The Orlando Magic have agreed to re-sign Goga Bitadze on a three-year, $25 million contract.
In 62 games with the Magic this past season, Bitadze averaged 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.4 minutes.
Bitadze is represented by Mike Lindeman, Jeff Schwartz and Jared Mucha.
Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have agreed to a five-year, $315 million supermax extension with a player option in Year 5. The deal is the largest in NBA history, eclipsing Jaylen Brown’s five-year, 295 million supermax extension signed during the 2023 offseason.
Tatum has been a First Team All-NBA Selection in each of the past three seasons.
Tatum, who is represented by Rishi Daulat and Jeffrey Wechsler, previously signed a five-year, $163 million extension with the Celtics in 2020.
Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to a three-year, $50 million sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors facilitating. The Charlotte Hornets will acquire Josh Green from the Mavericks as part of the trade for two future second round picks.
Thompson was a first round pick by the Warriors in 2011 and they went on to win four titles together. Thompson, who is represented by Greg Lawrence, is coming off a five-year, $190 million contract agreed upon in 2019 following his ACL tear in Game 6 of The Finals. In 77 games last season, Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 38.7 percent on three-pointers.
Thompson also strongly considered the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson had four-year offers for more money elsewhere, but taking less was reportedly offset by an opportunity to win a title with Dallas and the difference in state income taxes.
