Walker Kessler, sources confirm, will be signed-and-traded from the Utah Jazz to the Los Angeles Lakers. Utah won't be getting any players back in the deal, I'm told.

Dean Wade ultimately decided to sign a four-year, $39M deal with the 76ers after fielding offers from over six different teams, sources told ClutchPoints.

The two finalists were the Sixers and Pistons, sources said.

Source – Sam Amick, The Athletic:

>The 33-year-old unrestricted free agent was the Pistons’ second-most productive player in the playoffs (behind Cade Cunningham), averaging 18.1 points and 7.2 rebounds. Yet Harris will be visiting with five teams at the start of free agency, according to a league source who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing negotiations. (It’s not clear whether the meetings are virtual, phone or in person, or which teams are in play). At minimum, that means the prospect of Detroit losing Harris is somewhat real.

(Also, in other news regarding Jalen Duren)

>Duren, as The Athletic has reported, is a restricted free agent who is taking meetings with the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings Tuesday with the hopes of finding a sign-and-trade pathway out of town. The gap in negotiations between Duren and the Pistons sparked this strategy, but it remains possible the two sides eventually strike a deal — especially considering the signals sent by the Pistons.

>Detroit does not have interest in the Kings’ scenario, which would send three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis their way as a replacement for Duren, according to league sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing deliberations.

The Chicago Bulls plan to waive Kam Jones, league sources told HoopsHype. Jones had a deadline today that would’ve fully guaranteed his salary at $2.15 million. He was the 38th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers and was traded to Chicago on draft night.

Source – Anthony Chiang, The Miami Herald:

The relationship between the Heat and James initially was frosty after their breakup, but is now strong. The Heat would welcome a return by James, a source has said.

James and Heat president Pat Riley have embraced when they have seen each other in recent years. And James’ agent, Rich Paul, has spoken in glowing terms about the Heat.

Source – Dan Woike, Senior Lakers Writer (The Athletic):

>There might be an instinct here to think that Luka Dončić helped push LeBron James out the door [in Los Angeles], but league sources who know both, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation, insist the two players had no personal issues with one another.

>James, after all, went to the Lakers, and said Dončić should have his name introduced last in the starting lineups. And this summer, LeBron and Luka shared text messages about golf, a hobby they've both picked up in the past year.

>There are other forces at play here — mostly ones that were unavoidable. Could the Lakers ever truly be Dončić's team if a player of James' stature and accomplishments was still there? Could James ever really feel valued by the Lakers when they made a trade for a player to be the new franchise face without consulting him (sending out his best friend on the team in the process). For a year and a half, the sides made it work as best as they could.

>And now it's over, with both parties looking to make the most of what's next.

Los Angeles Lakers:

>Thank you, LeBron. 💜💛

Jeanie Buss:

>"LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes in history. We will always be thankful for his eight years with the Lakers - including the title he led us to in 2020 under the toughest imaginable circumstances and the countless records he broke in purple and gold. We wish him all the best in the future, both on the court and off. He will always be a cherished part of the Lakers family."

[Charania] The Lakers expressed to LeBron James that they wanted him back, but the NBA's all-time leading scorer decides to move on elsewhere.
