Restricted free agent guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is expected to sign an offer sheet with the Atlanta Hawks when free agency begins, a source tells Sportando.

The Serbian guard was expected to join the Bucks via sign-and-trade but the trade between Kings and Milwaukee fell apart.

If Bogdanovic signs the offer sheet, the Kings can match the proposal and retain him, which is unlikely.

The Charlotte Hornets reached an agreement with undrafted rookie Keandre Cook, according to Bryan Kalbrosky of HoopsHype. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but it’s expected to be an Exhibit 10 contract.

Cook is a guard who averaged 14.9 points on 42.3 percent from three in his senior year at Missouri State.

The Brooklyn Nets have reached an agreement on an Exhibit 10 deal with undrafted rookie Nate Sestina, as first reported by Jon Chepkevich.

Sestina played college basketball at Bucknell and Kentucky. He signed his first professional contract as an injury replacement with Russian club Nizhny Novgorod but the two sides parted ways in early November.

Dallas Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said the team agreed to terms with undrafted rookie Nate Hinton on a two-way deal.

Hinton played two seasons at Houston in the NCAA, averaging 10.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in his sophomore year.

The Portland Trail Blazers are bringing back Enes Kanter in a three-way deal with Boston and Memphis, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Grizzlies get Mario Hezonjia and rookie Desmond Bane, the 30th pick from Wednesday’s NBA Draft.

The Celtics get a future Memphis draft consideration.

The Houston Rockets have reached agreements with undrafted rookies Mason Jones and Brodric Thomas, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony and The Athletic’s Kelly Iko.

Jones, a former Arkansas guard, will sign a two-way contract with the Rockets.

Terms of the deal for Thomas haven’t been disclosed but it’s expected to be an Exhibit 10 deal. Thomas averaged over 21 points per game in the NCAA Division II last year.

The Golden State Warriors are waiving guard Ky Bowman, according to Shams Charania.

Bowman, who had a non-guaranteed contract for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, averaged 7.4 points in 45 games with the Warriors last year.

The Milwaukee Bucks are moving on from their pursuit of restricted free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic, according to Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic.

There was a sign-and-trade in place for Bogdanovic to move to Milwaukee, according to multiple reports, but ultimately the deal fell through because the Serbian guard wants to explore the market when free agency opens today at 6 PM EST (12 PM Central European Time).

Rookie wing Jay Scrubb is joining the LA Clippers on a two-way contract, according to Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times.

Scrubb was selected at No. 55 in Wednesday’s NBA Draft and was later acquired by the Clippers in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Philadelphia 76ers will sign free agent guard Dakota Mathias to a two-way contract, according to Derek Bodner of The Athletic.

Mathias played in the NBA G League with the Texas Legends last year, averaging 18.1 points and 3.1 assists while shooting 39.5% on 8.9 three-point attempts per game.

He played in the Spanish Liga ACB with Joventut Badalona in 2018-19.

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors are interested in Canadian big man Tristan Thompson, according to Sports Illustrated.

After Andre Drummond opting into the final year of his contract, Thompson’s time with the Cleveland Cavaliers could be over.

The Los Angeles Clippers have explored a deal for Hornets guard Terry Rozier, as reported by Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.

Rozier signed with Charlotte last offseason and has 2 years left on his contract, at approximately $17M per season.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic have discussed a trade featuring Russell Westbrook for a package centered around Aaron Gordon, but talks never progressed.

According to Michael Scotto of Hoopshype, the Minnesota Timberwolves have extended a qualifying offer to Spanish forward Juancho Hernangomez, making him a restricted free agent.

In 12 games played with Minnesota after a mid-season trade from Denver, Hernangomez averaged 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season.

According to the Miami Herald, the Miami Heat are expected to offer “rich” 1-year deals to free agents Goran Dragic and Jae Crowder. Both deals could include a second year, but most likely via a team option.

Both moves would signal the 2020 Finals runner-up to save salary cap flexibility for the 2021 offseason.

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant has been discussed as a possible trade chip for Rockets’ All Star Russell Westbrook, according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic.

Bryant is under contract with Washington until June 2022, at approximately $17M.

The New York Knicks have agreed to acquire Ed Davis and two 2023 2nd-round picks from the Utah Jazz, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst

Davis signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Jazz last offseason. This move helps the Jazz saving money as they attempt to re-sign Jordan Clarkson.

Serbian guard Bogdan Bogdanovic reportedly believes he can get a four-year offer for more than what the Milwaukee Bucks can do in a sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that Bogdanovic is aiming to a 4-year, $72 million deal in free agency.

Bogdanovic is a restricted free agent, and that gives Sacramento the opportunity to match any possible offer sheet via the market. The NBA, meanwhile, has opened an investigation into the Bucks’ previous sign-and-trade reported agreement with the Kings over Bogdanovic.

Golden State Warriors finalized a trade to acquire OKC forward Kelly Oubre Jr. for a 2021 protected first-round NBA draft pick.

The Warriors will convey that pick to the Thunder next season only should they finish 21st to 30th in the final regular-season standings. If the Warriors land in the top 20, they’ll send two second-round picks to Oklahoma City, sources said.
