I’m LIVE on the @SportingTrib’s X talking about NBA free agency, the Clippers trading Norman Powell for John Collins and in the running for adding Bradley Beal and Chris Paul. We also talk about the Lakers and a possible trade they could have in the works. x.com/i/broadcasts/1… – 10:59 PM

CP3, De’Anthony Melton and Malcolm Brogdon are my personal favorites, but I wrote about some free agency targets for the Suns weeks back, and some are still available to potentially fill those final 1-2 roster spots: bit.ly/4nqWEVJ – 2:38 PM

Clippers moving like a team who knows they’re getting Bradley Beal if he’s bought out, and/or will use what’s left below apron for Chris Paul reunion. – 12:06 PM

More on this storyline
If Beal were to join Harden in the Clippers’ backcourt, that would likely rule out a return to Clipperland for Chris Paul, who has made it clear that he wants to stay as close to his family’s Los Angeles base as possible if he returns for a 21st season. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 7, 2025
Michael Scotto: If Bradley Beal agrees to a Suns buyout, Clippers may have interest but only have $5.3M of the non-tax MLE to use. Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Paul have also drawn free agency interest from LA. Clippers get John Collins on an expiring $26.58M deal as Norman Powell goes to the Heat -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / July 7, 2025
