Mason Plumlee has agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal to remain with the Clippers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Plumlee enjoyed a resurgent season for Charlotte before being dealt to LA at the trade deadline. He’ll return to play a backup role behind Ivica Zubac, though judging by the minutes split between the two centers, Plumlee’s status as a “backup” is in name only. He should see 20 minutes or more next season, which is enough to make him worth rostering in deeper leagues.
 
Anthony Edwards has agreed to a five-year, $260 million rookie max extension, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Ant Man is one of the NBA’s brightest young stars, and he’ll be with Minnesota as the team’s franchise centerpiece for years to come. Edwards averaged career-bests in points (24.6), rebounds (5.8), assists (4.4), steals (1.6) blocks (0.7) and FG% (45.9) last season, and he’ll look to take another step forward in Year 4.
 
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Justin Holiday has agreed to a one-year deal with the Nuggets.
The veteran journeyman has played for nine different teams over his 10-year NBA career, and he’ll make it an even 10 by joining Denver. Holiday should see some playing time off the bench, but it’s unlikely to amount to substantial fantasy value as he chases a title. Hey, it worked for Ish Smith, right?
 
Lonnie Walker IV has signed a one-year deal with the Nets, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Walker IV had a disappointing tenure in San Antonio, but his career got a shot in the arm with a strong playoff showing for the Lakers. He’ll join a young Nets team and look to keep the positive momentum going from last season as a reliable contributor off the bench.
 
Giannis went a knee cleanup surgery.

If he comes back healthy, I don't think Dame to the Heat means anything for who comes out of the east.
 
The Pelicans are waiving Garrett Temple, according to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype.
The Pelicans would’ve owed Temple $5.4 million if they still had him on the roster on July 7th, and since he wasn’t really an important part of their rotation last season, they let him go. Temple is a solid veteran that could play a role on a team.
 
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Magic have waived Bol Bol.
Bol had a breakout campaign in his first (and apparently only) season with the Magic, operating as a top-75 fantasy option for stretches throughout. The Lakers or Mavericks might be interested in the services of a stretch five, but realistically, any team wishing to acquire him could do so on the cheap. Bol’s ability to hit three-pointers and block shots makes him an intriguing fantasy option if he lands with a team willing to give him substantial minutes.

He has to be a Blazer next, right?

You can copy and post the actual link from Twitter on here in case anybody wants to go see it and the replies. Makes it easier actually.
 
Mavs acquiring Grant Williams from the Celtics in a sign-and-trade. Why didn't we try to get him? Seems like we could have really used a player like that. Mavs gave up 3 second rounders to get him. AND they're still signing Matisse to an offer sheet. Seems like ONE team is really TRYING to get its star to stick around, huh JOE CRONIN???

I would but these aren't from twitter so... :biglaugh:
 
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors have signed Trayce Jackson-Davis to a four-year deal.
Jackson-Davis’ draft rights were acquired from the Wizards as part of the Chris Paul trade, and he could be in line for minutes on the back end of the Warriors’ rotation this season. The former Indiana standout has agreed to a deal in which the first two seasons are guaranteed, a clear sign of what Warriors’ decision-makers think of him. Golden State hasn’t been afraid to go small with Draymond Green logging a few minutes at the five, and this may limit TJD’s early fantasy value. But he’s worth keeping an eye on, especially if the college skill set carries over into the NBA.

Noticing a pattern in your posts...Every player another team signs is not a failure by the Blazers. They have a little trade they need to work through before they start picking up random scraps.
