AROUND the NBA:

Why are Shams and Stein reporting that Duren is a no show at camp? He isn't under contract. Why on earth would he be there?

Those two have fallen so badly as of late.

Dillingham is being waived in Charlotte.  It will be interesting to see if he gets a two way spot.   It will be his official 4th team in two years if you count Charlotte.  Things move fast in the NBA.   One minute you are a high lottery pick, the next you have to hope you get a chance at a two way spot.

I thought Minny boxed themsevles in with that gamble.   It didn't work out but Minny pivoted pretty nicely imo.   The Lamelo Ball trade has a lot of skeptics but to have Ball, Ayo and Kuminga is a solid safe.   Ball health is the big question mark and they had to give up Naz too.

Stein didn't say he is a no show - see quote in the FA thread
