Armaan Franklin Signing Exhibit 10 Deal With Nuggets

June 23rd, 2023 at 10:18am CST by Arthur Hill

The Nuggets will sign Virginia’s Armaan Franklin to an Exhibit 10 contract, tweets Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.

The 22-year-year old guard was the Cavaliers’ leading scorer this season at 12.4 points per game and earned a spot on the All-ACC Tournament team. He transferred to Virginia in 2021 after playing his first two years at Indiana.

Franklin will join the NBA champs for training camp and will have an opportunity to turn the Exhibit 10 contract into a two-way deal. If he is waived, he can earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he spends at least 60 days with Denver’s G League affiliate, the Rapids City Gold.

Cavs Exercising Lamar Stevens’ 2023/24 Team Option

June 23rd, 2023 at 9:36am CST by Luke Adams

The Cavaliers are picking up their minimum-salary team option on forward Lamar Stevens for the 2023/24 season, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).

The option will pay Stevens a $1,930,681 salary for next season, though he’s still not necessarily assured of that full amount. His salary will remain non-guaranteed until January 10 even after Cleveland exercises the option, so the club could go in a different direction later in the offseason – or early in the regular season – and avoid being on the hook for his entire cap hit.

Still, Stevens looks like a good value at that price, so it would be a surprise if he’s cut. The 6’6″ wing appeared in 62 games for the Cavs last season, starting 25 of them and averaging 18.1 minutes per night. He recorded 5.3 PPG and 3.3 RPG on .448/.316/.702 shooting and was one of the team’s most reliable perimeter defenders.

While most team option decisions are due on June 29, today is the deadline to make a call on Stevens, which is why it was reported early.

Stevens is now on track to reach unrestricted free agency in 2024, assuming he doesn’t sign an extension before then.

Thunder To Sign Caleb McConnell To Exhibit 10 Deal

June 23rd, 2023 at 9:17am CST by Luke Adams

The Thunder are signing former Rutgers wing Caleb McConnell to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to the school.

McConnell, who went undrafted on Thursday, spent five years at Rutgers, taking advantage of the extra year of NCAA eligibility he was granted due to COVID-19. As a super-senior in 2022/23, he averaged 9.1 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.1 APG, and 2.5 SPG in 28 contests (33.7 MPG).

McConnell isn’t much of a threat on offense. He shot 39.0% from the floor over the course of his college career, including just 26.3% on three-pointers. However, he became the Scarlet Knights’ all-time leader in steals and won a pair of Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards.

McConnell’s Exhibit 10 contract should give him an opportunity to suit up for the Thunder’s G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, as a rookie in 2023/24. He could earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he’s waived by the Thunder and then spends up to 60 days with the Blue. McConnell’s Exhibit 10 deal could also be converted into a two-way contract if OKC decides it wants to keep him on the NBA roster.

Bucks To Sign Drew Timme To Exhibit 10 Contract

June 23rd, 2023 at 8:36am CST by Luke Adams

After going undrafted on Thursday, former Gonzaga forward Drew Timme has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).

Timme spent four college seasons at Gonzaga, building an impressive résumé before declaring for the 2023 draft as an early entrant. He was a three-time consensus All-American and won the WCC Player of the Year award in both 2022 and 2023.

In his final year with the Bulldogs, the 6’10” big man averaged 21.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 31.5 minutes per game across 37 appearances, making 61.6% of his shots from the floor.

Timme’s Exhibit 10 contract will be a one-year, non-guaranteed deal worth the rookie minimum. Milwaukee will have the option of converting it into a two-way contract prior to the regular season. Timme could also earn a bonus worth up to $75K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ G League affiliate.

Timme is the second undrafted free agent reported to have reached a contract agreement with Milwaukee. The team is also set to sign San Jose State’s Omari Moore to a two-way deal.

Lillard Won’t Rush Into Decision About Future With Trail Blazers

June 23rd, 2023 at 2:02am CST by Arthur Hill

The Trail Blazers held onto their draft picks instead of trading them for veteran help like Damian Lillard preferred, but Shams Charania of The Athletic (video link) said the star guard doesn’t plan to make any snap judgments about his future with the team (hat tip to Real GM).

“I’m told the timeline for when the future will land with Damian Lillard likely extends now between tonight and the start of free agency and into free agency,” Charania said on Stadium’s draft show.

Portland used the No. 3 selection to take G League Ignite star Scoot Henderson, who was considered a definitive top-three pick. The Blazers received trade overtures from several teams, including the Pelicans, Charania states. However, he didn’t specify if New Orleans was willing to include Zion Williamson or Brandon Ingram in its offer.

