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...
Denver Nuggets Sign One Of Top Remaining Free Agents, Former 1st Rounder
The Denver Nuggets have brought in one of the top remaining free agents, signing former first-round pick Cam Whitmore to a two-way deal, per Shams Charania. The Denver Nuggets are signing 2023 first-round pick Cam Whitmore on a two-way NBA deal, sources tell ESPN.

Pelicans Lock Up 3-and-D Scorer to $55M Extension
The New Orleans Pelicans have locked up one of their starters for another three years, coming to terms with Saddiq Bey on a $55 million extension. Just In: Saddiq Bey has signed a three-year, $55.5M contract extension with the New Orleans Pelicans. pic.twitter.com/Xevsgnv9hm — NBARetweet (@RTNBA) September 17, 2026 Bey came back last year after missing the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL. All he did was post a career-high 17.7 points per game, playing his physical 3-and-D game. He averag...
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...
One Team Rises Among The Rest To Sign Free Agent John Konchar
Earlier on Tuesday, we heard that a number of Eastern Conference contenders, including the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, and Toronto Raptors, were showing interest in sought-after free agent John Konchar. The tenacious defender and rebounding wing has made his choice, and he's going with the defending NBA champions. Free agent forward John Konchar has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks, agent George S. Langberg of @GSLSportsGroup tells ESPN. Koncha...
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...
Done Deal! Clippers & Raptors Finall Agree To Complete Kawhi Leonard Trade
It's finally done. The Los Angeles Clippers have finally agreed to finalize their deal, originally made on June 30th, to send Kawhi Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors. Done deal: The LA Clippers and Raptors have both agreed to complete the trade sending Kawhi Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, per ESPN sources. The sides will now schedule a trade call. — Shams Charania (@ShamsChara...
Steve Ballmer Makes First Public Statement (& What It Means For Kawhi Leonard Trade)
Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has opened up about the severe punishment the NBA hammered his team with over the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention scandal. He penned a social media post overnight explaining where they're at: For my Los Angeles Clippers followers This has been a very difficult time for everybody associated with the Clippers, and for that, I have sincere regrets. 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...
3-Team, 7-Player Proposed Trade Would Send Fred VanVleet To Hawks
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. With that in mind, Jackson Caudell of Sports Illustrated.com has taken three of those teams and constructed a proposed deal that would shuffle up several notable players, including sending a former NBA champion to the Atlanta Hawks. 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...
Timeline Revealed As Phoenix Suns Lose $38M Free Agent Signing For Extended Period
A brutal break for the Phoenix Suns. Just two months after re-signing restricted free agent Mark Williams to a three-year, $38 million deal, the 24-year-old center has had surgery to repair a torn labrum and will be out for at least five months. Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss an extended period of time, sources tell ESPN. Williams suffered the injury in an offseason workout. pic.twitter.com/iXVlVVItv4 — Sh...
U.S. Federal Justice Dept. Opens Criminal Investigation Into Clippers Scandal
Uh oh. The LA Clippers' cap circumvention scandal just got a whole lot more serious. The United States Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into allegations that the Clippers helped arrange "secret contracts" for Kawhi Leonard to circumvent the NBA's salary cap. Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into allegations that the Los Angeles Clippers helped arrange secret sponsorship contracts for Kawhi Leonard that circumvented the salary cap, according to p...
Insider Says Clippers Considering Something 'Drastic' In Kawhi Raptors Trade Delay
Another day, another Kawhi Leonard and Clippers rumor. And this one is sounding more ominous for the Toronto Raptors and the pending trade that's been on hold for couple of months. It was thought that the resolution of the cap circumvention scandal with last week's punishments imposed by the NBA would free up the trade to go through. But Insider Marc Stein suggests that the Clippers are holding off on the trade and perhaps even “considering something even more drastic” to spite Kawhi Leonard. ...
Why Hasn't The Kawhi Leonard Trade To Raptors Gone Through Yet?
The Los Angeles Clippers are fuming. They're angry at the NBA for the heavy-handed punishment handed down to them for the cap circumvention scandal. And they're super peeved at Kawhi Leonard. But now that the penalties have been handed down by commissioner Adam Silver and Leonard is free of any suspension or contract voiding, it was thought that the paused trade to send Kawhi to the Toronto Raptors would be going through. However, that's not been the case. Jake Fischer of Bleache...
3 Trade Destinations For Domantas Sabonis
Three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis wants out of Sacramento. That seems to be the prevailing notion, particularly after he switched agents this summer to Aaron Mintz of CAA. That's the same agent that engineered a Trae Young trade out of Atlanta last season, and the one who got Walker Kessler dealt from Utah to the LA Lakers. Sabonis is eligible for a contract extension, but there isn't one forthcoming at this point from the Kings, who are building a young core. Let's have a look ...
One Team Said 'No, Thanks' To a Trade For Trae Young
The Washington Wizards have embraced Trae Young after trading for him at last season's deadline. They've even signed him to a massive four-year, $212.8 million contract extension this summer. But despite their desperate need for a point guard at the time, and their strong desire to move off of one of their lead-weight contracts, the Sacramento Kings weren't the least bit interested in trading for Young at the deadline. REPORT: The Kings rejected a Trae Young for Zach LaVine trade, ...
Pelicans & Grizzlies Swing 4-Player Trade
The New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a four-player trade that will also involve future draft assets. The New Orleans Pelicans are trading Jordan Hawkins, Micah Peavy, a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies for AJ Johnson and Taj Gibson, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/JLvDjv9clc — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) September 8, 2026 New Orleans is sending guard Jordan Hawkins, rookie Micah Peavy, a future second-round pi...
Proposed Spurs, Pelicans Blockbuster Gets Two 20 PPG Scorers to San Antonio
The San Antonio Spurs made the big leap last season to reach the NBA Finals, before coming up short. But are the Victor Wembanyama-led Spurs ready to really win it all, as constructed? Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report has proposed a blockbuster deal with the New Orleans Pelicans that would, as he says, make the Spurs "championship-ready." It would go down like this : San Antonio Spurs Acquire: Trey Murphy III Dejounte Murray New Orleans Pelicans Acquire: De'Aaron Fox Luke Ko...
Free Agent Bruce Brown Linked To One Contender In Each Conference
Bruce Brown is one of the top remaining free agents in the NBA, with a championship ring to speak of. He returned to the Denver Nuggets this past season after leaving in free agency, following a crucial role in their 2023 NBA title. But so far, he's still available on the open market. Two teams are now being linked to Brown, one contender in each conference. Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report recently reported that the LA Lakers have turned their attention to Brown after missing out o...
Jalen Duran 'Doesn't... Want To Be In Detroit Long Term': Insider
The Jalen Duren/Detroit Pistons standoff is getting more and more intense. The Pistons are willing to give Duren $35M a year on a five-year deal. The player wants $40M+. Neither side is budging. It's at the point, per insider Brett Siegel, where Duren doesn't even want to be in Detroit for much longer. Jalen Duren and his camp “don’t necessarily” want to be in Detroit long-term because they do NOT feel valued, per @BrettSiegelNBA pic.twitter.com/uyKSkaPtE1 — Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass...
