2026 NBA Free Agency and Trades

[Hoop Head]

Julius Randle traded to the Nets. I think that makes them easier to beat, with less of an inside presence.

Less of an inside presence but more of an outside with Lamelo Ball. Randle was their weak link on defense as well and now that will be Lamelo. They could be about the same, worse, or better next season and none will be all that surprising. Weird team to gauge. They were a legit contender 2 years ago when they beat us and now they're a tier below that.

On paper the Wolves need more size.

However, Joan Beringer, their second year F/C Summer League stats stats were wild: 27.8 PPG, 19.1 RPG.

He is quite athletic.

Thybulle, a two-time All-Defense team member, spoke with JJ Redick and Luka Doncic about the Lakers desire to sign him and his role during free agency and chose the opportunity on Monday. Thybulle shot 41.8% from 3 over the last two years across 45 games -- and led the NBA in steals and deflections per 36 minutes last season among players to play at least 20 contests, per ESPN Research.

The Heat, Knicks and Lakers are among the teams to show free agent interest in Nick Richards.

One of the best remaining centers on the open market, Richards would sign to a contender for the veteran’s minimum.

He potentially could be the next Giannis/Jokic late draft find that everyone else overlooked. That could REALLY sting for the Suns if Maluach ends up disappointing.

I like what I have seen of him too. Maluach appears much improved per his showing in summer league. This is encouraging.
