Warriors Exercising 2025/26 Option On Quinten Post
The Warriors are picking their 2025/26 team option on big man Quinten Post, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (via Twitter). The move ensures that Post’s $1.96MM salary for next season will be fully guaranteed.
Post was the 52nd overall pick of last year’s draft out of Boston College. The 25-year-old spent most of his rookie season on a two-way deal with Golden State, but was promoted to a two-year standard contract in February.
In 42 regular season games last season, including 14 starts, the Dutch center averaged 8.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per contest. Notably, he shot a team-best 40.8% from three-point range, providing a different look in the front court as a stretch five.
While Post’s roster spot seems secure after having the option exercised, the Warriors could still undergo a number of changes this offseason, with eight more players who could become free agents. The only other team option decision still pending is forward Gui Santos, whose $2.2MM salary for next season is non-guaranteed.
Rockets Sign Cameron Matthews
JULY 13: Houston officially announced its signing of Matthews in a press release.
JUNE 27: Former Mississippi State forward Cameron Matthews is signing with the Rockets, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link), who says the defensive standout will be given a chance to compete for a two-way contract in training camp after he went undrafted last night. That reporting implies Matthews has agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal.
Matthews spent all five of his college seasons with the Bulldogs, averaging 7.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 steals in 29.4 minutes per game across 34 appearances in 2024/25. While he isn’t a great scorer or shooter (.533/.200/.556 career splits), he does contribute in multiple areas and earned All-Defensive honors in the SEC each of the past two seasons.
The 23-year-old was not ranked on ESPN’s big board, but he came in at No. 83 on Sam Vecenie of The Athletic‘s top-100 guide.
The Exhibit 10 language in Matthews’ contract means that he could earn a bonus worth up to $85K if he’s waived before the season starts and spends at least 60 days with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Houston’s NBA G League affiliate. As Scotto noted, Exhibit 10s can also be converted into two-way deals.
Tyson Degenhart Joins Raptors On Exhibit 10 Deal
SEPTEMBER 22: Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (via Twitter) reports that Degenhart’s deal is now official.
JUNE 27: A pair of undrafted free agents are signing non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contracts with the Raptors for training camp in the fall.
According to Tony Jones of The Athletic (Twitter link), Alabama big man Clifford Omoruyi will be joining Toronto. Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com confirms (via Twitter) that Omoruyi is signing an Exhibit 10 deal.
Former Boise State forward Tyson Degenhart tells B.J. Rains of Bronco Nation News that he has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors as well (Twitter link).
A Nigerian center, Omoruyi spent his first four college seasons at Rutgers, earning Big Ten All-Defensive honors in back-to-back years (2023 and 2024) prior to transferring to Alabama. As fifth-year senior in 2024/25, he averaged 7.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 19.2 minutes per game across 37 appearances for the Crimson Tide.
Omoruyi was No. 66 on ESPN’s big board entering the draft, but was not ranked on Sam Vecenie of The Athletic‘s top-100 guide.
As for Degenhart, he spent four years with the Broncos, averaging 18.3 PPG and 6.1 RPG on .526/.349/.797 shooting in 37 games last season as a senior (33.6 MPG). He was unranked by both ESPN and The Athletic.
Exhibit 10 deals enable players to receive a bonus worth up to $85K if they’re waived before the season begins and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G League affiliate (Raptors 905). E10s can also be converted into two-way contracts.
Raptors Part Ways With Team President Masai Ujiri
9:05 am: The Raptors have put out a press release officially confirming that they’ve parted ways with Ujiri.
“During his 13 seasons with the Raptors, Masai has helped transform the organization on the court and has been an inspirational leader off it,” MLSE president and CEO Keith Pelley said in a statement. “He brought an NBA Championship to Toronto and urged us to believe in this city, and ourselves. We are grateful for all he has done and wish him and his family the very best. As we plan for the franchise’s future, and its return to the NBA Playoffs, a search for the successor as president of the Raptors, led by CAA Executive Search, will begin immediately.”
According to the announcement, the Raptors’ other top executives, including Webster, remain in place and have received contract extensions.
“We are confident that the Raptors organization, under the guidance of Bobby and his team, is in a great place,” Pelley continued. “They have a plan in place for next season and beyond as the team continues its rebuild, and we have confidence in their ability to execute and ultimately, to excel. We feel the team is in a strong, stable place, and we believe the addition of a new president will continue to move the Raptors forward, towards our next NBA championship.”
8:11 am: Longtime Raptors president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri is leaving the franchise, according to Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter links), who reports that the two sides have decided to part ways with Ujiri entering the final year of his contract.
