Bucks Ready & Willing To Do Sign-and-Trade Deal With Pistons
The Jalen Duren stalemate continues to drag on in Detroit, even after the Pistons came up to the player's stated minimum contract requirement, $200 million (over five years). Still, Duren has not accepted. It appears that the relationship is so frayed at this point after a summer of contentious negotiations that Duren wants to move on. To do that, there are only two options: Convince the Pistons to make a sign-and-trade deal to send him elsewhere (which they really don't want to do), or ...
Top 3 Trade Targets Named for Lakers This Season
The Los Angeles Lakers go into the season pretty confident about their roster.

NBA Seriously Investigating Bucks' Sketchy Contract With Gary Trent Jr.
The LA Clippers/Kawhi Leonard fiasco left the NBA with a black eye, the Clippers, in particular. But is there another cap circumvention scandal about to blow up? According to Joe Vardon in The Athletic , the Bucks' penalties may be even worse than the Clippers' if they are found guilty. The NBA is looking into a potential cap-circumvention violation by the Milwaukee Bucks and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who inked a four-year, $64 million guaranteed contract in July that raised t...
Lonzo Ball Addresses His 'Retirement Announcement'
Lonzo Ball was the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. His career, however, never got to where it could have gone due to a chronic and mysterious knee injury that knocked him out for close to three years. On Wednesday, he made comments on a podcast that sounded very much like a retirement announcement. Listen for yourself: Lonzo Ball indicates he's done with basketball: "I feel like I gave everything I had to hoop, and I feel like everything I got in my life is because of hoop. I’m grat...
Toronto Raptors Make Major Kawhi Leonard Announcement
Last week, it was finally confirmed that Kawhi Leonard had returned to the Toronto Raptors after the trade with the LA Clippers officially went through after a 2 1/2 month delay. On Tuesday, the Raptors announced that Leonard will be spending the next three seasons in Toronto, as the two sides have agreed on a two-year, $115 million extension.

Jalen Duren's Next Move With Pistons Is 'Up in the Air'
The Detroit Pistons have upped their offer to restricted free agent Jalen Duren. Now at $200 million over five years. That is exactly what he was asking for, at the minimum. But according to insider Shams Charania, that STILL might not be enough to re-sign him. Shams update on Jalen Duren: "The Pistons and Jalen Duren are at an impasse and it's highly up in the air and questionable as to whether he will be reporting and showing up for media day in just 7 days...over the course of this off...
Top 3 NBA Wing Trade Canadidates in 2026-27
As the 2026-27 NBA regular season approaches, front offices across the league are evaluating their rosters to find missing championship pieces. High-impact wings who can space the floor and defend multiple positions are always a sought-after trade commodity. Here, we take a look at three of the top names at that spot who enter the new campaign as likely trade candidates. Michael Porter Jr. (Brooklyn Nets) Porter Jr. proved, on his arrival in Brooklyn, that he could be a legit high-...
Proposed Trade Sends Kyrie Irving To Detroit Pistons
The Dallas Mavericks say they want to see how the team looks with the nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving pairing up with Rookie of the Year phenom Cooper Flagg. But with the future centered on building around the 19-year-old Flagg, how much longer will the 34-year-old Irving be around? The veteran is much more suited to a team looking for one big move to make them a serious championship contender. A team that needs a legit shot creator and scorer to take the pressure off their superstar. A ...
NBA Exec: Trail Blazers Have 'Itchy Trigger Finger' In Trade Market
Most NBA rosters are pretty much set at this point as teams prepare for the opening of training camps within 10 days. But there's at least one team with an "itchy trigger finger" to pull a huge trade, according to one NBA executive. Sean Deveney reports in heavy.com that a Western Conference exec feels that the Portland Trail Blazers—even after their big splash of trading for Ja Morant this summer—need to do even more to get the attention of fans in the Pacific Northwest. I think t...
Proposed Spurs Clippers Trade Would Send De’Aaron Fox to LA
The San Antonio Spurs made a run to the NBA Finals last season. One would figure they're pretty happy with their lineup as constructed, with natural progression for the young dynamic players in their backcourt, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. But what about De'Aaron Fox and the four-year, $221M extension that kicks in this year? Are the Spurs regretting it? Bill Simmons is suggesting a Spurs/LA Clippers trade that could work for both teams: Bill Simmons suggests the Clippers and S...

