While there will undoubtedly be several more moves in the coming days, it's starting to feel as if the NBA got most of its business done ahead of the Independence Day holiday so most team execs and agents can spend time with their families.
It's unlikely we'll see any major breaking news on Thursday, but teams looking to finalize their situations could ramp up the aggression on Friday to get their ducks in a row before the league year starts.
The Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are among the teams that could be aggressive in the coming days trying to improve their roster. Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen is the top prize remaining on the trade market, but Utah has reportedly set an exorbitant price for its 27-year-old All-Star.
