David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 42m42 minutes ago David Aldridge Retweeted Albert Nahmad Nets’ offer sheet to Tyler Johnson—four years, $50M—has a player option after third year, per source. Incredible.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

The Dallas Mavericks intend to sign restricted free agent Harrison Barnes to a max offer sheet on the first day they are able, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN that the Mavericks have committed a four-year max contract to Barnes worth an estimated $95 million, which can be finalized July 7, when a leaguewide moratorium is lifted on signings and trades.

The sense from Durant to GSWs, according to a source, continues to be that he likes their team but doesn't know if he can/should leave OKC.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 3m3 minutes ago The money is a wash if we're talking two-year deals. OKC can offer a two-year pact worth $55 million. All other teams: Two years, $54.27 mil This is why I laughed at all the people saying he'd stay in OKC because of the money. The difference is nothing. And even if you're talking the long term deal differences, 5 years for OKC vs. 4 years for everyone else, it's not like he won't get an awesome deal when he's a free agent in that 5th year if he leaves. Sure, a non-all star will take the guaranteed longer deal, but a guy like Durant will make the same money regardless over his career. He's a stud. Heck, becoming a free agent faster will probably net him more cash in the long run.

I think if he wants to max out profit he signs a one year deal and then signs a max deal next offseason. But I actually don't think Durant is all about the money. I think he genuinely is thinking this over
