According to New York Post’s Stefan Bondy, Jordan Clarkson has made the decision to sign with the New York Knicks on a one-year deal worth $3.6 million.

This comes immediately afterwards of finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, as he was in the final year of his multi-year contract with the organization. The 33-year-old had been with Utah since 2020.

As all good things must come to an end, Clarkson put an ending to that chapter of his career and decided to take his talents to a playoff contender. Per multiple reports, Clarkson only wanted to play for a franchise that had the ability to go and make a playoff run.

The last time Clarkson was in the postseason was back in the 2021-22 season.

Last season, Clarkson averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 37 game appearances.

According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, Jonathan Kuminga’s trade market has been steadily growing over some time now; enough for it to make headlines and have multiple teams interested in the talented young player.

The Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, and Chicago Bulls are the four listed teams who have legit interest in getting him through a sign-and-trade scenario.

While the Golden State Warriors have not ruled out the possibility of re-signing him, it’s increasingly likely of them to rather trade him, get a nice return, than to pay him what he wants.

Last season, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Nicolas Batum has signed a two-year, $11.5 million extension with the Los Angeles Clippers. Many are expecting to his final contract of his NBA career.

The official details of this deal will include a trade kicker and a team option in the second year.

Batum will turn 37 in December, as the veteran appeared in 78 games last season. In 17.5 minutes per game, he averaged 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
