Report: Andre Iguodala reaches compromise with Grizzlies, says he ‘fell out laughing’ over trade

Nassir Little is drawing attention from a number of teams following his performance in the G League Showcase. Little is still just 25 and one of the better wing defenders in the G League.

“He’s one of the better game-ready call-up guys,” said one veteran scout.

Little was on a $6.25 million contract last season with the Phoenix Suns and remains unsigned. Little turned down lucrative overseas opportunities to continue looking for an NBA contract. Sources say Little is expected to be signed by some team in the coming weeks.

In preseason with the Miami Heat, Little averaged 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.5 minutes over two games. Over 16 G League games with Sioux Falls, Little is averaging 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 33.8 minutes.

Jamal Murray hasn’t had his full breakout season just yet. But the Denver Nuggets are prepared to pay him when he does.

“We’re anticipating that we’re probably paying him the supermax,” Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth said. “He’ll probably make All-NBA.”

Booth added that Denver knows that a supermax extension for Murray will put a lot of salary on their cap sheet, but that they’ll be happy to offer it anyway.

“It’s going to be a hit to our salary cap,” Booth said. “But I love seeing people reach their potential when they play the way he can.”

Murray has yet to be named to an All-Star team, never mind All-NBA. In order to qualify for a supermax extension, Murray would need to be named to the All-NBA team this season or next season. Murray’s current deal has two years left, running through the 2024-25 season.
