Bulls Trade Lonzo Ball To Cavaliers For Isaac Okoro

June 28th, 2025 at 10:08am CST by Earnest Marshall

July 6: The one-for-one trade is official, according to a Bulls press release.

June 28: The Bulls are trading point guard Lonzo Ball to the Cavaliers in exchange for forward Isaac Okoro, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).

Ball, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, has played for Chicago since 2021. However, due to multiple knee injuries, he spent the better part of those four years recovering. He missed the entirety of the 2022/23 and ’23/24 seasons before returning to the lineup this past year.

While his playing time was down from his career averages this season, he still recorded 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals per night and had positive on/off-court numbers.

The Bulls signed Ball to a two-year, $20MM extension in February despite trade interest at the time. He’s on the books for $10MM this coming season and has a team option for 2026/27.

Acquiring Ball gives Cleveland a versatile guard to add to its lineup. The 27-year-old has proven to be an effective defender, shooter and facilitator when healthy. The Cavs’ decision to acquire a point guard could also point to pessimism in their ability to re-sign impending free agent Ty Jerome.

Meanwhile, the Bulls are taking a flier of their own in obtaining former No. 5 overall pick Okoro. The Cavaliers didn’t re-sign Okoro to a multi-year contract until September of last year after he became a restricted free agent following the 2023/24 season.

Okoro’s playing time decreased in new head coach Kenny Atkinson‘s system, and he averaged career lows of 6.1 points and 19.1 minutes per game. In the playoffs, Okoro’s averages shrunk to 4.6 PPG across 14.2 MPG.

He’ll be in the second year of the three-year, $33MM deal he inked with Cleveland last year. He’ll count for $11MM against the cap in 2025/26 before his salary rises to a guaranteed $11.8MM next season.

Ball drew interest on the trade market prior to February’s deadline, with the Grizzlies, Pistons, and Timberwolves said to be among the teams to register interest at that time. The Bulls were reportedly offered draft capital in February, but didn’t want to take on a sizable multiyear contract.

Assuming the Ball/Okoro swap is completed as reported, it will hard-cap the Bulls at the first tax apron for the rest of the 2025/26 league year, since they’ll be taking in more salary than they’re sending out. The trade will become official in July, after the players’ new cap hits take effect.

Celtics Explore Flipping Anfernee Simons, Georges Niang

June 27th, 2025 at 7:31pm CST by Luke Adams

Neither Anfernee Simons nor Georges Niang is technically a member of the Celtics yet, as the deals sending them to Boston won’t become official until July. However, the Celtics have explored the idea of flipping Simons to a new team, according to Jay King of The Athletic, who reports that Niang is also a candidate to be moved before the 2025/26 season.

Brian Robb of MassLive.com has published a similar report, citing sources who say Boston is expected to remain active in the trade market and will explore its options with players like Simons and Niang.

As both King and Robb explain, a desire to retain free agent centers Al Horford and Luke Kornet is one reason why the Celtics are motivated to continue making moves to create more cap flexibility.

After agreeing to send out Jrue Holiday to Portland in a deal for Simons and Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta in a trade for Niang, Boston projects to operate a little below the second tax apron, but would almost certainly have to go back above that threshold in order to re-sign Horford and Kornet.

The Celtics also appear hopeful about the possibility of moving below the luxury tax line entirely, writes King, since that would be a first step toward taking the team out of repeater taxpayer territory for future seasons (two years out of the tax are required to reset the repeater clock).

Getting below the tax line would require shedding at least $15MM-ish in additional salary, and more than that in order to re-sign Horford and Kornet.

As King observes, it likely wouldn’t be difficult to move off Sam Hauser, whose $10MM salary for 2025/26 would neatly fit into a team’s non-taxpayer mid-level exception. However, the Celtics have been more focused on scenarios that would allow them to hang onto the sharpshooting wing.

A trade involving Jaylen Brown or Derrick White could provide an avenue to significant cap savings, but multiple reports have suggested the Celtics would need to be blown away to consider moving either player. VP of basketball operations Mike Zarren told reporters on Thursday “there hasn’t been anything close to serious about trading” Brown or White, adding that “those guys are key parts of our team, and we’re lucky to have them here.”

Sixers Re-Sign Justin Edwards To Three-Year Deal

June 27th, 2025 at 5:34pm CST by Luke Adams

July 6: Edwards has officially re-signed with the 76ers, according to NBA.com’s transaction log. Edwards’ deal includes a third-year team option, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).

June 27: The Sixers will decline their minimum-salary team option on forward Justin Edwards in order to sign him to a new three-year contract, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).

