Sources say talks between Wallace's camp and the Thunder, meanwhile, have begun in the $25 million range in annual average value ... inspired by recent signees such as Atlanta's Dyson Daniels (an All-NBA defender like Wallace) and Denver's Christian Braun. Can Wallace ultimately secure a new contract that pays more than $25 million annually? How far shy will the pact ultimately land compared to George's new five-year, $158 million deal in Utah? Sources say those are key questions to be resolved in these final negotiation stages.

By sending Dort to Atlanta, the Thunder opened up more playing time for rising young guards Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace, including a starting spot. Wallace, an All-Defensive Team selection, is extension eligible. Comparable guards to Wallace who’ve signed recent contract extensions include Dyson Daniels and Christian Braun, who both signed for $25 million per season, and Jalen Suggs, who signed for $30 million annually. Should Wallace enter restricted free agency next year, he’d be a highly coveted player. Various teams have called the Thunder through Wallace’s tenure to gauge what it would take to pry him from the franchise, as previously mentioned on HoopsHype.

Sources also say the Hawks are likely to re-sign C.J. McCollum, allowing them to bring a young guard along slowly while also giving him opportunities to run the second unit. Flemings’ ability to pressure the rim with his speed would fit wonderfully with Jalen Johnson, Jonathan Kuminga and other high-level athletes on the Hawks’ roster. Atlanta could use a downhill, athletic guard next to McCollum, Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Much like many of the guards, Flemings is seen as unlikely to fall outside the top 10.

Malik Brown: Dyson on the team continuing to trust the process over the last two seasons: “It’s not all going to happen in one year. You got to build towards something. If you look at how we were last year and compared to this year, we took a step forward. I just think the biggest thing is the learning experience guys gained from this and we know how physical and what it's going to be like in the playoffs now.”
