Another day, another absolute deluge of James Harden scuttlebutt from around the NBA. With the NBA Draft now just eight days away, things are starting to heat up.
A quick reminder: teams cannot talk to their own free agents about re-signing until June 30. Rival teams are not allowed to have discussions with their free agent targets until a few days later, starting on July 1.
We all know the NBA logistically can’t, so mostly does not, enforce these rules, other then to select a team or two (seemingly at random) each summer and dock them second-round picks.
