Latest NBA trade rumors and signings

Salary cap analyst Yossi Gozlan, writing for Third Apron, floated Dalton Knecht and Jaden Hardy going to Minnesota for Josh Green.

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.

A Lakers trade idea would send Pelicans wing Herbert Jones to Los Angeles for Dalton Knecht, Jaden Hardy, a 2032 first-round swap and three second-rounders, aimed at giving LA a starting small forward who can guard perimeter scorers after Klay Thompson signed in Miami and Jonathan Kuminga chose Minnesota over the Lakers' offer.

A trade idea has the Lakers sending Jarred Vanderbilt and a 2031 Wizards second-round pick to Charlotte for Grant Williams, swapping Vanderbilt's roughly $12.43 million for Williams' $14.27 million expiring deal, a difference Los Angeles can absorb under its first-apron hard cap.

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 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.

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.

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.

Two free agent moves anchor the latest episode of The Dunker Spot: Klay Thompson signing with Miami and DeMar DeRozan heading to Denver.

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.

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.

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.

Irving is floated as heading back to the Celtics, with Dallas taking Derrick White, Baylor Scheierman, a 2031 first-rounder and a 2031 second. The argument is that Boston's window with Jayson Tatum is open now while the Mavericks build around Cooper Flagg.

Jalen Duren, a restricted free agent in Detroit, turns up in Milwaukee in one proposed deal.

With Jalen Duren still unsigned in Detroit, a two-team idea has him joining Boston via sign-and-trade on a four-year, $180.7 million contract, with the Pistons taking back Derrick White, Sam Hauser and first-round picks in 2027 and 2031.

Sports Illustrated's Blake Silverman has floated Houston as a landing spot for Anthony Davis if Washington moves away from him, pairing Davis with Kevin Durant. Shams Charania reports the Wizards and Davis' agent, Rich Paul, have agreed to hold off on extension talks until roughly 20 games into the season.

Los Angeles and Atlanta are back in discussions on a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade, with Jaden Hardy and his $6 million salary now part of the conversation, per Kurt Helin of NBC Sports.

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.

Brian Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective that a straight Lakers-Hawks sign-and-trade for Jonathan Kuminga is unlikely because Atlanta would land in the tax, so a third team taking salary is probably required.

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.
