NBA 2026-27 offseason trades, signings & rumors

Wow. 5/208M extension for Amen Thompson

Is that roughly $10M below a max rookie extension?  I guess he gets a trade kicker clause, maybe something he valued.  I really don't know his game all that well so I don't know how to judge this deal.

Three-time NBA All-Star Ben Simmons is back in the NBA after agreeing to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Sacramento Kings on Friday, his agents Max Wiepking, Sean Tribe and Ryan Arney told Andscape and ESPN's Shams Charania.

don't know if that speaks more of the Kings' desperation or Simmons' agents ability to get their clients a contract out of nothing

A wise man once said that "desperation is a stinky cologne"

I think Simmons will be a decent backup for Sabonis. Good signing for the Vet min.

Mavs should definitely move him while he still has value.

Teams across the league are intrigued by how, or if, the 34-year-old Kyrie Irving fits in the Mavericks' long-term plans as the franchise prioritizes building around its teenage prodigy. A healthy Irving, who has averaged 25.5 points and 5.1 assists per game in a Mavs uniform, could be a prime target for contenders before the trade deadline if new Dallas president Masai Ujiri is willing to engage in those discussions. -- Tim MacMahon

I know for me, I would want no part of having Flagg share a locker room with that flakey Anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist.  I don't think their friendship did Jaylen Brown many favors.

I?m not a fan of Kyrie, but his teammates seem to love him wherever he goes. I don?t get it.

Came up with 3 playoff teams that could be a good fit for Irving. Unfortunately, they are all in the East.

Detroit, Indiana, and Toronto.

If I?m Dallas, I?d want to pair Andrew Nembhard with Flagg.

I'm not sure if I agree that Kyrie is universally loved by his teammates.  His early Cleveland teammates weren't fans, and then he randomly stopped talking to the team in his final playoff season.  I don't recall all that many of the Celtics speaking about how much they missed Kyrie when he abandoned them, other than JB (who didn't like him at first).  And, there seems to have been a falling out with his Brooklyn teammates, as well.

He seems well-liked in Dallas so far.
