Impact (and no surprise) of the Josh Hart $12.96M contract guaranteed in Portland:
💰 $105M in guaranteed contracts
🏀Over the cap because of the free agent holds of Simons and Nurkic
💰Flexibility to sign both players and still use the full $10.5M midlevel exception – 9:31 AM

Similar pessimism has been conveyed to me about Portland’s Jusuf Nurkić and restricted free agent Anfernee Simons. Both are widely expected by rival teams to land new deals with the Trail Blazers after free agency opens. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 28, 2022

Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was reportedly interested in playing with Ayton. However, Portland kept Jusuf Nurkic through the trade deadline with the intention of re-signing him in free agency this summer, which remains the case a week before free agency begins, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / June 24, 2022
