    • Report: Nicolas Batum not returning to 76ers
      According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, Nicolas Batum will not be re-signing with the 76ers.

      Advice: While Batum gave the 76ers solid minutes last season, re-signing him is not a priority, with Paul George and Klay Thompson being rumored targets. Batum should land with a team with playoff ambitions, but he’s unlikely to do enough to offer reliable fantasy value. Rotoworld Today, 3:28 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
       
    • Remaining in Miami
      Love agreed Sunday with the Heat on a two-year deal worth over $8 million, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: On Saturday, Love declined his $4.03 million player option for the 2024-25 season, but he'll remain with Miami after quickly coming to terms on a two-year deal. The 35-year-old made 55 regular-season appearances for Miami in 2023-24, averaging 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 16.8 minutes per game. He'll look to fend off rookie first-round pick Kel'el Ware for the primary backup role behind starting center Bam Adebayo. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm
       
    • Shams: Heat, Kevin Love agree to two-year contract
      According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Kevin Love and the Heat are finalizing a two-year, $8 million deal.

      Advice: Love opted out of the final season of his contract on Saturday, but the expectation was that he and the Heat would agree to a new deal. That has reportedly happened, with the veteran center in line to provide additional frontcourt depth. Miami did select Kel’El Ware with the No. 15 pick in last week’s draft, but retaining love will help with the rookie’s development behind All-Star Bam Adebayo. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 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
       
    • 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.

    • Latches on with GSW
      Knox is part of the Warriors' Summer League roster.

      Advice: Knox started the 2023-24 campaign with Detroit but was traded to the Jazz in February and released shortly after, ending up with the Rip City Remix of the G League. The 2018 lottery pick will get a chance to prove he's worthy of a roster spot with Golden State this Summer. Rotowire.com Today, 1:38 pm
       
    • 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. Rotoworld Today, 1:05 pm
