The Hornets have officially waived forward Mouhamadou Gueye, the team announced on Thursday (via Twitter). The move had long been expected, especially since the Spanish team Valencia Basket announced last week that it had reached an agreement to add Gueye to its roster for the coming season. After going undrafted out of Pitt in 2022, […]
The Golden State Warriors selected Yaxel Lendeborg with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft despite not making a positive first impression on the organization one year earlier.
Colby Jones is no longer a free agent, having signed a one-year contract with Bàsquet Manresa, the Spanish team announced in a press release. After spending three college seasons with Xavier, Jones was selected 34th overall in the 2023 NBA draft. He began his professional career on a standard contract with the Kings, but didn’t […]
Karim Lopez, the 21st overall pick in the 2026 draft, officially signed his rookie scale contract with the Grizzlies on Wednesday, making him the last of this year’s first-round picks to formally join his new NBA team. However, while first-rounders are 30-for-30 in terms of signing their first NBA contracts, the completion rate for second-rounders […]
The Mavericks invested heavily in international talent this summer as new president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri rebuilt the roster with a strong “overseas flavor.” A rival team’s lead overseas scout told Keith Smith of Spotrac during Summer League conversations that much of the credit should go to general manager Mike Schmitz, who has a wealth […]
The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t had much in terms of younger talent with great potential for development in recent years, but that is starting to change.

Right after the draft and before free agency I wrote a series talking about what the Golden State Warriors divisional rivals had been cooking up. It’s time to take it to the next level and talk about what these foos did after that. The Los Angeles Lakers are a team the Warriors have to worry about ever year in the Pacific Divsion, but this summer that team doesn’t have LeBron James anymore. Before Golden State gets lost in its own offseason business, it’s worth understanding what LA actually ...
On July 1, 2018, LeBron James announced he was signing a four-year $153.3 million contract to play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers. At the time he announced this move, there were no other superstars coming with him, and no immediately clear path to him extending his personal streak of making eight consecutive Finals. No, he’d be “going at it alone,” joining a roster of mostly unproven young players — some high lottery picks, some deeper draft/undrafted steals — and a few holdover vetera...
