No breakthrough. James Nnaji’s desire was to make the jump to the NBA this summer, and Barça were counting on his departure, which would bring revenue to the club given his contract runs until 2027.
However, the back surgery he underwent a month and a half ago changed those plans. The Charlotte Hornets cannot yet integrate the player, whose salary makes a loan to other ACB teams difficult.
Thus, the Nigerian pivot will remain at the Palau next season.

The Chicago Bulls appear to be moving towards a rebuild this offseason. The team traded veteran guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey and completed a sign-and-trade that brought DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings.
However, no deals were found for Zach LaVine or Nikola Vucevic, thus hampering the progress of the rebuild. In fact, there appears to be no market available for either player.
Negotiations for LaVine have come to nothing, and the salary space to absorb his contract has mostly run out. The market for Vucevic never really developed, with teams reluctant to take on the veteran centre’s contract.

The 28-year-old forward was traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Raptors on June 28 during the second day of the NBA Draft, along with Davion Mitchell, the draft rights to Jamal Shead, and a 2025 second-round pick.

He played in 42 games in 2023-24 and could add some depth at forward to Toronto’s bench.
“We acquired a player in a trade and we feel we have communicated well,” added Ujiri. “We communicated well with the agent and the team before and so we’ll see how that goes.”

The New York Knicks have been working for some time to avoid some of the restrictions imposed by the new NBA trade rules that went into effect this year.
The team is adding Shake Milton (via Shams Charania, with a deal worth 9 million total over 3 years, only the first one guaranteed) and Mamadi Diakite (2.3 million, about half guaranteed) in the sign and trade with the Brooklyn Nets that will bring Mikal Bridges to Coach Thibodeau’s group. Also headed to the Knicks is Keita Bates-Diop.
This way, explains CBA expert Yossi Gozlan, the Knicks are 16.9 million away from the Second Apron ($188.9 million) with 11 players under contract.
That leaves enough flexibility for a new deal with Precious Achiuwa (or at any rate a center to replace Hartenstein) and also use the $5.2 million Taxpayer Mid-level Exception.
