Pelicans lock up Derik Queen on multi-year deal

A proposed swap would send Miles McBride to New Orleans, using the Pelicans' $4.5M trade exception from the Jose Alvarado deal, while the Knicks land Yves Missi's rookie contract without touching the second apron.

Sacramento signed wing Trhae Mitchell to a training camp contract, per Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. The 29-year-old went undrafted in 2020 and has spent most of his career in the G League, including last season with New Orleans' Birmingham Squadron.

The Lakers have reacquired the returning player rights to center Cheikh Mbacke Diong for their G League affiliate, the Coachella Valley Lakers, per the NBA G League Transaction Portal.
