Latest NBA trade rumors and signings

Jonathan Kuminga's choice is down to the Lakers and Timberwolves, Jake Fischer said on a Bleacher Report livestream.

After missing out on Jonathan Kuminga, who signed a two-year deal in Minnesota, the Lakers are left searching for two-way wing and frontcourt depth behind Walker Kessler and Kevon Looney.

Cleveland reportedly plans to sign one of its draft-rights rookies to a minimum deal to reach the 14-man roster floor. Khalifa Diop is seen as the frontrunner over Ismael Kamagate, whose rights the Cavs just acquired, and Saliou Niang, who is committed to LSU. The rookie minimum for 2026-27 projects at $1.4 million.

Jake Fischer said on Bleacher Report's Insider Notebook livestream that Bruce Brown remains a target for the Lakers, though Jonathan Kuminga has since gone to Minnesota.

A separate trade idea floated for the same offseason has Houston sending Kevin Durant and Clint Capela to Denver for Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, a 2031 first-round pick and a 2028 second-rounder, a scenario framed as something the Rockets could weigh before the 2026-27 season if they decide to move on from Durant early.

With Jonathan Kuminga agreeing to a two-year, $13 million deal in Minnesota, Bleacher Report's Andrew Peters lists PJ Washington, De'Andre Hunter and Bruce Brown as the Lakers' likely pivots at power forward.

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

Bennedict Mathurin's two-year, $16 million deal with New Orleans is now on the league's official transaction log, per NBA.com. It includes a player option for the second season.

Dalen Terry and the Warriors have agreed to terms, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported, with NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson adding that it is a one-year Exhibit 10 rather than a guaranteed spot.

Minnesota is expected to trade Josh Green after adding Jonathan Kuminga on a two-year, $13 million deal, Jon Krawczynski and Sam Amick of The Athletic report.

Jake Fischer, speaking on a Bleacher Report live stream, said Bennedict Mathurin's restricted free agency likely ends one of two ways: a sign-and-trade to New Orleans or accepting the one-year, $8.8MM qualifying offer to stay with the Clippers, a decision he has until October 1 to make.

Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Timberwolves that includes a player option, per ESPN, which credits agent Aaron Turner.

With Jonathan Kuminga signing a two-year, $13 million deal in Minnesota, the Lakers' alternatives are said to include PJ Washington, De'Andre Hunter and Bruce Brown, and any trade would mean shedding salary. Jarred Vanderbilt ($12.4 million) and Jake LaRavia ($6 million) are the obvious pieces to move.

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.

Jonathan Kuminga signed a two-year, $13 million deal in Minnesota, and the Lakers have since been linked to PJ Washington, De'Andre Hunter and Bruce Brown as trade alternatives.

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

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

Sacramento general manager Scott Perry traveled to Florida to watch Ben Simmons work out, according to Carmichael Dave, who said Simmons was one of several players on Perry's evaluation list.

Keshad Johnson is heading back to the Heat on a two-way contract, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Johnson went unqualified at the end of June, making him an unrestricted free agent after two seasons in Miami, where he averaged 3.7 points in 48 games while dominating for Sioux Falls in the G League.

Aleksej Pokusevski told Meridian Sport he still sees a way back to the NBA, pointing to his age as the reason it remains realistic, while conceding he needs to improve, per Eurohoops.
