#Patching memory fragments #NBA early, NBA dynamics know early, now summarize the transactions and important events that happened in the NBA this morning for your reference:
1. Spurs head coach Greg Popovich's new five-year contract worth more than $80 million comes after Monty Williams recently signed a six-year, $78.5 million contract with Detroit, and his deal has re-rattled the coaching market. Popovich is the coach with the most coaching wins in NBA history.
2. According to sources, an MRI showed that Rockets rookie guard Amen Thompson already had a second-degree ankle sprain, and recovery would take 3-4 weeks. Thompson will miss a week of games and is expected to miss the remainder of the Summer League after being injured in yesterday's game against Portland.
3. Sources told ESPN that the Atlanta Hawks are trading Titi Washington, Usman Garuba, Rudy Gaye and a second-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Patty Mills. The Eagles saved $4.5 million in the deal. Both Garuba and Washington are 21-year-old rookies and both are recent first-round rookies.
Patty Mills' third trade in the last 10 days has put him on a temporary move to the Hawks [covering his face]. They still need to decide his future with the team this season. His $6.8 million expiring contract will continue to have deal value and may not be the last stop.
4. According to sources, the Phoenix Suns are the most promising team to sign free agent Bor Bol. Other teams expect Ball to sign with the Suns in the near future, and the Suns have deepened their roster this offseason.
5. ESPN reports that the Thunder completed an asset deal with the Hawks, giving them 35 picks over the next 7 years, including 15 first-round picks, and the Thunder are truly a wealthy team.
