Celtics’ Gordon Hayward gets shots up before Game 7 vs. Raptors

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that longtime NBA point guard John Wall was negotiating a contract with Italian club Armani Milan. That’s not the case, according to Wall himself.

“Where Do Y’all Get Ur Info from? False News !!” is what Wall quote-tweeted in response to an aggregation account that reshared the information about the talks in Italy. Wall remains an unrestricted free agent.

Wall played in 34 games with the LA Clippers last season, after returning from sitting out the previous year-and-a-half with the Houston Rockets. Wall was re-acquired by the Rockets in a trade deadline deal that sent Eric Gordon to the Clippers. The Rockets subsequently waived Wall for a second time.

The Dallas Mavericks have agreed to acquire Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris from the Brooklyn Nets for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, an unprotected first round pick in 2029, and second round picks in 2027 and 2029.

Irving is currently set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Irving and the Nets were unable to agree to terms on a contract extension.

Irving joined the Nets in free agency in 2019 and had a tumultuous tenure with the franchise. Irving initially requested a departure from the Nets in 2022, but that was rescinded after no deal materialized.

Irving has familiarity with Jason Kidd and Nico Harrison of the Mavericks. The Mavericks have been searching for a second star to pair with Luka Doncic after letting Jalen Brunson walk in free agency.

According to Marc Stein of Substack, the Mavericks consulted Doncic before agreeing to the trade.
