NBA FREE AGENCY:
Who are the biggest names on the market?
Duncan Robinson to Detroit
The Pistons have agreed to a three-year, $48 million deal with the former Michigan standout.
ESPN's Shams Charania reports
It's a sign-and-trade deal, with Simone Fontecchio going to Miami, per Charania.
Robinson had spent his entire seven-year NBA career with the Miami Heat. In 2024-25 he averaged 11 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 74 games (37 starts).
Robinson will likely come off the bench in Detroit, which seemingly turned to the longtime Heat player as a replacement for Malik Beasley.

Tre Mann returns to Charlotte
The Hornets are re-signing Mann on a three-year, $24 million deal.
ESPN's Shams Charania reports
Mann, the 18th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, arrived in Charlotte on trade deadline day 2024 in the deal that sent Gordon Hayward to Oklahoma City. He played in just 13 games during the 2024-25 season, none after November 21, due to a back injury. He averaged 14.1 points, 3 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 24.5 minutes.

Drew Eubanks to the Kings
Per
Shams Charania
, the
Los Angeles Clippers
may be waiving Drew Eubanks, but he's already found another California squad in the
Sacramento Kings
. Charania reports that Eubanks plans to sign a one-year deal with Sacramento after he clears waivers. Eubanks averaged 4.6 points per game with the Jazz and Clippers last season.
Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Nuggets
Tim Hardaway Jr. is joining his third team in three seasons, per
Shams Charania
, joining a
Denver Nuggets
squad that has already added Jonas Valanciunas, Cam Johnson, and Bruce Brown this offseason. Hardaway agreed to a one-year deal with the team. He averaged 11 points on 37% three-point shooting for the Pistons last year.
Bucks' Rollins becomes free agent
After originally offering Rollins a qualifying offer following his best season as a pro, the Bucks have reportedly rescinded said offer, making Rollins an unrestricted free agent, per
Chris Haynes
.
Rollins provided solid shooting off the bench in Milwaukee, hitting over 40% of his three-point attempts for the Bucks in 2025. Rollins will now be looking to join his fourth team in five years.
Jakob Poeltl remains in Toronto
Poeltl always seems to find his way north of the border. After spending the last three years in Toronto, it appears he'll be staying through the end of the decade after signing a four-year, $104 million extension through the 2029-30 season, per
Shams Charania
.
Charania also reports that there were many considerations for the deal, including an opt-out of the final year of his contract, followed by an extension. However, it seems Poeltl and the Raptors eventually settled on Poeltl accepting his player option for 2026-27 at $19.5 million followed by another three-year extension.
Bucks make two more moves after waiving Lillard
It seems the addition of Gary Harris was not enough. Within a span of about eight minutes, the Bucks traded away wing Pat Connaughton for point guard Vasilije Micic, per
Shams Charania
, then followed that up by adding center Jericho Sims on a two-year deal.
Nuggets trade for Jonas Valanciunas
In an effort to give Nikola Jokic a bit more help in the frontcourt next year, the Denver Nuggets have traded Dario Saric to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for veteran big man Jonas Valanciunas, per
Shams Charania
.
Dennis Schröder's contract details revealed
Yesterday, it was revealed that the Kings were looking for veteran guard help and were interested in both Dennis Schroder and Russell Westbrook. Today, the contract details for Schroder have been revealed. Per
Shams Charania
, Schroder, 31, is signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the team.
Bucks waive Damian Lillard to add Myles Turner
Bucks fans were ecstatic to learn that despite their salary issues, they were still able to secure veteran frontcourt help by signing Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million deal.
That excitement quickly transitioned to stunned silence when it was revealed that in order to pull off this move, the Bucks waived star guard Damian Lillard, per
Shams Charania
Lillard is nursing a torn Achilles he suffered in the first round of the playoffs, but will not return to Milwaukee.
To replace Lillard, the Bucks quickly signed Gary Harris to a two-year contract. However, this move did nothing to calm the anger of star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. According to
Chris Haynes
, the Greek Freak is "not pleased" with the Bucks' decision.
Gary Trent Jr. is returning to the Bucks.
Milwaukee retains another member of the 2024-25 team with the re-signing of Gary Trent Jr. He will sign a two-year, $7.5 million deal that includes a player option to return to Milwaukee.
Shams Charania reports
.
Trent is coming off one of his best seasons as a pro. He played in a career-high 74 games and averaged 11.1 points per game off the bench, including a 41.6% mark from 3-point range. He also tied a franchise playoff record when he made nine 3-pointers in Game 3 of the first-round series against the
Indiana Pacers
.
