NBA.com What’s the deal? The Los Angeles Lakers have signed Demarcus Cousins to a one year, $3.5 million contract. With increasingly limited options in free agency, both sides were compelled to make a deal after the Clipper’s signing of Kawhi Leonard. Many consider this contract to be a low-risk high-reward scenario. Just like last year at Golden State, Cousins will be playing to prove he is still worthy of a big contract. While this may very well be the case, there are some

Lakers Nation What’s the deal? Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Jared Dudley has agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal. What does Jared Dudley bring to the Lakers? Dudley was a key contributor both on and off the court in the Brooklyn Nets’ playoff surge last season that paved the way to attract superstar free agents Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. With the Nets reluctant to bring Dudley back, he reportedly pitched himself to the Lakers but secured LeBron James’ blessings fi

Bleacher Report One of the final free agents is reportedly off the market according to recent reports. Wing Shabazz Muhammad agreed to re-sign with the Milwaukee Bucks on an undisclosed deal at this stage. Muhammad joined the Bucks mid-season from Minnesota and produced 8.5 points per game along with 2.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 11 games. The former 2013 first round pick has shown flashes in his time with Minnesota and Milwaukee but has lacked consistency to make a real im

PHOTO CREDIT: BRAD PENNER-USA TODAY SPORTS Former Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor and the New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly agreed to a deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. A source added that the deal includes a partially guaranteed portion this upcoming 2018-19 season and a team option for the 2019-20 campaign. Apparently, Okafor had previously received interest from the Pelicans. As reported by Keith Smith, a close source to both parties said: "We almost got

July 30th, Anthony agreed to a contract buyout with the Atlanta Hawks worth about $25 million. This agreement is expected to be worth about $2.4 million, or the least amount of money Carmelo Anthony could sign for. This is also the same amount of money Anthony gave up in his buyout with the Atlanta Hawks last week. Anthony a

Photo Courtesy: Clutch Points With the 2018 free-agent period all but over (keep waiting @Clint Capela!), it’s never too early to turn an eye towards the 2019 free agent class, especially if you root for the many teams with no chance of dethroning Golden State this year. Even if some of the players below are retained by their current teams, the 2019 class is stacked with franchise changing talent and household names, promising next year will be yet another thrilling NBA offse

Celtics Blog The 2019 free agent class is even more stacked than this year’s one was. With rumours already heating up about some possible big names moving and/or teaming up, the 2019 free agency period is expected to produce some major fireworks. While this year’s period has been somewhat underwhelming , next year is sure to heat up. Here’s some of the biggest names available on next year’s market.

Courtesy of NBA.com Not all free agency moves are created equally. I previously wrote about some of the best new fits for teams around the league, on the flipside, here are some of the worst. You can debate as to whether the following signings were wholly horrible yet it can’t be argued there are going to be at least some issues with how the following players fit with their new squads.

QUEENS, NY – Summer, summer, summer time. LeBron James makes his way to Hollywood to team up with the Hall of Fame mogul, Magic Johnson. This is the ultimate power move extending far beyond the hardwood. Elegantly put by The Undefeated’s Martenzie Johnson, the collaboration is “the utopian example of black capitalism and economic self-sufficiency.” The NBA has been storybook. The Golden State Warriors’ signing of Boogie Cousins solidifies their Monstars squad. The summer leag

1. Wayne Ellington Photo Courtesy of Palm Beach Post In a league that prioritizes shooting, it is a bit perplexing that no one has scooped up Ellington yet. Ellington took awhile to find his footing in the NBA, but is coming off a career year with the Miami Heat. Perhaps Ellington wants too much in a cold market, and that is why he is still on the market, but he is a player that can help a lot of teams. The Miami Heat for one would love to have him back, as he is their only t

This was the moment the 2018-19 season was thrown into shambles. With a healthy DeMarcus Cousins, the Warriors starting lineup is the best in league history, no ifs ands or buts about it. There are valid concerns about whether Cousins will ever get back to full health after suffering an achilles injury; one of the worst you can suffer as an athlete, let alone for a 6’10 big man. Rudy Gay came back from it and has been solid but Boogie is aiming to come back even better, ala D
