The NBA offseason is officially underway, which means we will see plenty of trades and signings.
Here is what has happened recently:
Trades:
LaMelo Ball and Naz Reid have been traded!
Minnesota Receive:
LaMelo Ball (2022 All-Star)
Josh Green
Hornets Receive:
Naz Reid (2024 Sixth Man of the Year)
2033 first-round pick
3 first-round pick swaps
3 second-round picks
The Detroit Pistons traded Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for 3 future second-round picks. He averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks on 55% shooting for the team last season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder traded Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons for two future second-round picks. He is a great shooter who averaged 11 points and shot 42% from 3 this past season.
Signings / Extensions:
Austin Reaves is signing a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the Lakers.
He averaged 23.3 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds on 49% shooting for the team last season.
I think this was a good choice for him, and I believe he could be an all-star in the near future. (probably after LeBron leaves/retires)
Coby White is signing a 3-year $74M deal to return to the Charlotte Hornets. He averaged 17 points and 4 assists in 25 minutes per game last season.
Jose Alvarado is signing a 3-year, $14M deal to return to the Knicks. He overall played pretty well this season and played a big part in the Knicks 29-point comeback in Game 4 of the Finals.
Isaiah Hartenstein is signing a 3-year, $75M contract to return to the OKC Thunder. He averaged 9 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists for the team last season.
Al Horford is signing a 2-year, $14M deal to stay with the Golden State Warriors
Mark Williams is signing a 3-year $38M contract to return to the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal on 64% shooting last season.
Ron Harper Jr. is signing a 3-year, $9M deal to return to the Boston Celtics.
Top 3 Draft Picks:
