    • 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.

    • 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
       
    • To hit free agency
      The Kings did not extend a qualifying offer to Edwards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

      Advice: Edwards is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. He made 54 appearances for the Kings in 2023-24 but didn't make much of an impact with an average of 1.7 points in 5.1 minutes per contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm
       
    • To become free agent
      The Pistons declined Umude's (ankle) team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Umude missed the end of the 2023-24 season with a hairline fracture in his ankle, and a timetable isn't currently known. Umude will now have to test the open market as a free agent after making 24 appearances with the Pistons last season with averages of 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

    • Report: Damion Lee declining Suns player option
      According to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto, Damion Lee has decided to opt out of his player option with the Suns ahead of the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Lee missed all of last season with a meniscus tear and will look to pursue a new deal after taking all of 2023-24 to recover from surgery. He averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in his lone full season with Phoenix. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
       
    • Will test free agency
      Lee (knee) declined his $2.85 million player option with the Suns on Saturday, and he will test unrestricted free agency, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Lee saw decent playing time in his first, and possibly final, season with Phoenix. The 31-year-old averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 20.4 minutes in 74 regular-season games. What was most impressive about Lee's game was his improved shot from long range. The six-year NBA veteran made a career-high 44.5 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:01 pm
       
    • Hits free agency
      The Knicks did not extend a two-way qualifying offer to Brown (concussion) on Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Brown played on a two-way contract with the Knicks last season but made just eight appearances at the NBA level. He's likely to have a lukewarm market in free agency. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:45 pm
       
    • To become free agent
      The Jazz did not extend a qualifying offer to Lewis on Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Lewis will now be able to test the open market to find a new franchise. After Lewis was traded from the Raptors to the Jazz in 2023-24, he proceeded to make just 12 appearances with 3.8 points and 1.6 assists per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm
