September 2025

Indiana have signed veteran guard Monte Morris on a one-year Exhibit 9 contract, providing depth behind Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. The 30-year-old averaged 5.2 points in Phoenix last season and brings steadiness as the Pacers adjust without Tyrese Haliburton. The deal protects Indiana financially if Morris is waived while offering him a shot to prove his value. With Haliburton sidelined, Morris adds experience to a backcourt rotation already featuring Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard as Indiana push to stay competitive in the East.

Warriors Roster Stalled by Kuminga Contract Saga

Golden State Warriors
September 2025

Golden State have only nine players signed with camp looming, and Jonathan Kuminga’s unresolved contract is delaying moves for Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II. Kuminga averaged 15.3 points last season but remains stuck between a $72.5m deal and a one-year qualifying offer. The team’s offer includes a three-year, $72.5m package with a team option, but his agent concedes signing may make a trade before February inevitable. Kuminga risks surrendering $40m guaranteed if he chooses the qualifying deal, leaving Golden State’s depth in limbo.

Knicks May Trade Young Guard Amid Roster Decisions

New York Knicks
September 2025

The Knicks are considering trading 20-year-old guard Pacome Dadiet to keep veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet on guaranteed deals. With roster spots tight, the franchise continues to reshape its depth around Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges. Drafted 25th overall in 2024, Dadiet played sparingly last season, averaging 1.7 points. The Knicks signed Brogdon, Shamet, and Garrison Mathews to training camp deals but can only retain one without a trade, making Dadiet a likely candidate to be moved.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga remains locked in contract negotiations, with rival teams like Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings offering attractive sign-and-trade packages, while Golden State resists including player options in their offers. Sacramento proposed Malik Monk and picks, Phoenix offered $80m+ deals, but Kuminga seeks a player option for flexibility. Golden State countered with a three-year, $72.5m team-option contract. His future hinges on whether the Warriors bend or Kuminga accepts a qualifying offer.

Knicks star Jalen Brunson cautioned his team against complacency as they prepare for the 2025-26 season, highlighting the wide-open Eastern Conference landscape after injuries to Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum weakened key rivals. He insists New York must stay sharp. Despite reaching the East Finals last season, Brunson emphasized that success cannot be assumed. With Cleveland still strong and New York bolstering depth with veterans like Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele, Brunson believes discipline and consistency will dictate whether the Knicks can truly contend for the Finals.