Lillard stated after the end of the regular season that he wasn’t interested in playing another year with a young, rebuilding franchise. He hasn’t asked for a trade, but teams throughout the league are reportedly monitoring the situation and preparing offers in case he does ask to leave.

There’s more on Lillard and the Blazers:

Lillard appears to be in control of his future in Portland, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who said on the network’s draft coverage that the Blazers will only consider moving Lillard if he asks for a trade (hat tip to Real GM). “Damian Lillard has a decision to make,” Wojnarowski said. “… If he decides he wants a trade, I think the organization will accommodate him. But they don’t want to trade him.” Woj adds that the Blazers front office believes Henderson is more valuable than any return they could have gotten through a trade.
General manager Joe Cronin said he had a “long talk” with Lillard on Tuesday about ways to improve the team, tweets Sean Highkin of Rose Garden Report. Cronin said Henderson “has a chance to be a transcendent player” and stated that he doesn’t believe Lillard is closer to leaving because of the team’s draft decisions. “He’s probably being more vocal than ever, but I don’t look at that as a negative,” Cronin said (Twitter link).
Sources tell Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report that Lillard hasn’t been in touch with Blazers officials recently regarding the draft, free agency or his future with the team (Twitter link).

Nuggets, Thunder, Pacers, Lakers Fold Draft-Pick Deals Into Four-Team Trade

June 23rd, 2023 at 1:59am CST by Luke Adams

Three separate draft-pick trades have been officially completed and have been turned into a single four-team deal, according to press releases from the Nuggets, Thunder, and Lakers. The reported terms are as follows:

Nuggets acquire the draft rights to Julian Strawther (No. 29 pick; from Pacers), the draft rights to Jalen Pickett (No. 32 pick; from Pacers), the draft rights to Hunter Tyson (No. 37 pick; from Thunder), and the least favorable of the Timberwolves’ and Hornets’ 2024 second-round picks (from Thunder).
Thunder acquire the Nuggets’ 2029 first-round pick (protected; from Nuggets).
Pacers acquire the least favorable of the Thunder’s, Clippers’, Rockets’ (top-four protected), and Jazz’s (top-10 protected) 2024 first-round picks (from Thunder); the draft rights to Mojave King (No. 47 pick; from Lakers); and cash (approximately $4.3MM; from Lakers).
Lakers acquire the draft rights to Maxwell Lewis (No. 40 pick; from Nuggets).

The Nuggets and Thunder reached the first of these trade agreements two weeks ago, followed by the Nuggets and Pacers agreeing to a deal on Wednesday that included one of the picks Denver had received from Oklahoma City. Indiana subsequently flipped one of the picks it got from the Nuggets to the Lakers in a third agreement on Thursday.

Each team involved in this four-way swap is “touching” at least two other clubs in the deal, so no additional pieces needed to be added to make it legal.

Jaylen Martin Signs Two-Way Deal With Knicks

June 23rd, 2023 at 1:30am CST by Alex Kirschenbaum

JULY 3: Martin’s two-way contract with the Knicks is now official, per NBA.com’s transaction log.

JUNE 23: Undrafted former Overtime Elite guard Jaylen Martin has agreed to a two-way contact with the Knicks, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).

The 19-year-old averaged 14 points, 5.9 dimes, 1.6 steals, 1.4 rebounds and 0.7 blocks a night across 23.3 minutes per during his lone season with the Atlanta-based developmental league, per Overtime Elite’s official website.

As a two-way signing, the 6’6″ prospect is expected to split his time between New York and the club’s NBAGL affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.

With New York having already agreed to sign former Kentucky forward Jacob Toppin, younger brother of Knicks power forward Obi Toppin, to a two-way contract earlier tonight, two of the team’s three available two-way slots are now accounted for.

It remains to be seen whether or not New York will decide to bring back either of last year’s two-way players, shooting guard Trevor Keels and combo guard Duane Washington, to occupy that third and final two-way contract.

Xavier Castaneda Agrees To Exhibit 10 Deal With Clippers

June 23rd, 2023 at 1:26am CST by Arthur Hill

The Clippers have agreed to sign Xavier Castaneda to an Exhibit 10 contract, tweets Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express.

Castaneda was an All-MAC selection this season at Akron, where he averaged 21.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game as a fifth-year senior. The 23-year-old played three seasons at South Florida before transferring to the Zips.

Exhibit 10 deals are non-guaranteed, but they can be converted into two-way contracts before the start of the season and they give players an opportunity to earn bonuses if they are waived and spend at least 60 days with their team’s G League affiliate. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, that bonus can be worth up to $75K rather than $50K.