76ers add Trendon Watford
Philadelphia is adding an emerging forward in Trendon Watford. He will sign a two-year, $5.3 million deal with the 76ers.
Shams Charania reports
A reserve for most of his career, Watford had a breakout season in 2024-25 despite missing most of the first half of the season. He averaged a career-high 10.2 points per game.
Taurean Prince staying in Milwaukee
The Bucks will keep Taurean Prince on a two-year, $7.1 million deal, according to
Shams Charania
He played 80 games for Milwaukee last season, the most he has played since 2017-18. He averaged 8.2 points and 3.6 rebounds and gets to stay with assistant Darvin Ham, who he was with when Ham was coach of the
Los Angeles Lakers
.
Prince also reportedly has a player option for the second season.
Charlotte Hornets re-sign Mason Plumlee
Mason Plumlee is headed back to the Queen City, signing a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets.
Shams Charania
reports. Plumlee played for the Hornets from 2021-23 before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Luke Kennard joining Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta continues to make moves with the addition of Luke Kennard. The Hawks will sign the wing to a one-year, $11 million deal.
according to Shams Charania
.
Kennard spent the past two and a half seasons with the
Memphis Grizzlies
and solidified himself as one of the best sharpshooters in the league. He shot 43.3% from 3-point range during the 2024-25 season, the ninth-best mark in the NBA. He has shot at least 40% from beyond the arc over the past five seasons, including a league-high 44.9% from 3 in 2021-22.
Tyus Jones heads to Orlando
After starting 58 games for the Phoenix Suns last season, Jones is headed to an Eastern Conference contender in the Orlando Magic on a one-year, $7 million deal, per
Shams Charania
Jones has averaged more than 10 points per game in each of the last three seasons.
Atlanta gives $60 million to Nickeil Alexander-Walker
A solid scoring option off the bench for Minnesota, the Atlanta Hawks have acquired Nickeil Alexander-Walker via a sign-and-trade on a four-year, $62 million deal, per
Shams Charania
In just his seventh year in the league, Alexander-Walker is already joining his fifth team, but his first in the Eastern Conference.
In return, the Timberwolves are acquiring a 2027 second-round pick (via Cleveland) and cash.
Reports
also indicate that Hawks star Trae Young was heavily involved in the acquisition of Alexander-Walker.
Ty Jerome leaves Cavs for Grizzlies
Three years, $28 million. That's the deal for sought-after guard Ty Jerome, who will be moving to Tennessee to play with the Memphis Grizzlies, per
Shams Charania
.
Jerome was an elite shooter last season, nearly joining the 50-40-90 club (52% FG, 44% 3PT, 87% FT) during the regular season while playing crucial minutes for the Cavaliers. He played a significant role in helping the Cavaliers secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and is a major addition for a Grizzlies team that recently signed Jaren Jackson Jr. to a long-term deal.
Brook Lopez returns to Los Angeles
Former NBA champion Brook Lopez, 37, is headed back to the City of Angels, this time as a member of the Clippers after signing a two-year, $18 million deal, per
Shams Charania
Lopez spent the 2017-18 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, then spent the next seven seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, playing a significant role on the 2021 championship team.
Lopez will likely serve as a bench option for the Clippers behind Ivica Zubac.
Pistons lock up Caris LeVert

reports that the
Detroit Pistons
and free agent guard Caris LeVert have agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal. LeVert is familiar with the Detroit area, having spent his collegiate career at the University of Michigan.
Clint Capela returns to Houston
After five seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, free agent big man Clint Capela is returning to the Houston Rockets on a fully guaranteed, three-year, $21.5 million deal, per
Shams Charania
.
Capela played in just 55 games last season, his fewest since the COVID-shortened 2020 season. He spent most of last year battling a series of injuries.
Dennis Schroder to Sacramento
Early reports indicated that the Sacramento Kings were looking to add veteran guards this offseason. Well, they've begun with the addition of Dennis Schroder, per The Athletic's
Fred Katz
Although details of the agreement are still unknown, there have been reports that Sacramento's guard hunt will not end there. The Kings are also interested in adding Russell Westbrook to the fold for the 2025-26 season.
$41 million for Luke Kornet
The San Antonio Spurs have added depth behind Victor Wembanyama, signing center Luke Kornet, a member of the Boston Celtics' 2024 championship team, to a four-year, $41 million contract, according to
Shams Charania
.
Given the uncertainty regarding Wembanyama's blood clot in his shoulder, adding Kornet provides a bit of an immediate safety net, even though Wembanyama is considered likely to recover before the start of next year.
