The NBA trade rumors are heating up, but free agent signings are currently happening at a much faster pace.
Multiple players playing in China have been reported on team’s radars, while several teams have made new 10-day signings. Check out the latest buzz below.
10-Day Contracts
The San Antonio Spurs will not sign forward JaMychal Green to a second 10-day contract.
The 24-year-old played four games with the Spurs.
Yahoo reported that Memphis Grizzlies, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers have shown interest in Green, who could return to the D-League if another team doesn’t sign him by the weekend.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed forward Lorenzo Brown to a 10-day contract.
Brown made it to shootaround, and the T-Wolves should finalize the signing before Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.
Brown will help fill in for Mo Williams, who will miss the game for personal reasons. Without Williams and the injured Ricky Rubio, rookie Zach LaVine was the only healthy point guard left, noted the Pioneer Press.
Brown was the 52nd pick in the 2013 draft for the Wolves, but was cut in training camp. He played for the 76ers last season and has been playing for the D-League this season. He’s a 6'5” combo guard.
The Utah Jazz also signed a D-League player to a 10-day contract. Utah signed Chris Johnson, a 24-year-old, 6'6” swingman who has been averaging 20 points in the D-League.
Johnson started the season with Philly but was waived on November 15. The team announced the signing.
The Miami Heat have also called up guard Tyler Johnson from the D-League on a 10-day contract, reported RealGM. Johnson has averaged 18.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists there.
He played for the Heat earlier this month on a 10-day contract.
