The Los Angeles Clippers rocked the NBA late Friday night with news they had come to terms with free agent Kawhi Leonard and agreed to trade for Paul George, and hours later, several teams responded with moves of their own, some filling out rosters and others looking to potentially move other players.
Biggest among the players the Lakers added Saturday is center DeMarcus Cousins, with whom the team agreed to a one-year, $2.3 million deal, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The other four players reportedly agreed to two-year deals: point guard Rajon Rondo, wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and center JaVale McGee — all of whom played with the Lakers last season — and free agent guard Quinn Cook, who spent the previous two seasons in Golden State.
Westbrook has four years and $170 million left on his contract, but with the team reportedly receiving five draft picks in exchange for George, the Thunder could be looking to reshape their roster. Wojnarowski reported the Spurs are close to trading forward Davis Bertans to the Washington Wizards, a move designed to allow the Spurs to complete the signing of free agent DeMarre Carroll. Bertans reportedly will be absorbed into an exception and the value of Carroll’s deal, agreed to earlier in the offseason, will go from two years and $13 million to three years and $21 million.
The Raptors also agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with free agent forward Stanley Johnson, Charania reported, with the second year a player option.