Kevon Looney's era in Golden State has come to an end
Longtime Golden State Warrior and three-time NBA champion Kevon Looney is leaving the West Coast for a two-year, $16 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, per
Shams Charania
Looney had been a starter for much of his last five years with Golden State before being relegated to a bench role in 2025, starting in only six games all of last season. Looney did still put up solid minutes though, averaging 15 minutes per game.
Jake LaRavia moves to Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers will reportedly sign Jake LaRavia to a two-year, $12 million deal, per
Shams Charania
LaRavia has always been a strong three-point shooter, which could come in handy as part of a team that finished outside the top-ten in three-point percentage a year ago.
D'Angelo Russell reunites with Anthony Davis in Dallas
With Kyrie Irving recovering from an ACL tear, the Dallas Mavericks have added some guard depth by
signing D'Angelo Russell
to a two-year, $13 million deal. Russell has experience playing with Davis, having each spent parts of the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Win-now Rockets continue to stack pieces
Days after they
agreed to trade for Kevin Durant
, the Rockets are bolstering their perimeter play — on both sides of the ball — by reportedly locking up forward Dorian Finney-Smith.
ESPN reports
the deal is worth four years and $53 million.
The Lakers had acquired Finney-Smith in a December 2024 trade.
that sent D'Angelo Russell to the Nets. Now, L.A. loses Finney-Smith, a reliable 3-and-D forward, to a conference rival preparing for a deep playoff run.
Pistons re-sign Paul Reed
After he stepped up in the playoffs with backup forward-center Isaiah Stewart sidelined due to a right knee injury, Paul Reed became a valuable fill-in for the Pistons. Detroit is rewarding Reed with a two-year, $11 million contract to return to the team.
per ESPN
.
Grizzlies secure key young players
The Grizzlies are continuing their roster overhaul. All-Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to sign a renegotiated, five-year, max contract extension worth $248 million.
according to ESPN
Jackson was on a favorable contract that he had outperformed.
Memphis' trade of Desmond Bane helped clear the cap space needed to make this deal happen.
The Grizzlies traded him to the Magic.
, but then — following a separate trade with the Trail Blazers — drafted Cedric Coward at No. 11 overall. Coward essentially becomes a low-cost replacement for Bane. Another corresponding salary cap maneuver being made to accommodate the Jackson deal is
a reported buyout to guard Cole Anthony
, whom Memphis had just acquired in the Bane trade.
ESPN also reports that
The Grizzlies also locked up backup forward Santi Aldama.
to a three-year, $52.5 million deal.
A scorer set to unexpectedly hit the market
It's not often that consistent, double-digit scorers hit the open market. But as the Utah Jazz continue to remake their roster, Jordan Clarkson has finalized a buyout.
according to the Athletic
, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Clarkson, 33, averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 37 games last season. Clarkson had carved out a role as Utah's sixth man and became known for providing a scoring spark off the bench. Given his ability to score off the bench, Clarkson could draw interest from contenders looking to bolster their depth.
Veteran Nicolas Batum returns for his 18th season
Forward Nicolas Batum, a steady presence off the bench for the Los Angeles Clippers, will sign a two-year deal worth $11.5 million, per ESPN.
Nets to re-sign Day'Ron Sharpe
After locking up one of their reserve forwards earlier Monday in Ziaire Williams, the Nets moved to do the same for backup center Day'Ron Sharpe.
ESPN reports
that Sharpe is set to sign a two-year deal to keep him in Brooklyn, worth $12 million.
Joe Ingles to return to Timberwolves
Veteran forward Joe Ingles will be playing his 12th season in the NBA, returning to the Minnesota Timberwolves on a one-year contract worth $3.6 million.
according to ESPN
.
Knicks forward
Josh Hart had a humorous reaction to the news.
, writing: "Man someone tell him to go ahead and retire already" in a social media post.
Ziaire Williams heading back to Brooklyn
Free agent forward Ziaire Williams is on the verge of signing a two-year, $12 million deal to return to the Brooklyn Nets.
ESPN reports
Williams, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2021 draft, averaged 10 points and 4.3 rebounds in 63 games with the Nets last season.
DeAndre Ayton set to test market
Center DeAndre Ayton is finalizing a buyout agreement with the Portland Trail Blazers,
according to ESPN
, which will make him a free agent -- and one of the more interesting players available.
Ayton was acquired by the Blazers in 2023 as part of a three-team trade with Phoenix and Milwaukee. He's played in only 95 games in two seasons with Portland, averaging 15.7 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. As part of the contract he signed with the Suns, Ayton was scheduled to make $35.6 million next season.
