Frank Ntilikina has agreed to a one-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets. The deal is partially guaranteed.
Ntilikina played in 47 games last season for the Dallas Mavericks.
Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a three-year, $186 million extension through 2028.
Davis had two years and $84 million remaining on his contract.
Davis’ deal is the richest annual contract extension in NBA history, averaging $62 million a season.
“Couldn’t think more highly of Anthony Davis as a Laker and as a player,” Rob Pelinka said recently “He’s helped deliver a championship to our franchise. He’s been an incredible captain and leader.”
Derrick White has only been with the Boston Celtics for a year-and-a-half, but he feels at home in Boston. So much so, that White recently said he’d be welcome to an extension with the Celtics.
“I love being here in Boston. It would be cool to get an extension,” White said. “We’ll see what happens during that window, but I’ve loved my time in Boston so far and my focus right now is just on the season.”
That focus this season is on being the Celtics primary point guard. With the trade of Marcus Smart, White is expected to take on more of an on-ball role with Boston this season.
“I’m looking forward to it,” White said about the change in his role. “I’ll definitely have the ball in my hands, more of a playmaker role, and I’m looking forward to grow with the team and just get us in the right position each and every time.”
