WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington point guard Isaiah Thomas was ejected in the first quarter of the Wizards’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night for making contact with an official.
The Washington Wizards were widely touted as not seriously considering a trade of Kyle Kuzma at the deadline, but sources tell The Athletic that the came “close” to agreeing to one offer.
The offer almost certainly came from the Dallas Mavericks, who instead acquired Daniel Gafford from the Wizards as well as PJ Washington from the Charlotte Hornets.
The Wizards were seeking at least two first round picks in order to trade Kuzma.
Washington values Kuzma’s play and off-court intangibles more than what the market dictated.
Kuzma’s contract descends each year, dropping from $23.5 million for 2024-25 to $21.5 million in 2025-26 to $19.4 million in 2026-27.
Josh Harris said the Philadelphia 76ers are continuing to work on convincing James Harden to remain with the franchise for the 23-24 season after they’ve been unable to find a workable trade.
“Listen, we’re hard at work,” Harris said Monday. “I respect James. I want to, obviously, accommodate what he wants. At the same time, I have to think about a championship-contending team, what we can get back. I’d love to convince him to stay. I understand that that’s not what he wants to do right now.
“I’m going to keep working to resolve it in a way that everyone can live with and is positive for everyone, whatever that resolution is. … I respect him as a basketball player, and as a person. It’s back to, these are, you’re dealing with people, right? And you’ve got to be there. We’ll see where it comes out.”
Harden attempted to increase the pressure on the Sixers to trade him by calling Daryl Morey “a liar” during an event in China.
The Sixers told Harden they intend for him to report to camp after the Los Angeles Clippers reportedly moved on from trade talks.
