The Lakers have also held preliminary discussions with the Spurs in recent weeks, sources said, showing interest in three-and-D wing Josh Richardson. The 6-foot-5 Richardson has averaged nearly 13 points to start the season, shooting 47.1 percent on 5.67 three-point attempts per game. So expect the Lakers to continue to keep tabs with the Spurs, Hornets and Pacers as a potential trade partner as the season wears on.

The triple take: Spurs 137, Pacers 134 (with a bonus take on Jakob Poeltl’s “courage”)
1. Welcome to the 2022-23 season, Devin Vassell and Josh Richardson.
2. The Spurs’ press break needs work.
3. Benn Mathurin is the real dang deal.

Matthew Tynan: No injuries to report for the Spurs ahead of opening night. Josh Richardson’s knee is good to go; Zach Collins has cleared concussion protocols. -via Twitter @Matthew_Tynan / October 18, 2022
Matisse Thybulle’s role in Philadelphia could be marginalized now with the additions of PJ Tucker, De’Anthony Melton, and Danuel House. Still, he’s one of their best trade assets outside of their main rotation since they can’t trade any first-round picks right now. Thybulle could be a difference maker on the defensive end for the Suns though his three-point shooting struggles could limit his minutes. A package of Thybulle and another salary filler like Furkan Korkmaz or Georges Niang could make sense. If the Suns don’t want Thybulle, perhaps he can be rerouted to a third team while still getting a veteran forward back. For example, perhaps the Spurs would beinterested in Thybulle while sending back the Suns a veteran like Josh Richardson or Doug McDermott. -via HoopsHype / September 26, 2022
