GS would be a great fit for him.
Duncan Robinson for 4 years/$68 million, and prevent some team from giving him some sort of wonky offer sheet
If Paul Milsap would be available at that price, that could be amazing for the Heat, if it fits into what they’re doing. Wasnt sure if he could be landed for the full mid level. I’ve felt that he is a top priority the last couple of years, but I’m sure there are several teams that would be interested in him, especially at that price
Didnt think Danny Green would be in the Heat’s price range, but that would actually potentially be really amazing, depending on what else they do. That doesnt feel legit to me. I feel like his market should be really strong for a significant amount of teams, including the team he just played for
I would love to add Danny Green
For some reason, I have a feeling that some team out there is gonna make Duncan Robinson a crazy offer around 20 million over 4 years. Might be a bit too high for Heat liking with Lowry coming in against the hard cap. I see the Heat trying to package Robinson and maybe Okpala for DeRozan in a S&T.
Danny Green would be a perfect fit on the Heat… imagine havinge a starting 5 of Bam / Duncan / Butler / DeRozan / Lowry… and a bench of Dedmon(?), Herro, Green, Ariza(?) etc etc…. easily the most depth in the NBA
Bro Iggy has to be at least 50 years old by now
