    • Report: BOS to exercise Sam Hauser’s team option
      According to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, the Celtics will exercise Sam Hauser’s team option for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Boston lead executive Brad Stevens has made it clear that the team wants to keep Hauser, and this report aligns with that desire. Hauser is in line to make $2.1 million next season, and the decision to pick up his option allows the Celtics to negotiate an extension. Talks on an extension cannot begin until July 9, per league rules. Hauser provided Boston with reliable 3-point production as the team won the NBA championship this season, and he’ll have added value in 2024-25 due to Kristaps Porzingis likely missing 5-6 months after undergoing left leg surgery.

    • Option picked up
      The Celtics will exercise Hauser's $2.1 million option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Both parties are expected to have negotiations on an extension after the window to do so opens July 9, but for the time being, Hauser will at least be back with the Celtics for the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old has seen his role grow with the club in each of the three years he has been on the team. He was a key rotational piece on this season's championship-winning squad, averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.5 steals across 22.0 minutes in 79 games.

    • Chris Paul agrees to push back guarantee date
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Chris Paul has agreed to push back the date to guarantee his $30 million contract for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Paul’s agreement to push back the date to the start of free agency (6:00 p.m ET on Sunday) gives Golden State the chance to explore potential trade routes for the veteran point guard. He’s in the autumn years of his career, but he can still be an end-of-bench fantasy option thanks in large part to his elite production in the assists category. Rotoworld Friday, 12:17 pm
       
    • Contract guarantee date pushed back
      Paul and the Warriors intend to move back the guarantee deadline on the point guard's contract to Sunday, the start of free agency, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday.

      Advice: If the Warriors guaranteed Paul's contract for 2024-25, the veteran would earn $30 million next season. Golden State can't afford that price and doesn't want to lose Paul in free agency for nothing, while the point guard likely agreed to this so he'd get a say in where he's potentially traded. Wojnarowski relays that the Warriors are still exploring trades, but what type of market Paul has at this point in his career remains unclear. He averaged a career-low 9.2 points per game in 2023-24.

    • Immanuel Quickley to sign 5-year, $175M extension
      The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Immanuel Quickley will sign a five-year, $175 million extension with Toronto.

      Advice: Quickley enjoyed a breakout 2023-24 campaign that began in earnest after he arrived in Toronto. He finished inside the top 100 in per-game fantasy hoops value last season, but he’s got mid-round upside heading into his first full season as a Raptor. Rotoworld Friday, 7:13 am
       
    • Agrees to $175 million deal
      Quickley agreed to sign a five-year, $175 million contract with the Raptors on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Raptors acquired the 25-year-old from the Knicks in December, and he turned up his game in Toronto as he started in all 38 appearances. Quickley averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.3 minutes while shooting 39.5 percent from deep for the Raptors. He was entering the 2024-25 campaign as a restricted free agent but has now secured a massive deal shortly after teammate Scottie Barnes agreed to a max contract. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:49 am
       
    • Set for four-year extension
      Claxton intends to sign a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Nets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Less than 24 hours after dealing Mikal Bridges to the Knicks, Brooklyn is on the verge of locking up Claxton for four seasons. The 24-year-old started in each of his 147 appearances over the last two seasons, averaging 11.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in 2024. Claxton's name had been rumored in trade talks this offseason with the Nets slated for a rebuild, but for now, he's one of the franchise's cornerstones. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:46 pm
       
    • Woj: Nic Claxton intends to re-sign with Brooklyn
      Nic Claxton intends to re-sign with the Nets on a four-year, $100 million deal, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

      Advice: The Nets may be shifting towards a tank after making two big trades on Tuesday, but they’ll retain Claxton for at least four more seasons. The athletic big should continue to be a strong fantasy asset, and he may get the chance to grow his offensive game on a tanking squad. Noah Clowney had a chance to move into the starting unit if Claxton walked, but he will still see a significant role next season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:38 pm
