    • Returning to NBA with Clippers
      Porter and the Clippers agreed to terms Sunday on a two-year deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the second year of the deal is a player option, and both years are for the veteran's minimum and are fully guaranteed. Porter didn't play in the NBA this past season after being arrested on an assault charge on a domestic incident that occurred in September, with the Rockets trading him a month later to the Thunder, who immediately waived him. In January, Porter accepted a plea deal in relation to the arrest, then played overseas in Greece in the spring. Though Porter's legal situation looks to be resolved, it's unclear whether he'll face discipline from the NBA during the 2024-25 season now that he's resurfaced in the league with the Clippers. Over 59 regular-season appearances with the Rockets during the 2022-23 campaign, Porter averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.3 minutes per game. Even if Porter isn't subject to any sort of suspension, he won't be in store for nearly as large of a role with LA as he had previously handled in Houston. Rotowire.com Today, 4:19 pm
       
    • Report: Kings pursuing trade for Brandon Ingram
      According to Sean Cunningham of the Sacramento Bee, the Kings are pursuing a trade for Pelicans wing Brandon Ingram.

      Advice: Pelicans lead executive David Griffin hinted that significant changes were coming to the team’s roster after they were swept out of the playoffs. Ingram’s name has often been mentioned in the trade rumor mill, as he’s entering the final season of his current contract. Sacramento needs to increase its wing production, so it makes sense that the Kings would come up in the most recent Ingram rumor. Also, former Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry is part of the Sacramento front office, and Ingram’s emergence coincided with Gentry’s time in New Orleans. Rotoworld Today, 3:15 pm
       
    • Shams: Klay officially leaving Warriors
      The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Klay Thompson will leave the Warriors in free agency.

      Advice: Shams notes that the two sides will work on sign-and-trade options. It’s not a surprising update, but we’ve finally received confirmation that Thompson will not be a Warrior after 13 seasons and four rings with the franchise that drafted him. Rotoworld Today, 3:04 pm
       
    • Commits to Clips for two years
      Harden agreed Sunday with the Clippers on a two-year, $70 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Harden and the Clippers came to agreement on a new deal just minutes before NBA free agency officially began, though the contract won't become official until at least Saturday. In any case, the 34-year-old point guard is locked in for two more seasons with LA, coming off an inaugural season with the Clippers in which he averaged his fewest points per game (16.6) since 2010-11, but still posted strong marks in just about every other category (8.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks). With Paul George hitting the open market and not expected to return to the Clippers, Harden will likely shoulder more of the offensive load in 2024-25 alongside Kawhi Leonard (knee).

    • James Harden to return to LAC on two-year deal
      Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that James Harden will sign a two-year, $70 million deal to return to the Clippers.

      Advice: Harden enjoyed a productive first season with the Clippers, finishing with averages of 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.6 triples. Most of those numbers were declines in last season’s production, particularly his points, but Harden still finished as an early third-rounder in fantasy hoops. His ability to stuff the stat sheet should keep him in the third-round range for 2024-25, and he could see a bump in production if Paul George leaves in free agency. Rotoworld Today, 2:56 pm
       
    • Woj: Max Christie to ink 4-year, $32M extension
      ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Max Christie intends to sign a four-year, $32 million deal to remain with the Lakers.

      Advice: A 2022 second-round pick out of Michigan State, Christie averaged 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds across 14.1 minutes in 67 appearances last season. Woj notes that Christie has been a “developmental success story” for the Lakers, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be a success story for your fantasy hoops team. There’s no reason to target Christie in 2024-25 drafts. Rotoworld Today, 2:13 pm
       
    • Staying in L.A. on four-year deal
      Christie agreed Sunday with the Lakers on a four-year, $32 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: After tending a qualifying offer to Christie, the Lakers had the right to match any offer the young guard might have received as a restricted free agent, but the two sides worked quickly to come to terms on a new deal. The 21-year-old appeared in 67 games (seven starts) in his second NBA season in 2023-24, averaging 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 14.1 minutes. He fell out of the rotation during the postseason, but the Lakers' financial commitment to Christie likely suggests he's expected to become more of a key cog on the second unit in 2024-25.

    • Haynes: ‘Growing optimism’ PHI signs Paul George
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, there is “growing optimism” that Philadelphia will sign Paul George in free agency.

      Advice: George’s desire for a four-year deal factored into his decision to opt out of the final season of his contract, as the Clippers have only offered three-year pacts thus far. Philadelphia has long been rumored as a potential landing spot for George, and the 76ers clearly remain interested despite reports to the contrary on June 20. George will reportedly hold meetings with the Clippers, 76ers, and Magic when free agency begins, but it’s fair to wonder if this report changes things for LA and Orlando.

    • Becoming restricted free agent
      San Antonio extended Duke a qualifying offer Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

      Advice: Duke didn't appear in a game for San Antonio last season until April despite being on a two-way contract. Still, he was a standout performer with the Spurs' G League affiliate, and the Spurs will now have the option to match opposing offers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am
