ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Jonas Valanciunas has agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Wizards.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Eric Gordon has agreed to a deal with the 76ers. Good move for the 76ers. He won't be the scorer he was with Houston but he can chip in as a 3 point weapon off the ball and give them a weapon when teams get lax defensively and try to double team.

I really thought Jonas V was going to land somewhere better and for more money than with the Wizards but I saw the bozos on Reddit suggest that it was probably because Washington was only team offering a three year contract.

Bulls sign Jalen Smith, so that means they don't have enough money to sign DeMar thankfully. I like the signing, but it could be my fondness for players wearing goggles. Now if we can only find someone to take Vucevic, so I don't have to watch him anymore.

James Wiseman signs a two year deal with Indiana.

Genuinely thought, he was going to the G League or overseas but Pacers are loaded and good enough with player development that hey, I guess why not take a flier on him as a third big

Haha when I have seen multiple comps to Avery Bradley before, and I think it’s funny that people think that would be his floor and not his ceiling…

DeMar DeRozen to the Kings.

Harrison Barnes to the Spurs plus a 2031 pick swap.

Chris Duarte and 2nds to the Bulls.

@909 (and the Lakers front office) would probably do backflips if Bronny had a career as good as Avery Bradley!

NBA social media discourse is filled with morons.

Game-winning buzzer beaters:

Carmelo: 2
AI: 1
Giannis: 1
Kawhi: 1
Steph : 1
Jokic: 1

Moochie Norris: 3

Thanks Alf, I look forward to watching this some night in the next few weeks when I can’t sleep! And somehow get irrationally angry when the Jazz lose in some random game in 2008!

I just want to say that DeMar was fucking awesome, and always brought it night in and night out. Those back to back buzzer beaters on New Years Eve/Day is one of the best Bulls moments post Jordan. He's also one of the most genuinely good humans I've seen play for the Bulls. The guy just seems nice and is a total pro. But, it was time to move on and he deserves to be on a better team.

Duarte is trash, but I like the 2nds. Bulls need assets and picks badly. They didn't have a second rounder until 2028 before this trade. Bulls are gonna be so bad next year, but please give us a top five pick.

It’s a bummer DeMar keeps being passed around to mid teams. He seems like an awesome dude and it’d be nice if he got to play in some crucial playoff games before he hung up his jersey.

That being said, SacKings aren’t that much further away from being contenders than the Lakers, if at all.

I think he's honestly been look for big paydays though versus playing for real contenders (and in fairness to him, I think he'll have made 165 million between the Bulls and Kings).

Fact I just saw on Reddit: DeRozan only has 86 less career points than Steph Curry.

DeRozan may be the most fascinating search I have when I am on BBRef. I think there is a real chance he ends up as a Top 15 points scorer of all-time when he retires!

DeRozan is one of those guys that doesn’t seem like a HOFer but he probably will? Mitch Richmond opened the door for really good (but not great) players that played for crappy teams to make it to Springfield.
