  • LAL Center #24

    The unprotected picks the Jazz will receive are in 2031 and 2033 and the pick swaps are in 2028 and 2030. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million extension with the Lakers. Los Angeles had been talking with Pistons center Jalen Duren about acquiring him in a sign-and-trade, but the Lakers took action here in completing the deal for Kessler. The 24-year-old center spent the first four years of his career with the Jazz, averaging 9.5 points and 9.3 rebounds. He’s the big winner from this trade from a fantasy perspective if he can stay healthy. The Lakers are now hard capped to the first apron and have no first-round picks to trade.
  • BOS Center-Forward #23
    Robinson’s deal includes a player option in the third season. The 28-year-old center is coming off winning a championship with the Knicks as the organization’s longest-tenured player. Now Robinson will call Boston home for at least the next two season. The Celtics desperately needed help in the frontcourt and the addition of Robinson helps address that need. It’s no surprise the Knicks didn’t elect to sign Robinson given the team’s cap situation the organization’s desire to avoid the second apron. Robinson will go into the Celtic’s mid-level exception and Boston will be hard capped to the first apron.
  • BKN Forward-Center #21
    Wagner has been in the NBA for eight years and only played at least 50 games in a season three times. His production fell off last season with the Magic as he averaged just 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds, which were both career-lows. Orlando seemed prepared to lose Wagner in free agency, making Goga Bitadze off-limits in trades and adding Nikola Vucevic as a free agent. Wagner joins a Nets squad that went 20-62 last year. He’ll come off the bench behind Julius Randle in Brooklyn.
  • BOS Guard-Forward #7
    Appearing on ESPN’s First Take Wednesday morning, Charania said the Celtics are strongly shopping Brown and have discussed offers with 8-10 teams in the last several days. This comes on the heels of the Athletic’s Sam Amick reporting earlier this week that Boston will have to lower its asking price to move Brown. Maybe the Celtics are heading in that direction after making players like Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman untouchable in trade talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Charania reiterated that Brown hasn’t requested trade, though it would be surprising if he’s not traded this offseason.
  • BOS Guard #10
    Conley’s contract will pay him the veteran minimum. His arrival in Boston puts an end to a four-year tenure in Minnesota during which he averaged 9.0 points, 4.6 assists and shot 41 percent from behind the three-point line. Conley will serve as guard depth with the Celtics behind Derrick White and Payton Pritchard.
  • Vučević previously spent nine seasons with the Magic earlier in his career. More recently, the 35-year-old center saw his production fall off drastically after a midseason trade to the Celtics last season. Vučević’s playoff production was limited to the point where the Celtics benched him for Game 7 as they lost a series against the 76ers. Vooch was a top-50 player and a bonafide starter as recently as two years ago with the Bulls. With the Magic only paying him $3.9 million at this stage of his career, he could be ticketed for a lesser role in Orlando.
  • PHI Center #55
    Hukporti has provided depth at backup center for the Knicks for the last two years. The 24-year-old appeared in 54 regular season games and even had a couple blocks in the NBA Finals as New York ended its 53-year championship drought. Hukporti will now be depth behind 76ers big man Joel Embiid, so he could find his way into the occasional start when Embiid is forced to miss time.
  • CHI Guard #24
    Powell made the All-Star team last year in his first and only season with the Heat. The writing was on the wall after Miami completed the trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, sending Powell to free agency. The 33-year-old shooting guard has averaged at least 21 points in each of the last two seasons and finished in the top five of Sixth Man of the Year voting in the two years before that. He should be counted on for his scoring once again with the Bulls. Powell certainly adds some legitimacy to Chicago’s young and developing roster.
  • DET Forward-Center #20
    After missing out on some of the big names to begin the offseason, the Pistons have finally made a significant move. Collins is set to turn 29 in September. He’s a nine-year NBA veteran and was a first-round pick by the Hawks in the 2017 NBA Draft. Collins has averaged 15.7 points and 7.7 rebounds in his career. Two years ago with the Jazz, he averaged 19.0 points and 8.2 assists. Collins figures to be the Pistons’ new starting power forward with Tobias Harris not expected to return and should benefit as a lob threat playing alongside Cade Cunningham.
  • LAL Guard #36
    Still only 32, Smart is a 12-year NBA veteran best known for his nine-year tenure with the Celtics. He won the Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2021-22 season. Smart was still a significant piece for the Lakers last year as he averaged 9.3 points and 3.0 assists in 28.5 minutes per game. He opted out of his contract with the Lakers and was rewarded by the Rockets with a slight pay bump. NBA Insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer previously reported the Rockets were a potential landing spot for Smart.
