Brooklyn “likely suitors” for Hachimura’s services. (via @TheSteinLine ) “Brooklyn keeps coming up as a likely suitor, too, for the Lakers' Rui Hachimura, league sources say.”
Keon Ellis to Brooklyn? “One anticipated landing spot for Ellis is Brooklyn, where the defensive-minded guard could reunite with Nets coach Jordi Fernández, who was an assistant in Sacramento during Ellis' Kings tenure.”( via @TheSteinLine )
Toronto Raptors forward Sandro Mamukelashvili is opting out of his $2.8 million player option and will hit the open market, per sources
The Thunder now project to be able to dodge the second apron by dumping Kenrich Williams (team option), Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber.
Bobby Marks who worked for the Nets at the time shared this wild story: "In 2002 in New Jersey we play the Lakers in the NBA Finals and they sweep us 4-0 and I'm walking in the hallway in that old arena and here comes Kobe carrying the trophy walks past me and he goes, hey you know I would have come right?" 🤯
Just in: Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein intends to sign a new three-year contract to return to the Thunder through 2028-29 that brings his total earnings with the franchise at five years and $134 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN. A key signing in 2024 leading to the 2025 championship, Thunder lock in the defensive anchor.
@BleacherReport have named Fred VanVleet the #1 player the Nets should trade for
“I think Brooklyn just put themselves back on the map with this kid (Brown) especially when it comes to free agents and guys around the league wanting to play with him after they see what he's capable of.”
Jalen Duren plans to explore sign-and-trade scenarios after contract negotiations have stalled out with the Pistons, per @sam_amick (nytimes.com/athletic/73969…). There is a large enough gap in value from Duren’s camp and Detroit where he feels like it’s best to now play elsewhere.
Detroit Pistons are conveying that Jalen Duren will not be moved and are solely focused on coming to terms on an agreement to keep their All-Star center, league sources tell me.
The Nets not being in on Aaron Wiggins or Isaiah Joe signals to me that they have other win-now moves cooking with their cap space. Brooklyn has 18 second-round picks and could have parted with several for either player.
