“He's an intelligent basketball player.”
When the #Celtics traded Robert Williams in the Jrue Holiday deal
entering training camp, many questioned the depth/security of Boston’s bigs.
All eyes panned to Luke Kornet, who later shined in a C’s Playoff win. si.com/nba/celtics/top-stori…

Toronto Raptors big man Sandro Mamukelashvili is declining his $2.8 million player option for 2026-27 to become a free agent, George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Mamukelashvili will have a strong developing market in free agency.

The opt-out comes days after the Warriors said they expect Green to pick up the $27.7M option. Instead Green delivers Golden State time and space to pursue Davis with the Wizards and convince James to join Stephen Curry, Green and his old Lakers championship teammate in the Bay.

Golden State was $20M below the first apron prior to Green declining his option.
The move will likely open up the full $15M non tax midlevel exception to use and still have enough flexibility to build the bench.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.7 million player option to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4.

The Harden contract was guaranteed for $13.3M if he had opted-in.
The opt-out route gives both sides a window to negotiate a new deal but at a likely lower salary.
Cleveland is now $42M below the second apron

$2m is guaranteed with the balance protected if not waived by 7/8

QO for Watson is $6.5M and Jones $2.65M
