As of now, the only players to ever sign for more than Middleton's $178M deal are Russell Westbrook (5 yrs/$206.8M) and Stephen Curry (5 yrs/$201.2M). Middleton was the 39th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, making this the largest contract for a 2nd-round pick in NBA history.

Malcolm Brodgon has agreed to a four-year, $85M deal with Indiana, per sources.

If the Clippers fail to land No. 2, looks like they could be in big trouble, down to Plan F. So many good players have already signed elsewhere. If the Lakers don't sign No. 2, they still have LeBron and AD.

Miami is finalizing a sign-and-trade with Philadelphia to acquire Jimmy Butler, league sources tell ESPN.

The deal will include Josh Richardson to the 76ers, league sources tell ESPN.

Might have to check out the Miami heat games this year!!!😂😂😂

76ers not even playing!!!!!

Best part of the night is that cocky Heat fan is back. I missed you all.

Why can’t people just celebrate these guys getting paid? Instead of comparing and talking about who “deserves” what. You are worth whatever someone will pay you...but keep hating each other 🤐 young dudes (black or otherwise) getting multi millions is a beautiful sight

Jimmy Butler deal is complete with Heat -- with Clippers added as a fourth-team in trade that also includes Philadelphia and Portland, league sources tell Zach Lowe and me.

Don’t you feel like you know someone when you follow them on social media?

In the end, Toronto didn't have assets to satisfy OKC --- with or without Siakam in any proposed deal. The fear of Toronto entering into trade talks with OKC only proved to guarantee the Clippers would go the distance with five first-round picks and SGA in deal for George.

I love the NBA SHIT JUST GOT REAL INTERESTING!!!!

The Miami Heat had interest in Cousins, but several Lakers players -- including Anthony Davis -- helped convince him on joining LA, league sources tell ESPN.

Lakers have the whole New Orleans squad

Why do all the alcoholics and crackheads live forever and good hearted people die early?!
