Onyeka Okongwu made it official Wednesday, declaring for the NBA Draft after his freshman season at USC. Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Images The announcement was a formality for the projected lottery pick, but USC’s Onyeka Okongwu made it official Wednesday that he will leave the Trojans after one season and enter the NBA Draft.
The New York Knicks are waiving guard Landry Shamet. The Knicks had signed Shamet to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract earlier this offseason.
After the Knicks made trades for Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, it looked like Shamet may make the opening night roster. Unfortunately, Shamet suffered a dislocated shoulder earlier this week. It’s unclear when he’ll be available to play, but Shamet could re-sign with New York when he’s healthy.
The Knicks have three open standard roster spots. They’ll have to sign at least two players to get to the required minimum of 14 players on standard deals. One challenge for New York is that they have only $3.5 million in space under the second apron, where they are hard-capped as a result of the Bridges’ and Towns’ trades.
The Washington Wizards trade of Rui Hachimura to the Los Angeles Lakers has many speculating about their roster plans moving forward. From all indications, those plans include keep Kyle Kuzma in Washington.
The Wizards have reportedly told interested teams that Kuzma is not available in trade discussions. That includes the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns, who have had various trade talks with Washington in recent weeks.
Kuzma hasn’t committed to anything beyond this season, as far as his future goes. Kuzma holds a $13 million player option for next season that he’ll surely decline. Signing an extension with the Wizards is likely off the table, because such a deal wouldn’t pay him near his market value.
