"...I would even say it's less than a 1% chance at this point that they could make a sign or trade for Jonathan Kuminga." - Brett Siegel on Locked On Suns Podcast yesterday talking about the Suns chances to land Jonathan Kuminga 🎙

"It was definitely difficult. I've been on winning teams my entire life. That was my first year ever going through that." Spoke with Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey about the launch of his New Balance "Hero Pack" and the upcoming Sixers season. clutchpoints.com/nba/philadelph…

Celtics trading Georges Niang does a few things for them: 1) Creates an $8.2M TPE 2) Moves them about $1.8M over the first apron 3) Now $10.1M from the second apron This was a cap trade for the Celtics to inch closer to moving out of the first apron completely.

Some added details here: Teams are just genuinely interested in seeing how Pat Riley does business with Tyler Herro after the Jimmy Butler situation. A decision to extend Herro and the timing of it will help dictate what moves the Heat make during the 25-26 season.

Boston and New York have been at the forefront of conversations surrounding Ben Simmons. After the Celtics just signed Chris Boucher, it appears as if the Knicks are the favorites to bring in Simmons on a minimum contract.

Trading for Georges Niang, who the Jazz will be holding onto entering the 25-26 season, puts Utah at 16 roster spots. It is expected that Kevin Love will be bought out soon. Where Love ends up is a question mark, as sources say he wants to be in Los Angeles. More on Kevin Love:

What was said about Kevin Love: "Word around the league surrounding Love is that he wants to end up in Los Angeles, sources said." The problem is that both LA teams can't outright sign him right now. More details below ⬇️

The best in the business when it comes to cap sheets. I only use Yossi Gozlan and his work.

Words from yesterday on ClutchPoints about where the Jonathan Kuminga-Warriors situation stands and what the most likely outcome is:

The Spurs officially announce they have signed Harrison Ingram and Riley Minix to two-way contracts for the 2025-26 NBA season.

One of the bigger names remaining in NBA free agency is Russell Westbrook. Where will the triple-double king end up, and could he become a key talent on a contending roster once more? Here are the four spots that make the most sense for Russ: clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…

Because the longer Kuminga waits, the more his value declines. It's a mental game. Taking the QO would be a terrible decision, as it never works well for RFAs wanting to be paid. He could take the QO, but as we've reported a few times now, it seems more like a bluff.

The Celtics-Jazz trade involving Georges Niang and two second-round picks for RJ Luis Jr. (two-way contract) is complete. Utah will receive picks in 2027 and 2031 from Boston. Both picks are the more favorable of certain selections in their respective years.

The Wizards are signing Anthony Gill to a 1-year contract after waiving him earlier this offseason, league sources told ClutchPoints. First was Michael Scotto. Wizards now have 16 players under contract, with Justin Champagnie's deal being non guaranteed.

We have a new ClutchPoints series breaking down the RFA market and discussing what makes the most sense on a new contract. The first story is about none other than Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors. Here is the contract Kuminga should take: clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-sta…

What would a fair deal for Josh Giddey and the Bulls look like late this offseason? In our second installment of the RFA showcase on ClutchPoints, we examine a contract proposal for Giddey and his situation in Chicago: clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bu…

Haven’t heard anything on that front. Bulls have continuously told teams Giddey will be their PG moving forward. If there are any new updates on this, we’ll have you covered at ClutchPoints coming out of the weekend.
