Bey's new deal done as Zion, AD, MPJ talks stay stalled

New Orleans locked up Saddiq Bey on a three-year, $55.5M extension with full guarantees and a small trade kicker, per Shamit Dua of In The NO. Zion Williamson has no active extension talks despite reporting to camp lighter, with Pelicans exec Joe Dumars saying they'll revisit things closer to 2027.

Anthony Davis expects his situation with Washington to wait until after this season, and Nets GM Sean Marks says talks with Michael Porter Jr. are ongoing but unhurried. Thunder guard Cason Wallace, extension-eligible until October 19, says he isn't focused on a new deal right now.
