Simulated Basketball and Assorted Ridiculousness

GMs around the league are reporting that their electronic bid submissions were received prior to deadline, but received an email reply from SLOE_MAILERDAEMON@PBSL.IJBL.NET saying no recipient found. However, sources within the league office cite that bids WERE in fact received and are in the process of filing them now. "The anxiety around RFA is always high, and I'm sure this confusion wasn't an added bonus for many GMs. That said, do not fret. Announcements will be made shortly."
Aaron Donald reportedly leaving his California trip with an offer sheet in hand.
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine: THIS JUST IN. Sources close to Aaron Donald's camp have confirmed that he has narrowed his choices down to max offers from 3 teams: the Hawks, the Suns, and the Kings. Surprisingly, the Kings are rumored to be the frontrunner. "Aaron and Kings GM really connected over a shared interest in homemade barbecue sauce. It was quite the savory conversation," a front office insider was quoted.
Damion Williams is not, I repeat, not going to the playoffs next year, apparently
Adrian Wojronawski @wojespn: Contrary to previous information, Kristaps Porzingis is being looked at with a keen eye by the Denver Nuggets. They have pinpointed him as a potential target and are zero-ing in on a max offer sheet.
One of the new GMs to the league is apparently a big spender. One of them has reportedly wowed Kristaps Porzingis with a max contract offer. No word on whether it's LAC or OKC as the Knicks don't have the funds to offer a max in RFA.
[/quote]Rumors out of Detroit, the Pistons have finally reached a max deal with a Center to complement Anthony Davis with talent slightly better than the likes of the Odis Jacksons and Roy Woodsons of seasons past. Whether or not that deal will be matched is a different story.
According to former mayor Kevin Johnson, the Sacramento Kings have reportedly reached a max deal with Tua Tagovailoa and plan on retaining Erik Haynes and Donovan Mitchell at all costs.
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt: The Spidah is on the move East. He looks to join forces with the Orlando Magic after seeing a lucrative offer sheet from them. He felt he was disrespected by the Kings low-ball offer, ensuring them that if they matched an external team's offer sheet, he would sit out for a full season until traded. Drama is heating up.
Kevin Johnson also disclosed that Judd Williams has also been in Sacramento, and it was for more than just the walking tour of locations used in Ladybird. Rumor has it, Williams even took a lesser offer to go there, looking to contend with a young core that could win it all.
Sources out of New Orleans tell me that the Pelicans offered Winkler a max contract to show how seriously they appreciated his scoring impact last season. They're hoping his re-sign entices other RFAs to come to New Orleans where young, developing stars are treated right.
Getting different information on Judd Williams, hearing he's close to re-signing with his hometown Pacers
Jaylen Brown is looking to take his talents west.... of Boston. But he's staying in the east though. #Chicity
Tua says he wants to stay out West, but not sure where he'll end up. Sources say he's signed an offer sheet with a playoff team from last year.
Timothy Pulley has signed a MAX offer. No word yet on which team signed him, but the Bucks will have a decision to make...
Differing reports on Pulley. Hearing he did NOT sign a max. Stay tuned...
JR Johnson has signed with a team he thinks will compete for a ring. Spoiler alert: it's not the Jazz