There were some warning sides that Ujiri and the Raptors might be headed toward a split at some point, but it’s a little surprising that it’s happening right before free agency begins next week and the morning after the two-day NBA draft, notes Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca (Twitter link).
Last fall, Rogers Communications bought out BCE (Bell)’s stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of the Raptors. Previously, Rogers and Bell had each owned 37.5% of the company, but that deal gave Rogers majority control.
Reporting in the wake of that move noted that Ujiri and Rogers chairman Edward Rogers III have had a “strained relationship” in the past. The Rogers chairman reportedly opposed the terms of the contract extension that Ujiri signed with the club in 2021.
According to Ian Begley of SNY.tv (Twitter link), rival teams have speculated for months that the ownership change might eventually lead to Ujiri exiting the franchise. Some rival executives had described Ujiri as “hard to deal with,” citing his ego, according to Lewenberg (Twitter link). The 54-year-old is reportedly making $15MM per year, Begley adds.
Marc Stein reported in May that the Hawks were interested in having Toronto’s longtime president of basketball operations run their front office. It’s unclear if he actually interviewed, but the fact that Ujiri was cited as a potential candidate was certainly noteworthy.
It’s also worth pointing out that the Raptors have largely struggled over the past half-decade, missing the playoffs in four out of the past five years. Ujiri acknowledged the team was in rebuilding mode last fall, but after going 30-52 in 2024/25 and making a major trade for Brandon Ingram in February, he said in April he was determined to bring Toronto another championship.
After starting his career as a scout, Ujiri worked his way up to assistant general manager with the Raptors in 2008 before leaving to become the GM in Denver in 2010. He was named Executive of the Year with the Nuggets in 2013, then returned to Toronto as executive vice president.
Ujiri bolstered his reputation as one of the NBA’s top executives when he built the Raptors team that captured the franchise’s first-ever NBA title in 2019. Toronto won between 51 and 59 games each season from 2015/16 through 2019/20, advancing to at least the semifinals of the Eastern Conference in each of those five years. The final piece of the puzzle was a bold move to trade for San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard, who was entering the final year of his contract and only spent one season in Toronto.
Ujiri was promoted to president and vice chairman in 2021, with Bobby Webster, Toronto’s general manger since 2017, having focused more on running the team’s day-to-day operations in recent years. Webster will likely lead the basketball operations department for now.
As for Ujiri’s next move, it’s unclear whether or not he’ll seek a new position with an NBA franchise in the short term. Steve Popper of Newsday (Twitter link) notes that an executive from another team told him Ujiri has aspirations beyond running a team, including focusing on charity and political work.
Pacers Adding Johnson, Ashworth, Felton On Exhibit 10 Deals
Big man Samson Johnson is signing with the Pacers, league sources tell Ian Begley of SNY.tv (Twitter link). Indiana will also be signing guards Steven Ashworth and RJ Felton, according to reports from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Twitter links).
All three undrafted free agents will be signing non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contracts, confirms Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star (Twitter links).
A native of Togo, Johnson won a back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024 as a role player for the Huskies. He averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 19.4 minutes per contest as a senior last season (34 games).
Point guard Ashworth spent three years at Utah State before spending his final two years at Creighton. As a “super senior” in 2024/25, he averaged 16.4 PPG, 4.1 RPG and a Big East-best 6.8 APG in 35 games (36.0 MPG) for the Blue Jays. He made 37.4% of his long-range looks (8.4 attempts) and 93.0% of his free throws, an elite number.
Felton, who played four years of college ball at East Carolina, averaged 18.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 2.5 APG and 1.2 SPG on .414/.376/.743 shooting splits in 30 games (34.5 MPG) last season for the Pirates.
Players who sign Exhibit 10 deals can receive a bonus of up to $85K if they’re waived and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G league affiliate (the Noblesville Boom, in Indiana’s case). Exhibit 10 contracts can also be converted into two-way deals.
Kings To Sign Isaac Nogues To Exhibit 10 Deal
The Kings are signing Isaac Nogues, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Twitter link), who says the Spanish guard will have a chance to compete for a two-way spot.
James Ham of The Kings Beat confirms (via Twitter) that Nogues, who went undrafted tonight, will be inking a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal with Sacramento for training camp.
Entering the draft, Nogues was ranked No. 74 on ESPN’s big board and held the No. 91 spot on the big board of Sam Vecenie of The Athletic.
Nogues spent this past season playing in the NBA G League with the Rip City Remix, Portland’s affiliate. He made 40 combined appearances for the Remix in 2024/25, averaging 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.1 steals in 21.1 minutes per game. Nogues was named to the NBAGL’s All-Defensive team and finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting.
