Inside NBA: Trade and Free Agency Continues as New Season Approaches

There are only 22 days left before the new season of the NBA opens. As the brand-new season approaches, several trades are on the block - perhaps these are something to look out for. The market is on the hunt for fresh talents out there. Let us take a look at the recent acquisitions that happened inside the NBA trade tracer during the last seven days. 

November 29

It is a surprising sight to see Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward in a new uniform. This time, the Celtics move to trade Hayward, together with two future 2023 and 2024 second-round picks to Charlotte Hornets for a future 2022 second-round pick. However, the 2022 second-round choice will only be picked if the Hornets will be in the top 5 in the upcoming season. Nicolas Batum has been waived to clear the space for Hayward. This agreement also includes a $28.5 million trade exception, which is the same as Hayward's salary. So far, it is the largest trade exception in the history of the NBA.

November 28

Veteran forward Udonis Haslem re-signed for the Miami Heat on his 18th NBA appearance. Haslem has only played 44 games in four seasons.

35th pick of this year's draft Xavier Tillmar Sr. signs a four-year agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist inked a one-year contract with the New York Knicks.

November 27

Utah Jazz seems to be needing more funds as they send Rayjon Tucker and a future second-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

 In another agreement, the Dallas Mavericks and veteran guard J.J. Barea settled for a veteran minimum pay for one year, giving more room to sign more prospects.

Tyler Johnson also shared the same fate as the Brooklyn Nets re-signed him for the veterans minimum.

Toronto Raptors signed Alize Johnson, who played for Indiana Pacers for two seasons.

November 26

Australian player Will Magnay will sign a two-way agreement with New Orleans Pelicans.

Sacramento Kings look forward to meeting Frank Kaminsky in a one-year agreement. Kaminsky became a free agent when he was denied of team option worth $5.2 million.

Chicago Bulls finalized a one-year contract with Zach Norvell Jr.

Power forward Bruno Caboclo continued his contract with the Houston Rockets.

Derrick Walton Jr. heads to the Philadelphia 76ers for his one-year contract.

Nick Stauskas signed for the Milwaukee Bucks for the additional arsenal of the team.

Indiana Pacers concluded a two-year agreement with Kelan Martin.

Veteran shooter Marco Belinelli will head to Italian team Virtus Bologna after signing a three-year deal. He will not play for the NBA next season.

Chicago Bulls added another big man as they signed Noah Vonleh for a one-year agreement.

November 25

Center Hassan Whiteside, who averages 2.9 blocks per game last season, agreed to a one-year contract with the Sacramento Kings.

November 24

Moving forward, the Atlanta Hawks added another threat from the outside as they signed Bogdan Bogdanovic to a four-year contract for $72 million.

Veteran guard Wayne Ellington signed with the Detroit Pistons in a $2.6 million one-year agreement.

Bol Bol will remain as a rookie next season after the Denver Nuggets decided to go with the standard contract with him. The rookie center only played for Nuggets in seven games in the bubble.

Philadelphia 76ers signed Ryan Broekhoff after being waived by the Dallas Mavericks last February.

The Miami Heat handed Star center Bam Adebayo a max extension in a five-year contract.

Brandon Ingram also extended the five-year deal into a $158 maximum contract.

November 23

Phoenix Suns signed 28-year-old guard Langston Galloway.

Steven Adams, a former Oklahoma City Thunder center, will be sent to New Orleans Pelicans after agreeing to a $35 million two-year contract.

John Wall is still hanging in the corner as Washington Wizards said they still have no plan to trade the former star. Wall did not play many games last season following his ruptured Achilles.

DeMarcus Cousins leave the Lakers for good after signing with the Houston Rockets in a veterans minimum deal for one year. Since his Achilles injury in 2018, the former All-Star big man dwindled his potential.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome guard Matthew Dellavedova to a one-year minimum deal. Dellavedova was part of the 2014-2015 Cleveland champion team. They also signed Damyean Dotson to a two-year agreement for $4 million.

Toronto Raptors signed Alex Len to a $2.3 million one-year deal.

Markieff Morris announced on twitter that he would come back to the Lakers.

Atlanta Hawks signed Solomon Hill to a one-year contract.

The Phoenix Suns will continue their business with forward Dario Saric after signing him to $27 million for three years.

Either way, there are still more trades and happenings that will take place as the preseason comes near. We never know what is next inside the tracker. Stay put and wait for the next updates in the upcoming days.
