The Bucks traded Antetokounmpo (knee) and Bobby Portis (wrist) to the Heat on Monday in exchange for Tyler Herro (foot), Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks, one pick swap and one second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After 13 seasons, 10 All-Star nods, two MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year award, a championship and a Finals MVP, Antetokounmpo will take his talents to South Beach. The superstar forward appeared in just 36 regular-season games in 2025-26 due to several injuries, averaging 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.9 minutes per showing. He'll now form a formidable pairing with Bam Adebayo (back) in the Miami frontcourt while the Bucks navigate life without their franchise cornerstone.

Dosunmu agreed to a five-year, $112 million contract with the Timberwolves on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After being traded from Chicago to Minnesota ahead of last season's deadline, Dosunmu averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest across 24 regular-season outings with the Timberwolves. During that span, he shot 52.1 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from three. The 26-year-old guard stepped up for the team in the postseason and should command a sizable role next season, as Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) could miss the entire 2026-27 campaign. Dosunmu's new deal includes a player option for the final year.

The Bulls traded Gueye to the Timberwolves on Monday as part of a three-team deal with the Nets, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports. However, Gueye will be waived, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'.

The Timberwolves acquired Gueye and the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, sending Julius Randle and the 28th pick in this year's draft to Brooklyn. For their part in the deal, the Bulls received Nic Claxton (finger). Gueye appeared in Chicago's final two regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks across 22.5 minutes per contest in those appearances.

The Timberwolves traded Randle and the No. 28 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to the Nets on Monday as part of a three-team deal with the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Chicago received Nic Claxton (finger), while Minnesota acquired the 33rd overall pick in this year's draft.

Randle is heading to Brooklyn after spending the last two seasons in Minnesota. The 31-year-old appeared in 79 regular-season contests for the Timberwolves in 2025-26, averaging 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks. Although Randle's days of averaging a double-double may be behind him, it's reasonable to expect he could be more productive offensively on a roster that is currently lacking consistent scoring options. He's under contract for 2026-27 and holds a player option for 2027-28.

The Nets traded Claxton (finger) and the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to the Bulls and Timberwolves, respectively, in exchange for Julius Randle and the No. 28 overall pick in this year's draft, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Monday.

Claxton will head to Chicago after spending the first seven years of his career with the Nets. The big man appeared in 69 regular-season games (68 starts) in 2025-26, averaging 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.8 minutes per contest. He missed the team's final five games with a sprained finger, though he's expected to be ready for training camp. Claxton is under contract through the 2027-28 campaign.

Diawara agreed to a multi-year contract with the Knicks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Charania reports that the deal is expected to be worth at least $10 million, though the contract details have not yet been disclosed. Diawara saw an inconsistent role during his rookie campaign, stepping up when injuries arose. Across 69 regular-season games (seven starts), the 21-year-old forward averaged 3.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per tilt.

Young (quadriceps) plans to sign a four-year, $212 million deal with the Wizards, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Young declined his $49 million player option and was initially going to test the waters in free agency. The Wizards were always viewed as the favorites to sign him, however, and it's clear that they value him extremely highly based on this offer. Young was limited to 15 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season due to injuries, posting averages of 17.9 points and 8.0 assists on 45.8 percent shooting from the field.

The Hawks acquired Wiggins from the Thunder on Sunday in exchange for 2030 and 2032 second-round draft picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The No. 55 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Wiggins has spent the first five seasons of his career in Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old showed signs of promise during his tenure in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder's bevy of talent often resulted in him seeing inconsistent playing time. During the 2025-26 campaign, Wiggins posted averages of 9.4 points, 3.1 assists, 1.7 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 21.8 minutes per contest over 65 regular-season appearances. Wiggins should have a chance at capturing a more sizable role in Atlanta, especially if the Hawks choose not to exercise Jonathan Kuminga's $24.3 million team option for the upcoming season.

McCollum agreed to a one-year, $21 million contract extension with the Hawks on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

McCollum will avoid free agency and remain with Atlanta after being acquired from the Wizards in January. Over 41 regular-season appearances (25 starts) with the Hawks last season, the veteran guard averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 45.6 percent from the floor in 28.8 minutes per showing.

Goodwin (calf) agreed to a three-year, $19 million deal with the Suns on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Goodwin was claimed off waivers by Phoenix last July and made the regular-season roster before delivering a career-best year. Across 70 regular-season appearances (10 starts), the 27-year-old guard averaged 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 37.0 percent from deep in 22.5 minutes per game. Goodwin missed the team's final three postseason games against Oklahoma City due to a left calf strain, though he'll likely be good to go by the time training camp rolls around. He receives added security with this new contract, which includes a player option for the third year.
