Latest NBA trade rumors and signings

Real Madrid has announced the signing of center Damian Jones, who is under contract with the club through the end of the 2026-27 season.

A trade proposal would send Ty Jerome from Memphis to Los Angeles, with Jaden Hardy and 2031 and 2032 second-round picks going back the other way.

Saturday, August 29 at 4:00 pm Central is the cutoff for teams to waive a player and stretch his guaranteed 2026/27 cap hit, since the current CBA requires the player to clear waivers before September 1.

A rundown of stars unlikely to move before the season but plausible in February: Jimmy Butler on an expiring $57 million deal in Golden State as he rehabs a torn ACL, Anthony Davis in Washington after both sides agreed to postpone extension talks, Kyrie Irving with two years and $82 million left in Dallas, and Zion Williamson needing a second healthy season to draw calls.

New York is holding its 14th roster spot open and waiting for training-camp cuts to shake veterans loose, Brett Siegel said on ClutchPoints' "Clutch Scoops."

Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report sketched a Warriors-Pistons-Mavericks deal built around Detroit landing Kyrie Irving, with P.J. Washington and Taurean Prince going to Golden State plus two Detroit second-rounders, and Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody heading to Dallas.

A trade idea has Houston sending Kevin Durant and Clint Capela to Philadelphia for Joel Embiid plus second-round picks in 2027 and 2032.

A proposed deadline deal has the Trail Blazers sending Jrue Holiday to Golden State for Draymond Green and De'Anthony Melton, thinning Portland's crowded backcourt of Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe while adding a frontcourt defender.

A hypothetical four-team deal has the Lakers landing Josh Hart and a 2031 second-rounder while the Knicks take PJ Washington and two second-round picks. Dallas would collect Jaden Hardy, Jake LaRavia and a 2033 first, with Dalton Knecht going to Houston.

A hypothetical three-team deal would send Kyrie Irving from Dallas to Boston, with the Mavericks taking back Jimmy Butler, Baylor Scheierman and first-rounders in 2028 (via Golden State), 2031 and 2033 (via Boston). Golden State would land Derrick White and P.J. Washington in the same idea.

Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley floated a three-team deal sending Kyrie Irving and Naji Marshall from Dallas to Detroit for Ron Holland II, Daniss Jenkins, Duncan Robinson, a 2028 first-rounder and two future seconds.

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

With Jonathan Kuminga signed in Minnesota on a two-year, $12.4 million deal, Los Angeles is floated as a suitor for Sacramento's De'Andre Hunter, who is on an expiring $24.9 million contract.

Marcus Thompson, speaking on The Tom Tolbert Show, said Stephen Curry's knee trouble was one reason LeBron James signed with Philadelphia instead of Golden State, framing James as wary of how many games he would be asked to carry if Curry were limited.

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.

Brandin Podziemski is eligible for a rookie-scale extension, and the gap in the talks is wide: his side is aiming for $22 million to $25 million annually while the Warriors would rather land between $15 million and $18 million to protect their second-apron room around Stephen Curry.

Brandon Miller is eligible for a rookie scale extension until October 19, and Charlotte basketball operations boss Jeff Peterson wants a long-term deal done.

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.

Miami announced the signing of undrafted guard/forward J'Vonne Hadley, with Ira Winderman and Anthony Chiang both confirming it is an Exhibit 10 training camp contract.

Nick Richards signing with Miami leaves New York, carrying only 13 standard contracts, still hunting frontcourt help, and Ben Simmons is raised as an option.