According to Charania, the new deal will pay Edwards roughly $2MM in 2025/26 and will be fully guaranteed for the first two years.

Edwards, who will turn 22 this December, joined the Sixers last summer as an undrafted free agent out of Kentucky. He opened the season on a two-way deal before being promoted to the standard roster after the trade deadline in February.

The 6’7″ forward had an impressive rookie year in Philadelphia, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steal in 26.3 minutes per game across 44 outings (26 starts). He registered a shooting line of .455/.363/.696.

The Sixers will have the ability to complete this deal with Edwards using his Non-Bird rights. While it sounds like it might be worth the veteran’s minimum (which is projected to start at $2,048,494 for a second-year player in ’25/26), the minimum salary exception can only be used for deals of up to two years.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Edwards’ deal includes a team option in year three, since that would give the Sixers the ability to make him a restricted free agent in 2027 instead of having to take him to unrestricted free agency in 2028.

Jazz Say Ace Bailey Will Report To Team On Saturday

June 27th, 2025 at 3:30pm CST by Luke Adams

3:30 pm: Bailey plans to report to the Jazz on Saturday, a team representative confirms to Givony.

“We’ve had good communication with Ace Bailey and his representatives,” that team rep told ESPN. “We feel good about everything. Ace and his family are coming to Utah tomorrow. We’ll have a press conference Sunday, and a practice Monday.”

2:00 pm: A Thursday report indicated that Ace Bailey‘s representatives advised at least one team with a top-five pick not to draft him. However, Jazz vice president of player development Avery Bradley didn’t sound concerned on Thursday night about the possibility that Utah is that team or that the No. 5 overall pick won’t report for Summer League training camp next week, per Tony Jones of The Athletic.

“For me, it is my understanding that all of our draft picks will be here this weekend and preparing for Summer League,” Bradley said, per Tony Jones of The Athletic, before going on to address the rumors that Utah wasn’t one of Bailey’s preferred landing spots.

“… I think there is always going to be outside noise. But Ace’s dream was to get drafted, and he’s blessed to have been drafted by the Utah Jazz. We are excited to have him. We are excited to get him here and excited to get him a part of our family, so he can begin to show who he is as a player.”

An unorthodox pre-draft process – Bailey was believed to be the only prominent U.S. player who didn’t visit any NBA teams before the draft – led to widespread speculation that representatives for the former Rutgers wing were angling to get him to a certain destination and avoiding certain others — including, possibly, Utah.

That speculation has since been fueled by a couple factors. For one, Bailey’s primary representative and manager Omar Cooper spoke to Jonathan Givony and Tim Bontemps about his client’s lack of pre-draft workouts for ESPN’s story on Thursday, but declined to comment when asked about the Jazz or Bailey’s future with the team.

Comments made by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst during a late-night SportsCenter appearance (YouTube link) after round two on Thursday also raised some eyebrows.

“(Bailey) did not go to Utah today. Walter Clayton, their other first-round draft pick, did go to Utah today,” Windhorst said. “Now the Jazz have said that’s not an issue. They allow their new players to go home. But he will be expected to be there on Monday when their Summer League training camp begins. So, let’s see.

“One thing I will tell you with confidence: (Jazz CEO) Danny Ainge and his son (president of basketball operations) Austin (Ainge) are not going to bend here. They’re not going to get pushed around. They do not care what the situation might bring. So the idea that they are going to pressure the Jazz into something, I don’t think will be successful for Ace Bailey and his operation. But let’s see how the next 72 hours plays out.”

During that SportsCenter hit and in a subsequent appearance on Friday’s episode of ESPN’s Get Up (YouTube link), Windhorst made it clear he believes Bailey will report to the Jazz sooner or later, even if Utah wasn’t at the top of his wish list. The NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement doesn’t give the 18-year-old much leverage, and if he were to hold out, he’d be jeopardizing a first-year salary worth a projected $9.07MM.

Appearing on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show on Thursday (YouTube link), Jazz owner Ryan Smith indicated he was sympathetic to Bailey’s desire to end up elsewhere, but believes the young forward will come around on Utah once he visits for the first time and becomes part of the Jazz.

“Naturally, he doesn’t have a lot of experience out west here with Utah,” Smith said (hat tip to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune). “That’s our job to make him love it. I’m confident in our state and he’ll feel love like he’s never felt before. And the reality is, there is nothing Ace and others can’t accomplish here.

