The Kings have also maintained interest in unrestricted free agent wing Jonathan Kuminga, but unlike last summer, they have been hesitant to get into sign-and-trade conversations, as such a move would hard cap them at the first apron. Without such a move with the Atlanta Hawks, they would have only a minimum to offer, so those talks have gone nowhere, league sources said.
Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv is back in a big way. The double-winners have signed Daniel Theis—the tough center of the German national team (2.04 meters / 6’8″, 34)—for the next two seasons. Theis played for Monaco over the past two seasons. “This is a very significant signing,” stated Club Chairman Shimon Mizrahi. “Daniel Theis is an experienced player, and his addition is a major reinforcement for Maccabi’s defensive end as well. I am glad to announce that after long negotiations, we succeeded in bringing him to Maccabi.”
Melbourne United have locked in the final piece of the team’s roster for the Hungry Jack’s NBL27 season, securing the signature of 26-year-old star point guard, Cole Anthony. A 367-game NBA veteran entering the prime of his career, Anthony comes to United as one of the most athletic and dynamic guards the NBL will have ever seen.
"I’m super excited to begin this journey with Melbourne United," Anthony said to Melbourne United Media. "This is a great opportunity to continue growing as a player and compete for a championship. I’m ready to get to work and can’t wait to represent the club and meet the fans!"

Draymond Green: I pretty much resigned, not pretty much I did resign for the same amount that I opted out of. Obviously there was hope that we would land a guy with the mid-level slot that didn’t happen so I opted back in a sense to my deal. You know, it was kind of no other reason to not do that. So, shout out to the Dubs. It was reported that I did not receive the no trade clause, no I didn’t. I think it was something that we could have fought over but it wasn’t worth fighting over. You know, I think if the Warriors want to trade me at some point of the season, the want to trade me I’ve never been a guy who wants to stay somewhere where I’m not wanted.
Portland is not currently pursuing free agent swingman DeMar DeRozan, league sources say, despite reports to the contrary.
