Knicks, Timberwolves, Bulls, Pistons interested in Donte DiVincenzo
In some ways, it starts with Josh Hart. Hart, Donte DiVincenzo’s college teammate at Villanova, has a $13 million player option for 2023-24. He was widely expected to opt out of the deal and become a free agent. But the Knicks and Hart recently agreed to push the date to decide on the option to Thursday. This suggests that Hart’s decision could impact a corresponding move for New York. I assume that corresponding move involves making a run at DiVincenzo. As SNY reported, prominent members of the Knick organization are in favor of pursuing DiVincenzo in free agency. There is mutual interest between the Knicks and DiVincenzo.

GSW went 15-10 in games Donte DiVincenzo started last season. Warriors outscored opponents by 157 points in those games when DiVincenzo was on the floor. There’s mutual interest between DiVincenzo & the Knicks, but NYK will have competition for the FA: sny.tv/articles/rippl… – 2:45 PM

As expected, Donte DiVincenzo declined his $4.7M PO with the Warriors. Using his non-bird rights (starting at 120% of his previous salary) the max Golden State can offer him is 4yrs/$23.2M.
This is $30M less than a team with the full NTMLE, which could offer him 4yrs/$53.3M. – 6:07 PM

“I always want our players to be in the best position possible going forward. I’m very happy for Donte that he’s put himself in a good spot.”
Steve Kerr has known the likely inevitable with Donte DiVincenzo. From the end of March: nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-sta… – 5:57 PM

More on this storyline
New York will have competition. Minnesota, Chicago and Detroit are among the teams with interest in DiVincenzo, as other outlets have reported. Minnesota and Chicago both could have access to the non-taxpayer midlevel exception. Detroit projects to have cap space and could exceed the amount of the exception available to New York, Chicago and Minnesota. -via SportsNet New York / June 28, 2023
Anil Gogna: As expected, Donte DiVincenzo declined his $4.5M PO with the Warriors. Using his non-bird rights (starting at 120% of his previous salary) the max Golden State can offer him is 4yrs/$23.2M. This is $30M less than a team with the full NTMLE, which could offer him 4yrs/$53.3M. -via Twitter @AnilGognaNBA / June 27, 2023
Bobby Marks: Because Donte DiVincenzo accrued non-bird rights, the most Golden St. offer in a new contract is $5.4M. Golden St. enters free agency $14.7M over the luxury tax. Roster resources: – Draymond Green – Vet minimum exception – 2nd rd exception (T. Jackson-Davis) -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / June 27, 2023