“… I think the picture is our head can lead us to a really weird spot,” Smith continued. “It limits all the opportunities in front of us. It is natural to feel uncomfortable. I think if you went down the entire draft board and said, ‘What is everyone’s preferred destination?’ It is probably not the right move for them that they think it is in their head.”

For what it’s worth, nothing Bailey said during his draft interviews on Wednesday suggested he was unhappy about being drafted by Utah, so if there’s any resistance to the Jazz pick, it may be coming from his representation — or at least one faction of his representation, since there are a few cooks in the kitchen.

Cooper has been acting as Bailey’s de facto lead rep, but he’s not an NBA-certified agent. Adie Von Gontard (Young Money APAA) and Daniel Green (GSE Worldwide), who work for two different firms, are officially listed as Bailey’s agents.

Another one of Bailey’s representatives, Andrew Witlieb, the president of sports marketing at GSE Worldwide, said on Thursday’s episode of Front Office Sports Today (YouTube link) that his client is “absolutely” excited to play for the Jazz.

“He’s thrilled to be going to Utah,” Witlieb said. “… We think he can do a lot of great things out there. He certainly should get a ton of playing time, and he’ll have a lot of chances to show what he can do. We think it’s a great situation for him basketball-wise.”

The Jazz will be participating in the Salt Lake City Summer League beginning on July 5, prior to the Las Vegas Summer League on July 10. So it shouldn’t be long before we find out whether this situation escalates further or turns into a non-story.

Rockets Plan To Re-Sign Aaron Holiday, Jae’Sean Tate, Jeff Green

June 27th, 2025 at 2:43pm CST by Luke Adams

2:43 pm: Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle (subscription required) confirms that the Rockets will decline Holiday’s option and have tentative agreements in place to retain Holiday, Tate, and Green.

She adds that the team expects to have its full non-taxpayer mid-level exception available, which points toward Landale being waived before his $8MM salary becomes guaranteed, though that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

12:26 pm: The Rockets don’t intend to let guard Aaron Holiday, swingman Jae’Sean Tate, or forward Jeff Green walk in free agency, according to Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link). Charania reports that Houston’s plan is to bring back all three players, re-signing them to new contracts.

While Tate and Green are headed for unrestricted free agency, the Rockets hold a team option on Holiday worth roughly $4.9MM. Charania’s report suggests Houston plans to turn down that option in order to bring back the 28-year-old on a new deal.

Holiday, Green, and Tate have all spent multiple seasons with the Rockets, but played fewer minutes in 2024/25 than they had in the past as the team’s young core continued to come into its own.

Holiday averaged 5.5 points and 1.3 assists in 12.8 minutes per game across 62 appearances, with a .437/.398/.829 shooting line; Tate logged a career-low 11.3 MPG in 52 games, contributing 3.6 PPG and 2.3 RPG; and Green put up 5.4 PPG and 1.8 RPG in 12.4 MPG across 32 outings (three starts).

Despite their modest roles, it seems as if Holiday, Tate, and Green still hold real appeal to the Rockets, though I wouldn’t be surprised if all three players return on minimum-salary contracts. Tate’s deal will be for one year, likely at the veteran’s minimum, confirms Kelly Iko of The Athletic (Twitter link).

As cap expert Yossi Gozlan tweets, bringing back the trio on minimum deals would allow Houston to hang onto Jock Landale‘s $8MM contract and stay out of tax territory. The big man’s salary is scheduled to become guaranteed if he remains under contract through Sunday.

If Landale is let go, the Rockets could use a chunk of the non-taxpayer mid-level exception without going into the tax.

Sixers’ Andre Drummond Opting In For 2025/26

June 27th, 2025 at 12:22pm CST by Luke Adams

Sixers center Andre Drummond has decided to pick up his $5MM player option for the 2025/26 season, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link). The move locks in Drummond’s salary for next season and lines up him to return to the unrestricted free agent market in the summer of 2026.

Drummond initially signed a two-year, $10MM contract with Philadelphia last offseason. The Sixers made him a priority in free agency after coming to terms with Paul George on a maximum-salary contract because they wanted to make sure they had a reliable veteran backup for Joel Embiid.

As it turned out, Embiid played just 19 games in 2024/25 due to a knee issue, but Drummond battled health problems of his own, with a nagging toe injury limiting him to 40 appearances, including 23 starts. He averaged 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steal in 18.8 minutes per game.

While Drummond, one of the NBA’s all-time best rebounders, continues to grab boards at an elite level, the Sixers struggled during mightily during his minutes this past season, posting a net rating of -15.5 when he was on the court. Of course, Philadelphia had a poor season all around in ’24/25, but the team had a more respectable -4.3 net rating when Drummond didn’t play.

