Latest NBA trade rumors and signings

Knicks Centric writer Tommy Beer says Pacome Dadiet's hold on a roster spot is tenuous, with New York exploring trades in case it prefers to keep veterans.

Jovan Buha said on his Buha's Block show that Los Angeles remains interested in trading for a starting-caliber power forward, whether now or closer to the deadline.

NBA insider Jake Fischer said on a Bleacher Report livestream that Charlotte remains interested in Domantas Sabonis but won't meet Sacramento's asking price.

Trevor Keels is signing an Exhibit 10 contract with Washington, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. The move follows a G League trade that sent his returning rights from Sioux Falls to Capital City.

A trade proposal from Eric Jay Santos of Sports Illustrated would send OG Anunoby, Pacome Dadiet and draft compensation to Houston for Kevin Durant. Santos noted some front offices now view Durant as a diminished trade chip, which could push the Rockets to move faster.

New York signed Bruce Brown, John Konchar, Ochai Agbaji, Drew Eubanks and James Wiseman to non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 deals. With 13 guaranteed contracts and only $3.27M below the second apron per Yossi Gozlan of CapSheets, keeping two of the five would push the Knicks over that line.

Bill Simmons floated a trade sending De'Aaron Fox from San Antonio to the Clippers for Darius Garland plus draft assets, on his podcast. Simmons argued Fox's rough 2026 Finals and long, expensive contract make him a risk while Garland offers a shorter bridge to Dylan Harper taking over at point guard.

DeMar DeRozan told The Athletic's Mirin Fader that Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray each called to recruit him after he left Sacramento.

Cleveland has signed guard Sean McNeil to an Exhibit 10 contract. He's expected to head to the Cleveland Charge once the G League season starts. McNeil appeared in 44 games for the Charge last season, averaging 9.5 points on 46/43/92 shooting.

A hypothetical deal would send Kevin Durant from Houston to Boston in exchange for Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Luke Garza and two future draft picks. The idea would pair Durant with Jayson Tatum and Paul George while keeping Payton Pritchard as the point guard.

Sioux Falls, Miami's G League team, acquired Mo Bamba's rights in a deal sending Trevor Keels to Washington's G League affiliate. It's unclear whether Bamba will actually join the Skyforce this season. He averaged 2.5 points and 5.5 rebounds for Toronto and Utah last year.

A hypothetical trade would send Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody to the Clippers for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and Max Strus. The idea leans on injuries: Butler is out until January or February after an ACL tear, and Moody is recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon.

Jonathan Kuminga texted Lonzo Ball podcast co-host Darren Moore to dispute reports he turned down more money from Los Angeles. Kuminga said no such offer was ever on the table before he signed with Minnesota. The denial contradicts earlier rumors that the Lakers offered him more than the Timberwolves did.

Phoenix is signing free agent center Duop Reath, Shams Charania reports for ESPN, though Suns insider Duane Rankin reports the deal is actually a non-guaranteed training camp contract rather than a guaranteed minimum, meaning Reath's roster spot is not assured.

Golden State signed Chance McMillian and Deivon Smith to Exhibit 10 contracts on Wednesday, then waived both the same day, according to the NBA's transaction log. Both spent last season with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State's G League affiliate.

New Orleans signed and waived center Aziz Bandaogo, Keith Smith reports for Spotrac. The timing of the signing wasn't clear, but the waiver came Wednesday. The deal looks like an Exhibit 10, worth up to $91K if he reports to the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Laketown Squadron, which recently acquired his rights.

Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes named Sacramento as a top landing spot for free agent Cam Whitmore, arguing a team with little to lose should take a flier on him.

New York has signed Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji and James Wiseman to non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 training camp contracts, the team announced, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. They'll compete with John Konchar and Drew Eubanks for the roster's final open spots.

Kevin Love remains unsigned with about a month left before the season starts, after averaging 6.7 points and 5.8 rebounds over 37 games for Utah last season.

SNY's Ian Begley reports the Knicks have been in touch with free agents Gabe Vincent, Duop Reath and James Wiseman as camp nears, and are working Vincent out directly. New York already beat Miami to John Konchar, signing him to a one-year deal despite the Heat having discussed an offer with his representatives.
