The Dallas Mavericks remain interested in trading for Clint Capela. With the Atlanta Hawks one of the teams most interested in trading for Pascal Siakam, the Mavericks could participate in a potential trade involving the Toronto Raptors to take on Capela.
Capela has two seasons remaining on his contract at nearly $43 million.
With the Raptors re-signing Jakob Poeltl, they are not likely to have interest in taking on Capela.
The Mavericks and Hawks discussed a Capela trade before the draft, but the addition of Josh Green was a sticking point.
New Orleans Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said his team never talked about trading Zion Williamson this offseason. Griffin added that those rumors weren’t credible and were “manufactured”.
“We never had a single (trade) conversation that Zion was part of,” Griffin said.
Griffin added that Williamson’s relationship with the Pelicans remains a strong one.
“I would say that it’s as good as it’s ever been,” Griffin said of Williamson’s relationship with the team.
The Phoenix Suns continue to replenish their draft pick coffers, after trading most of their picks in the Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal deals. The Suns latest deal to add future picks was with the Orlando Magic.
Orlando is sending Phoenix three second-round picks in exchange for the right to swap 2026 first-round picks. 2026 is one of the few remaining Suns first-round picks that they own outright.
Phoenix had previously worked a similar deal with the Memphis Grizzlies to add three second-round picks. That brings Phoenix to a total of six second-round selections added over the last two weeks.
The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a one-year deal with Bol Bol. The Orlando Magic had waived Bol earlier this offseason.
Bol appeared in 70 games with the Magic last season, with 33 starts. He averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 21.5 minutes per game.
The Phoenix Suns are trading Cameron Payne and a second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for a second-round pick. Payne’s $6.5 million contract for this upcoming season was guaranteed earlier this offseason.
Payne has played the last four seasons for Phoenix. Last season, Payne averaged 10.3 points and 4.5 assists in 20.2 minutes per game.