Drummond is one of three Sixers veterans holding player options for next season. The team is still waiting on decisions from Kelly Oubre ($8.4MM) and Eric Gordon ($3.5MM).

Philadelphia now has five players on guaranteed salaries for 2025/26. Those five players – Embiid, George, Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and Drummond – will earn a combined $154MM, which is right around where the salary cap is projected to come in.

Suns’ Booker Considered Likely To Sign Two-Year Extension

June 27th, 2025 at 11:42am CST by Luke Adams

After predicting during ESPN’s draft broadcast on Thursday that Devin Booker and the Suns would come to an agreement on a contract extension this offseason, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reiterated that point in stronger terms during a Friday appearance on Get Up (YouTube link).

“We have big positive news potentially coming here for the Suns,” Windhorst said (hat tip to RealGM). “Devin Booker is in position to sign a two-year, $150MM extension. … He is expected to get that offer and to sign it.

“The Suns have some work to do on this roster, but Booker has been highly engaged with them this offseason on their coaching search and their Kevin Durant trade.”

While there was some speculation from outside the organization that the Suns might consider the idea of trading Booker this offseason, it doesn’t sound like that was an option the front office ever considered. The Suns stressed both publicly and privately that they planned to continue building around the four-time All-Star guard going forward.

As Windhorst notes, reporting at the time of Jordan Ott‘s hiring as Phoenix’s new head coach indicated that Booker was heavily involved in the process and gave the former Cavaliers assistant his stamp of approval.

Booker still has three years and $171MM left on his current super-max contract, but he’s eligible to sign another extension as of July 6, since it will have been three years since he finalized that previous deal. A new contract would begin at a projected $72MM in 2029/30, based on 10% annual cap increases, with an 8% raise to $77.8MM in ’30/31. It would cover his age-32 and age-33 seasons.

Asked about his contract situation in April, Booker didn’t explicitly state he would sign that extension if it were put on the table, but certainly suggested he’d welcome it. He told reporters it’s “nice to be up for an extension” and that it’s “always a pleasure” to be wanted for more years.

If Booker finalizes that two-year extension this offseason, it would set a new NBA record for the highest annual salary of any single contract, though the exact value would remain up in the air until the ’29/30 cap is officially set in four years.

Rockets’ Cam Whitmore Involved In Trade Talks

June 27th, 2025 at 10:32am CST by Arthur Hill

The Rockets have been engaged in trade discussions this week involving Cam Whitmore, sources tell Kelly Iko of The Athletic (Twitter link), who describes the situation as “fluid.”

The 20-year-old small forward has seen limited playing time during his first two NBA seasons and has been unable to claim a regular role amidst Houston’s collection of young talent. He appeared in 51 games this season, averaging 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.2 minutes per night with .444/.355/.750 shooting numbers. He was out of the rotation completely in the playoffs, making just three brief appearances.

The Rockets were surprised to land Whitmore with their second pick in the 2023 draft when he slipped to 20th after once being considered a top-five prospect. Concerns about his defense and focus caused several teams to pass on him, and those questions have persisted during his time in the NBA.

Iko reported earlier this month that the Rockets had received trade inquiries about Whitmore, but added that management remains optimistic about his future and that neither he or his representatives have asked to be moved. However, that was before the team agreed to the Kevin Durant trade, which may create fewer developmental opportunities for Whitmore as Houston looks to take another step toward title contention.

Appearing Thursday on Get Up, ESPN’s Shams Charania speculated that Whitmore could have significant value as a trade asset (YouTube link; hat tip to Ben DuBose of Rockets Wire).

“Cam Whitmore is a young player with talent that has gotten interest around the league,” Charania said. “That’s someone that if you’re the Rockets, you could potentially move him for draft capital or a player that can help you now. If they are going to go into free agency or look into trades, I think a player that’s kind of the ilk of a Dillon Brooks, a wing-type player that can shore up that spot, that could be of interest for the Rockets.”

Whitmore may see an expanded opportunity for playing time if he doesn’t get dealt, depending on what the Rockets do in free agency. They’re sending two wing players to Phoenix in Brooks and Jalen Green, and Whitmore has already played two years in coach Ime Udoka’s system.

Whitmore has a $5.5MM option for 2026/27 that Houston or his new team will have to pick up before the start of next season. He will be eligible for an extension on his rookie-scale contract next summer.

Raptors Part Ways With Team President Masai Ujiri

June 27th, 2025 at 9:05am CST by Rory Maher

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.
