Grant Nelson has agreed to a two-way contract with Brooklyn, agent Max Wiepking told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Sean Deveney has reported the Lakers have shopped Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht without finding a taker, while Jaden Hardy is simply someone the team wants off the roster. Jake LaRavia's modest expiring $6 million deal is seen as the easiest of the four to move, given the Lakers' roster crunch above the limit.

Sacramento's decision to sign Ben Simmons to a one-year, $3.5 million deal likely closes off that landing spot for free agent Victor Oladipo, who had been linked to the Kings as a possible mentor for Darius Acuff.

Sam Amick of The Athletic reports Golden State and New York were among the teams pursuing Ben Simmons before he agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Sacramento.

New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy corrected an earlier report, saying Miles McBride can sign an extension worth roughly three years and $55 million while remaining trade-eligible this season.

Heat insider Ira Winderman writes that Miami would put Bobby Portis and Nikola Jovic's salaries into a trade package if a significant backcourt upgrade becomes available. Nothing is close, per Winderman, with the team taking a wait-and-see approach after already adding Klay Thompson and Tim Hardaway Jr. this offseason.

Knicks on SI's Max Wildstein suggests New York could dangle one of its distant future first-round picks, from 2030, 2032 or 2033, to pry second-year center Yanic Konan Niederhäuser away from the Clippers, who are dealing with the loss of five straight first-rounders as league punishment.

NBA insider Brett Siegel reports that New Orleans still wants roughly three first-round picks plus a young player for Trey Murphy III, and hasn't budged despite trade interest from the Lakers and Warriors as well as a Pistons package floated by Sean Devaney sending Duncan Robinson, Ron Holland II and two future first-rounders (2028, 2030) to pair Murphy with Cade Cunningham.

Orlando has signed guards Malaki Branham and JD Davison to Exhibit 10 contracts for training camp, the team announced. Branham was waived by Charlotte in February after stops in San Antonio and Washington, while Davison was cut by Houston last month following two-way stints in Boston and Houston.

SNY's Ian Begley reports the Knicks are tracking free agents Drew Eubanks and John Konchar to fill open standard roster spots, with one veteran minimum slot available under the second apron.

ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel remains skeptical the Lakers can land free agent Bruce Brown, noting Los Angeles is already $500,000 over the tax and would need to cut multiple players just to fit him.

Chicago's summer featured a two-year, $44M deal for Norman Powell and a four-team trade bringing in Nic Claxton from Brooklyn, sending Mouhamadou Gueye to Charlotte.
