Three signings are reached! Rockets center sign the Grizzlies, Embiid will airborne the Nets, Knicks are interested in Simmons

First, let’s take a look at the unwillingness of a veteran. According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Wu, two-time All-Star player Victor Oladipo, who has faded out of the NBA's horizon, recently participated in a private trial and played a five-on-five match with several international professionals. According to Wu, the former second-largest show still hopes to return to the NBA stage.

Secondly let's take a look at a team's unwillingness to give up. According to In The NO reporter Shamit Duya, if the Pelicans cut Williamson today, the team will only have to pay $7.8892.18 million of their $39.446 million salary next season, and the salary for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons will be completely removed from the salary book. But there is no sign that the team has seriously considered this plan. Williamson played in just 30 games last season with hamstring and back injuries, averaging 28.6 minutes per game, contributing 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals.

Let's take a look at the Jazz's latest plans. Since Austin Angie became the team's president of basketball operations last month, the Jazz have been actively cleaning up veterans in the roster, buying out Jordan Clarkson, trading Colin Sexton to the Hornets, and trading John Collins to the Clippers, and the returns on these transactions are also very limited.

However, according to ESPN's Tim McMahon, the Utah Jazz have no plans to trade the star forward, despite speculations about whether Laurie Markkanen will become the next veteran to leave the team.

Markkanen played 47 games, averaging 19.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, shooting 42.3% from the field, 34.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 87.6% from free throws.

Finally, let's take a look at the Hornets' lineup adjustment again. According to Rod Boone, a reporter from the Charlotte Observer, the Hornets have cut Josh Okogie.

Okogi played in 40 games last season, averaging 15.6 minutes per game, scoring 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals, shooting 44.8% from the field, 34.8% from three-pointers and 74.1% from free throws.

Back to the point, let's take a look at what formal signings have been reached today.

Signing one: The Hornets sign Drew Petersonda

According to ESPN's famous reporter Shams Charania, the Hornets earned money to free agent forward Drew Peterson, which is reportedly a two-way contract.

Drew Peterson averaged 33.8 minutes in the NCAA last season, contributing 18.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 43.8% from the field, 37.4% from three-pointers and 89.1% from free throws.

Signing 2: The Grizzlies officially signed Jock Landale

The Grizzlies officially announced today that the team has officially completed the signing with former Rockets center Jock Landale. There are reports that Langdale agreed to join the Grizzlies with a one-year minimum salary contract after being cut by the Rockets.

Jock Landale played 42 games with the Rockets last season, starting three times, averaging 11.9 minutes per game, scoring 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds.

Signing Three: The Grizzlies signed Santi Aldama

The Memphis Grizzlies officially announced today that the team's three-year contract with Aldama has now officially taken effect. According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, it was a three-year contract of $52.5 million.

Aldama averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the regular season last season, with a 36.8% three-point shooting percentage, setting career highs in all figures. He played four games for the Grizzlies in the playoffs, averaging 13.0 points and 6.0 rebounds and shooting 41.7% from three points.

Finally, let's take a look at the two latest transaction rumors.

Knicks are interested in Ben Simmons and Landry Shamet

According to SNY reporter Ian Begley, the New York Knicks are interested in filling the last player quota with Ben Simmons and Landry Shamet. Currently, the Knicks still have room for a veteran’s basic salary contract and a rookie contract.

Simmons averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 51 games last season with the Nets and the Clippers. Shamet played 50 games for the Knicks last season, averaging 5.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.

Joel Embiid will be traded to the Brooklyn Nets

According to TSWN reporter Daniel Alameda, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid may be traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

Potential trading plans are:

Philadelphia 76ers get center Nick Clarkston, guard Cameron Thomas, forward Drew Tim, and Philadelphia's 2027 first-round draft pick (the Nets owned the draft pick) and the 2029 New York Knicks' first-round draft pick.

Brooklyn Nets got: center Joel Embiid,

This season, Embiid was reimbursed due to a left knee injury, and played in only 19 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, with 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, 2.2 fouls and 3.3 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 29 points

In addition, Philadelphia is also calling 29 other teams in the league to see if any team is willing to take over Paul George. The above two contract transactions are only rumors. Whether they can be truly reached depends on the official statement.