At 6’5″ with a 6’10” wingspan, Nogues possesses ideal size and length for a point guard, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony writes, and he’s a tenacious defender who contributes in multiple areas. The catch is that the 21-year-old is almost a total non-scorer, having averaged just 2.5 points on .474/.316/.542 shooting splits.
Nogues could earn a bonus worth up to $85K if he’s waived by the Kings before ’25/26 begins and spends at least 60 days with their NBAGL affiliate in Stockton. As Fischer noted, Exhibit 10 deals can also be converted to two-way contracts.
Mavericks, Moussa Cisse Agree To Exhibit 10 Deal
Free agent center Moussa Cisse has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Mavericks, according to Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express (Twitter link).
The Guinean big man had a well-traveled college career, starting out in Memphis, spending two years at Oklahoma State, one at Ole Miss, and returning to Memphis for his “super senior” season in 2024/25.
Cisse was a part-time starter for the Tigers this past season, averaging 5.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 35 appearances (18.2 minutes per contest). He went undrafted tonight, making him an unrestricted free agent.
While Cisse has an impressive physical profile, he wasn’t much of an offensive threat in college, never averaging more than 7.2 PPG in a season and converting 56.1% of his career field goal attempts and 43.8% of his free throws.
Exhibit 10 contracts are non-guaranteed and players who sign the deals can receive a bonus of up to $85K if they’re waived and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G league affiliate — in Cisse’s case, that would be the Dallas Legends. Exhibit 10 contracts can also be converted into two-way deals and Chepkevich says Cisse will be competing for a two-way spot.
RJ Luis Signs Two-Way Contract With Jazz
July 7: Luis’ two-way deal with Utah is now official, according to NBA.com’s transaction log.
June 26: Free agent wing RJ Luis has agreed to a two-way contract with the Jazz, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (via Twitter).
Luis, who reportedly turned down lucrative NIL offers to return to college, didn’t hear his name called tonight in the second round, making him an unrestricted free agent. He was ranked No. 56 on ESPN’s big board prior to the draft and was No. 58 on Sam Vecenie of The Athletic‘s board.
The St. John’s standout was named Big East Player of the Year and was a second-team All-American in 2025 following a breakout junior season in which he averaged 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 35 games for the Red Storm (31.8 minutes per contest).
At 6’6″ with a 6’10.5″ wingspan, Luis has good size for a wing and is viewed as a strong defender. However, he didn’t score the ball efficiently — his shooting slash line was .439/.336/.747 (.525 TS) — and there are question marks about how his offensive game will translate to the NBA.
Luis, 22, will fill one of Utah’s three two-way spots. Assuming it goes through as planned, the signing will be finalized in July.
Mavericks Sign Miles Kelly To Two-Way Contract
July 3: The Mavericks have officially signed Kelly to a two-way contract, the club confirmed in a press release.
June 26: Free agent guard Miles Kelly has agreed to a two-way contract with the Mavericks, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).
Kelly, who spent his first three college seasons at Georgia Tech prior to transferring to Auburn in 2024/25, went undrafted tonight, making him an unrestricted free agent. He was ranked No. 80 on ESPN’s big board entering the draft and is considered the outlet’s 24th-best prospect among players who weren’t selected.
The 22-year-old shooting guard averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steal in 38 appearances for a Tigers team that advanced to the Final Four this past season (28.6 minutes per contest). He also converted 37.8% of his three-point looks on high volume (6.1 attempts).
A two-way deal will allow Kelly to play in up to 50 NBA regular season games and will pay him $636,435 if he remains under contract through the league-wide salary guarantee deadline in January.
Hawks Add Eli John Ndiaye On Two-Way Contract
July 3: As expected, the Hawks have officially signed Ndiaye to a two-way contract, the team announced today in a press release.
June 26: The Hawks intend to sign free agent forward/center Eli John Ndiaye to a two-way contract, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (via Twitter).
Ndiaye has spent the past four seasons with Spanish club Real Madrid, which competes in both the EuroLeague and Liga ACB. In 24 EuroLeague contests this past season, he averaged 3.7 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per contest, with a shooting slash line of .429/.341/.667.
The slender 6’8″ big man from Senegal was ranked No. 92 on ESPN’s big board prior to going undrafted tonight and 35th among players who were not selected. He was also ranked No. 77 by Sam Vecenie of The Athletic.
Daeqwon Plowden is the only two-way Hawks player whose contract carries over to 2025/26, so Ndiaye will join him on the roster, leaving one two-way opening for Atlanta.
