    • Knicks pick up team option
      The Knicks have picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

      Advice: Sims will return to the Knicks for at least one more year. This comes amid uncertainty around Isaiah Hartenstein's future with the club, as the Knicks have reported interest in bringing the big man back. Sims appeared in 45 regular-season games last year, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes per game Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm
       
    • To become free agent
      The Magic declined Wagner's $8 million team option for the 2024-25 season on Saturday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

      Advice: Despite this move by the Magic, Wojnarowski reports that there is mutual interest to negotiate a fresh deal in free agency. Wagner made 80 appearances for the Magic last season, posting averages of 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes per contest.

    • Knicks extend qualifying offer
      The Knicks extended their two-way qualifying offer to Toppin on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Toppin was a non-factor for the Knicks last season, during which he averaged 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds across 4.2 minutes in nine regular-season games. However, the 24-year-old averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks across 36.7 minutes per game with the team's G League affiliate. Toppin has shown promise, but he will likely not see a significant uptick in NBA playing time next season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:08 pm
       
    • Picks up player option
      Craig exercised his $2.8 million player option with the Bulls for the 2024-25 season Saturday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

      Advice: Craig will remain with the Bulls and will try to build his market value back up after an injury-plagued campaign in 2023-24. In 53 appearances for the Bulls, Craig produced averages of 5.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Exercises player option
      Reddish (ankle) exercised his $2.46 million player option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Reddish had the worst statistical year of his career in 2023-2024, during which he averaged 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 20.5 minutes in 48 regular-season games. The 24-year-old has bounced around of late, playing for four different teams over the last three years. Reddish has failed to live up to his draft stock, and he will hope to improve next season before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2025-26. Rotowire.com Today, 2:02 pm
       
    • Declines player option Saturday
      George declined his $48.7 million player option with the Clippers on Saturday, and he will now become an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: George declining his player option now takes any hope of a trade off the table for the Clippers. The All-Star will plan on meeting with several teams who have the cap space to sign him, the Clippers included. George was tasked with carrying the offensive load in the playoffs during Kawhi Leonard's (knee) absence last season, and the Clippers' refusal to extend him on a four-year maximum contract is likely the reason why he elected to become a free agent. The 34-year-old averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals across 33.8 minutes in 74 regular-season games. George also shot 47.1 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from three, both career highs for the 14-year veteran. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
       
    • Enters free agency but could return
      The Thunder declined Wiggins' $2 million team option Saturday, but the team is expected to offer the 25-year-old a long-term deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Wiggins' efficiency was through the roof last season, during which he shot a career-high 56.2 percent from the field in his third year with OKC. The 25-year-old is expected to be brought back on a long-term deal with the Thunder once free agency officially opens in July. By doing this, the Thunder allow themselves to spend $30 million before potentially re-signing both Isaiah Joe and Wiggins. In a career-high 78 regular-season appearances last year, Wiggins averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.7 steals across 15.7 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Today, 1:29 pm
       
    • Mutual interest between Klay Thompson, Dallas
      There is “strong mutual interest” between Klay Thompson and the Mavericks, per Marc Stein.

      Advice: There have been multiple reports that talks between Klay and the Warriors haven’t been going well, and there have also been reports that Dallas is interested in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Both players would bring championship pedigree and deep range shooting, so it isn’t surprising that Klay is being linked to Dallas. Thompson would likely fill out the starting small forward spot if he joins the Mavs and see plenty of open triples, courtesy of Luka Doncic. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:17 pm
       
    • Report: Teams willing to give George 4-year deal
      According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, multiple teams are willing to give Paul George the four-year max deal he’s currently seeking.

      Advice: George has three days to decide whether or not to opt into the final season of his contract, which would be worth more than $48.8 million. While he and the Clippers have discussed a potential extension, they have not reached an agreement. George has been looking for a maximum contract of four years, but the Clippers have not gone that far. According to Windhorst, there are teams willing to take that step should PG become available via free agency or opt-in and trade. “I have been told that multiple teams out there are willing to trade for him and offer him the four-year max contract that he’s not currently being offered by the Clippers,” Windhorst said. “That means he’s got a set of options. But the question is, are the Clippers going to play ball with such a deal, or are they going to risk losing him for nothing if he can walk to a team like Philadelphia or Orlando?” Kawhi Leonard received his extension during the season, but it only runs three years in length. In addition to George, the Clippers will have to address James Harden’s status, as he will be an unrestricted free agent. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:35 am
