The Golden State Warriors have interest in D'Angelo Russell in a potential sign-and-trade scenario with the Brooklyn Nets.

Kevin Durant has agreed to sign with the Nets, but the Warriors have long expressed interest in a sign-and-trade should he decide to leave.

Russell has also received interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers.

Kawhi Leonard will not take any formal free agency meetings on Sunday.

Leonard's process is expected to develop over the next few days. Leonard is already in Los Angeles and won't rush his decision-making.

Leonard has been most closely linked with the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.

Magic Johnson, however, did speak with Leonard and Dennis Robertson.

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving spoke with each other since the end of their respective seasons, sources tell Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

The conversation was described by sources as "cordial and casual (but) never elevated to the level of LeBron trying to convince Kyrie to re-join him on the Lakers."

It seemed apparent that Irving had his sights set on the Brooklyn Nets.

The phone call Irving made to James opened the door on the possibility of the two of them reuniting. But taking a meeting wit hthe Lakers and possibly James would have had him go back on what led him to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017.

Kawhi Leonard initially reached out to the Los Angeles Lakers requesting a meeting with only Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson in attendance.

Johnson can speak with Leonard, but not attend a formal meeting with the Lakers.

Rob Pelinka reached out to Leonard's camp at the start of free agency. Leonard's camp is now considering expanding the meeting to include Pelinka.

ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports that the Lakers are "all-in" on pursuit of Leonard.

Update: Johnson spoke with Leonard and his uncle, Dennis Robertson, on Sunday. The trio had a positive discussion about the direction of the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have reached out to D'Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley and Seth Curry to line up free agency meetings.

The Lakers have $32 million in cap space and are prioritizing Kawhi Leonard.

The Lakers are not likely to offer Russell a maximum contract, which would start at $27.285 million.

Beverley is seeking a contract worth approximately $12 million to $13 million per year.

The Los Angeles Clippers are exploring the possibility of signing both Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

Leonard reportedly wanted to be joined by another elite free agent if he leaves the Toronto Raptors for the Clippers.

Jerry West is known to be an admirer of Butler.

The Clippers' interest in Butler had previously waned based on previous reports over the past few months.

Leonard and Kevin Durant have also been in touch about the possibility of teaming up with either the New York Knicks or Clippers.

Leonard also has interest in joining LeBron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers.

Jimmy Butler is expected to meet with the Miami Heat on Sunday to open free agency.

Butler will meet with the Houston Rockets later in the week.

Both the Heat and Rockets would need the Philadelphia 76ers to facilitate a sign-and-trade for Butler.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are also interested in Butler, according to Shams Charania.

The Brooklyn Nets are expected to part ways with D'Angelo Russell once they receive a commitment from Kyrie Irving.

The Nets have no intention of keeping Russell to pair with Irving.

Brooklyn will help facilitate Russell getting to his preferred destination.

The Los Angeles Lakers have interest in Russell and have enough cap space to sign him. The Lakers traded away Russell in 2017.

The Minnesota Timberwolves also have interest in Russell.

The Los Angeles Lakers plan on prioritizing their pursuit of Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving as free agency begins.

"My understanding is they'll spend that $32 million on a max player if it is Kawhi Leonard or Kyrie Irving," said Ramona Shelburne on The Jump. "If it's not one of those two players, things get a little more complicated. They'd rather split that up.

"Now, there's some discussion about Jimmy Butler, but it's really Kawhi or Kyrie Irving.

"If you're waiting on Kawhi and you're waiting on Kyrie, and you don't get either of them, you might miss on Darren Collison or Danny Green or DeAndre Jordan, or any of those other pieces you'd be looking at on the second tier."

Irving is widely expected to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, but there have been links with him considering the Lakers.

Kawhi Leonard requested the presence of only Magic Johnson and Jeanie Buss attend his meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers.

NBA rules forbid Johnson from being part of official team meetings with prospective free agents.

Johnson was not asked by the Lakers or Buss to participate in free agency pitches.

"A friend of mine called and says Kawhi wants to meet with you," Johnson told ESPN on Friday. "I said no problem. I'm available if that's what this man wants."
