Latest NBA trade rumors and signings

Minnesota has traded Josh Green to Utah, per ESPN, a different destination than the Atlanta deal that had been floated.

Sixers president Bob Myers described how the Jaylen Brown trade came together, saying the process turned serious once Brad Stevens asked what Philadelphia was offering, then ran through roughly 50 conversations without either side leaking.

With Jonathan Kuminga off to Minnesota, a proposed three-team deal would bring Atlanta big man Mo Gueye to Los Angeles alongside a 2031 second-rounder, ship Dalton Knecht and his $4.2 million to Houston, and send the Hawks two Lakers second-round picks acquired in the Deandre Ayton deal.

Minnesota agreed with Jonathan Kuminga on a two-year, $13 million deal carrying a player option, Shams Charania reported, to be signed using the $6.1 million taxpayer midlevel exception.

Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report argues Phoenix should explore trading Jalen Green, noting his backcourt pairing with Devin Booker underperforms lineups that instead feature Collin Gillespie. Green enters his second season with the Suns coming off a career-low 32 games and a hamstring issue still being managed.

Writing for FanSided, Lucas Johnson maps out a Bronny James move from Los Angeles to Boston in exchange for a protected 2030 second-rounder (via Charlotte) and a protected 2031 second (via Houston).

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk at LakeShowLife, in a trade idea picked up by Heavy, has Los Angeles acquiring Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins in exchange for Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht, Adou Thiero and a 2031 Wizards second-round pick.

Marc Stad has agreed to buy Marc Lore's controlling stake in the Timberwolves at a $4.5 billion valuation, and three blockbuster ideas are proposed for the new owner.

One trade idea has Kevin Durant leaving Houston for Boston while the Rockets take back Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman and a 2031 first-round pick.

Golden State's pursuit of Trey Murphy is cast as more realistic now that New Orleans is working to add Bennedict Mathurin, which would squeeze the Pelicans' wing minutes alongside Herb Jones and Jordan Poole.

New Orleans has finalized a trade sending Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy to Memphis, along with a future second-round pick and a pick swap, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Grizzlies send back AJ Johnson and Taj Gibson.

One trade idea has Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. joining Miami in exchange for Myron Gardner and a 2031 second-round pick. Porter averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 2.2 steals across 38 games last season and is on an expiring $5.3 million contract.

Jake Fischer, on his Bleacher Report livestream, said rival front offices view Nikola Jovic and Bobby Portis as negative-value contracts, which limits Miami's ability to use them as salary ballast in a trade.

Myles Turner and a 2032 second-rounder go from Milwaukee to Los Angeles in one proposed three-way, with the Bucks receiving Jarred Vanderbilt, Rob Dillingham and a 2031 second while Chicago picks up Jaden Hardy and Jake LaRavia.

One scenario has Karl-Anthony Towns moving to Portland, with the Knicks receiving Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara and a 2029 first-round pick.

One trade idea has Joel Embiid moving to the Wizards with Anthony Davis and a 2027 second-round pick going the other way. The argument: Davis has already won a title next to LeBron James, now in Philadelphia, while Washington gambles on Embiid's health.

One trade idea moves Damian Lillard from Portland to Boston, with the Blazers taking back Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman and second-round picks in 2028 and 2030.

A sign-and-trade sketched out by writer Jake Weinbach would route Jonathan Kuminga to the Lakers, Dalton Knecht and a 2032 second-rounder to Chicago, and Jaden Hardy plus a 2031 second and cash to Atlanta.

One idea has Miles McBride and Pacome Dadiet going to Brooklyn with Noah Clowney coming back to New York. McBride enters 2026-27 on an expiring $3.9M deal, while Clowney, 22, averaged 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 threes in 27 minutes over 60 starts and reaches restricted free agency next summer.

One three-team concept has Jimmy Butler heading to the Hawks with three second-rounders, Jonathan Kuminga, Corey Kispert and Buddy Hield going to Milwaukee with future picks, and Myles Turner plus a 2027 Hawks first arriving in Golden State. The catch on Butler is plain: he is 36 and working back from a torn ACL.
