As @JakeLFischer reported earlier this week, Kristaps Porziņģis remains immediately eligible to be traded and all signs point to Golden State ultimately finding a deal between now and the Feb. 11 trade deadline.

Really smart piece, again, from Jake
How many second-rounders would your team need to absorb $7.5 million in salary? Did our best to explore a wrinkle of the NBA’s trade market, after learning of talks on Monday that fell short of completion.

We almost went the whole week in the NBA without a single rookie scale extension. Then Oklahoma City and Cason Wallace got their deal done just now AND gave us the perfect spark for the latest Late Night NBA Intel.

did a very exciting work thing!!!
getting to write and narrate The Run for @BleacherReport has been amazing, and helping tell the story of this year’s Knicks championship run alongside KAT was especially cool.
watch Karl-Anthony Towns walk through the Knicks’ entire title run on B/R’s YouTube channel! he did an incredible job capturing the magic of the moment and reminding us why we love sports.

At least one more to add your list: How Dallas, with 15 standard contracts already, proceeds with Mavs lifer Dwight Powell.
As we've reported previously: Connaughton is a Kon Knueppel favorite held in similarly high regard in Charlotte.
More from us: tinyurl.com/4xn9zj29
The Clippers waiving Cam Christie leaves Charlotte, Milwaukee, Memphis and the Lakers as the most pertinent back-of-roster situations NBA personnel are monitoring before Oct. 19. Have heard the Bucks, Lakers and Grizzlies all exploring trades. Hornets have to weigh the locker room value of retaining Pat Connaughton.

Another mutual option, this time in Brandin Podziemski's extension with the Warriors. @JakeLFischer did a great job outlining the comeback of mutual option for @TheSteinLine in the piece linked below!
The main reason I wanted to explore this wonky cap provision: Numerous NBA front offices did not know this was a possible option under the league’s collective bargaining agreement.

The @TheSteinLine + @JakeLFischer Substack is a must-read for NBA fans. They’re constantly reporting on potential signings, trades, changes in the wind before the news comes to fruition.
Glass Break: @JakeLFischer has signed a multiyear deal to continue reporting on NBA with @TheSteinLine’s Substack, @FOS has learned. They first linked up in 2024.
Fischer first broke the news that the Raptors wanted to re-acquire Kawhi Leonard. He also works as an NBA insider for Bleacher Report.

Nikola Jokić reiterates tonight in Serbia that he intends to be a Nugget for life but also confirms the recent report from @JakeLFischer and me about delaying a contract extension.
Jokić says that, like last summer, he plans to put the signing off until after the coming season.
Nikola Jokic: "My idea is to sign next summer and stay with Denver for the rest of my career."

League sources tell @TheSteinLine that Rui Hachimura prioritized staying in Los Angeles and chose the Clippers over interest from Brooklyn and Dallas as well as interest we previously reported from Golden State/Minnesota.

LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul, on his latest podcast episode, tells Max Kellerman on Game Over that the Knicks “have checked in” and would have been LeBron’s choice in free agency if they hadn’t just won the championship.
Rich Paul on LeBron's next team:
“If the Knicks hadn’t won, there would be no board. He’d be going to the Knicks."

The Mavericks have emerged as a suitor for Anfernee Simons, league sources say.
As @JakeLFischer reported yesterday, Golden State and Miami have continued to pursue the free agent scoring guard who finished last season with Chicago.

The Mavericks, I’m told, are expected to secure former Pelicans coach Willie Green as a top assistant for Dusty May’s first NBA coaching staff.
The Warriors hoped to bring him back for a second stint on Steve Kerr’s staff but May’s jump to the NBA gave Green two strong options.
Former Pelicans coach Willie Green, who has been pursued by Golden State to rejoin Steve Kerr's staff as an assistant, also has interest from Dallas as new Mavericks coach Dusty May assembles his first NBA staff, league sources say.
Former Bucks coach Adrian Griffin and Heat consultant Noah LaRoche have likewise been mentioned as expected candidates for May's bench in Dallas. As @TheSteinLine previously reported, LaRoche was part of the monthlong interview process that eventually led to May's hiring.

In this story posted earlier I wrote about #Cavs discussing Max Strus and Dennis Schroder in trades.
Yes, #Cavs are open to bringing LeBron James back after he told the Lakers he won’t play with them this coming season. But can cap-strapped Cleveland make it work?
