The Lakers didn’t target the splashy, headline names affiliated with offseason approaches of yesteryear. They instead agreed to deals with players who fit.
After spending the 2016-17 season with the Thunder, Victor Oladipo bounced around the league, playing for three teams over the next six seasons. Now, the veteran wing is reportedly headed back to Oklahoma City.
The Heat are trading Oladipo to the Thunder after his two-plus seasons in Miami, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The move will create a $9.45 million trade exception for the Heat.
Oladipo, who was originally drafted by the Magic in 2013, was traded to the Heat from the Rockets during the 2020-21 season.
Bane agreed to a max extension three seasons after joining the Grizzlies as the last pick in the first round of the draft.
The move puts the Heat below a punitive luxury tax apron and creates a $9.45 million trade exception.
The University of Colorado made the splash of the off-season when they hired Deion Sanders as head coach.
Sanders immediately brought a swagger, new attitude and increased expectations to Boulder.
But he also brought an incredible amount of roster turnover.
And while the Buffaloes didn’t exactly have the strongest roster during the 2022 season, not everyone is convinced the massive influx of transfers will be that successful.
In fact, according to Athlon Sports, one anonymous Pac-12 head coach said he believes it’s a “lose-lose” situation.
Derrick Rose has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal to join the Grizzlies, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Ian Begley of SNY-TV first reported the news. Rose’s deal is reportedly worth $6.5 million, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Rose returns to Memphis 15 years after playing his lone season at the University of Memphis, where he led the Tigers on a NCAA Final Four run and an unforgettable battle in the 2008 men’s national championship game against Kansas.
Pat McAfee was thrilled to elevate The Pat McAfee Show from FanDuel to ESPN in May on a reported five-year, $85 million contract, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
However, on Friday, ESPN laid off a long list of high-caliber on-air personalities that include NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy, longtime television personality Max Kellerman and former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson as well as Monday Night Countdown host Suzy Kolber to name a few.
Kyrie Irving returning to the Mavericks this offseason was widely considered the most likely scenario for the eight-time All-Star. Even so, in the lead-up to NBA free agency—which opened Friday evening—multiple reports indicated that he would be exploring other options, even as the market for his services seemed relatively small.
The Lakers, led by Irving’s fellow former Cavaliers star LeBron James, had been linked to him for a year.
Fred VanVleet is Houston-bound, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Erika Ruiz told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
