The Grizzlies are trading CJ Miles to Washington for Dwight Howard, league source tells ESPN. Deal saves Memphis $3.1M. Grizzles will waive or trade Howard, per source.

zion abt to play pro basketball

Zion Williamson is getting booed everytime he does not dunk in the layup line.

at what point do we start getting mad at kawhi for not getting on with it, like hey man I got stuff to do

im already mad

zion fouled on a oop attempt first possession

check out some knicks fans

happy for them that the knicks are back and have made all the right moves to continue their recent decline

I respect kawhi taking his time as long as it ends with him not signing with the lakers

^ a measured, well-reasoned position

zion got a dunk

two dunks

love too watch zion dunk

three dunks

they shd change the name of the league to the ZDA (zion dunk association)

seems like he's still good

lol his shot is traaaash tho

four dunks (was on the bench between the last two)

a good skill for him would be dunking from the bench

lol the Summer League staffers just tried to throw frisbees into the crowd, but one flew back and hit Collin Sexton in the front row

kawhi will just show up in uniform to some team's game 1 with no announcement beforehand

zion dunked too hard

Summer League games have been postponed for the rest of the night. pic.twitter.com/dJghRRAj8u

Kawhi clippers!!!!!

What on earrrrrrrrrth lmao

whoaaaaaaaaaaa

staples gonna be wild next year

Kawhi Leonard has been recruiting Paul George to find a way to get to the Clippers and LA pulled it off tonight: George goes to the Clippers with Leonard, and together they walk into Staples Center to go head-to-head with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

"a record setting collection of draft picks"

Russ gotta be demanding a trade soon I would imagine

rip toronto

Kawhi is the drama queen after all!

After Leonard pushed George to find a way to get to the Clippers, Paul George approached the team and requested a trade, league sources tell ESPN. OKC was left with no choice and made the best out of a difficult situation, per sources.

Kinda weird he wanted to partner with his not quite as good clone

The Clippers are sending the Thunder four unprotected first-round picks, one protected first-round pick and two pick swaps, league sources tell ESPN. Those picks go to OKC with Gallinari and SGA.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 6, 2019

appropriately wild

they're gonna be impossible on perimeter d

Wow what a haul tho. Shai plus a million picks and a nice trade chip with Gallo

well... anthony davis might be the one you'd most want to have for the life of a max contract

I just mean he dragged his feet and kept the lakers waiting while all the major FAs signed elsewhere

Rival NBA teams have been aware of the discontent of OKC's two stars: Paul George -- and Russell Westbrook, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Leonard pushed the Clippers in recent days to deliver him a second star, and they did.
