ESPN panel picks Golden State as likeliest to swing a big deadline deal

Golden State topped ESPN's summer forecast on which team is most likely to make a major move, drawing nine panelist points ahead of Detroit's four, with Boston and Houston on three each.

Ben Golliver outlined two paths for Mike Dunleavy Jr.: flipping Jimmy Butler's expiring contract plus assets for a star, or a smaller deal built around Kristaps Porzingis. No targets were attached, and Butler is still recovering from a torn ACL, as is Moses Moody from a ruptured patellar tendon.