Pistons Turn Down Trade for 3-Time All-Star
The Detroit Pistons have a Jalen Duren problem. Their starting center is a restricted free agent and is refusing to accept anything less than $200 million on a new contract. The Pistons aren't prepared to go that high (very, very close, yes, but $200M, no). According to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points, the Pistons turned down a sign-and-trade offer from the Sacramento Kings (who ARE willing to give Duren that max contract) that would have sent three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis to Detroit.&nbs...
Knicks Bringing 5 Free Agents To Camp On Deals
At least no one can accuse the New York Knicks of resting on their laurels. Even though most of the NBA champion squad is still intact, the Knicks have set themselves up for quite the battle in training camp. They have brought in five notable free agents on Exhibit 9 deals for training camp. An Exhibit 9 is basically a training camp tryout. The New York Knicks have signed the following players to Exhibit 9 contracts: - Bruce Brown - Ochai Agbaji - James Wiseman - Drew Eubanks - John Konchar ht...

Report: Jalen Duren Prepared To Take HUGE Gamble
The confrontational talks between restricted free agent Jalen Duren and the Detroit Pistons are still at an impasse. With the Pistons offering the young center a $190 million deal over five years, Duren is standing firm on wanting at least $200 million. Instead, then, it sounds like he's willing to take a huge gamble, and leave $180M on the table. Jalen Duren is reportedly confident that the Kings will offer him a max contract next summer, per @JakeLFischer (Via @Bleac...

Steve Ballmer Makes First Public Statement (& What It Means For Kawhi Leonard Trade)

I want to apologize to our fans, employees, and my fellow NBA team owners for the distraction and distress th...
Miami Heat A Contender To Sign Son of Former Guard & Assistant Coach
The Miami Heat aren't done filling out their roster just yet. And they could be looking at adding a familiar name and a familiar face, of sorts. According to reports from Heat insider Ira Winderman, they could be in the market to sign free agent Devin Carter, the son of former Heat guard and assistant coach Anthony Carter. "The Miami Heat have both the salary-cap and roster-space wherewithal to make a move for [Devin Carter], the son of former Heat assistant coach Anthony Carter," per @I...

There are many teams around the NBA at this time of year that have big playoff hopes, but still need to fill a specific need or two.

The trade would look like this: Atlanta Hawks receive: Fred VanVleet Luka Garza Houston Rockets receive: Cor...
Recent 24 PPG Scorer May Have To Head Overseas As NBA Interest Dries Up
Recently the top scoring threat of the Brooklyn Nets, unrestricted free agent Cam Thomas has found "little to no interest" on the open market. His next move could be an unexpected one. Cam Thomas continues to receive little to no interest as a 24 year old unrestricted free agent. Thomas, who was cut by the Nets and Bucks last season after taking his qualifying offer, might have to go overseas to the EuroLeague in order to rehabilitate his current NBA image. pic.twitter.com/aXGH3Edv6v — E...
Frontrunner emerges to sign former lottery pick in free agency
The Atlanta Hawks surprisingly waived former lottery pick Devin Carter on Friday, and it sounds like the Boston Celtics are interested in signing the promising elite defensive combo guard once he clears waivers. The gritty, high-motor 6'2" guard has a 6'9" wingspan, which allows him to disrupt opposing ball-handlers and to crash the boards and otherwise play fierce, competitive defense. He would do quite well in the Celtics' system under head coach Joe Mazzulla. The Ce...
