The Washington Wizards signed a quartet of players to Exhibit 10 contracts. Washington signed guards Reece Beekman and Trevor Keels, wing Chris Livingston and forward Steve Settle III. The Wizards also waived forward KeShawn Murphy, who was signed to an Exhibit 10 contract last week.

These deals bothered Doc Rivers and other coaches, as they felt the organization had bowed too much to appease their star player. To them, Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted things both ways. “Giannis said so many things,” a former coach said, “It stems from your actions, which is, 'My brothers have to be on this team.'

The Bucks signed Amir Coffey, who began his career under Rivers with the Clippers. The team would cut former draft picks Chris Livingston and Tyler Smith to make room for the veteran.
