BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Just in: Free agent forward Tobias Harris has agreed to a two-year, $31 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Harris exits the Pistons after helping lead a franchise turnaround and now joins a young contending team in the Western Conference.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030, sources tell ESPN. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers.
Per source, last two years of John Collins' contract are non-guaranteed. Don't have the exact figures yet, but only first year is fully-guaranteed. Similar structure as Duncan Robinson's deal last season.
Collins is a better shooter than Tobias, but both were <4 attempts from deep per game
Need Collins to reach 5+ attempts in Detroit given his 40% clip
Free agent John Collins has agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal to sign with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Frontcourt addition and a new lob threat for Cade Cunningham in Detroit.

Here is the real reason why the Lakers are still in on Duren. They only can offer walker kessler is 4 years & 186$ million starting at 41.2$m next season and an AAV of 46.5$m.
Duren is eligible for a 4 year 223$million offer sheet from the lakers starting at 49.5$m next season with an AAV of 56$m.
If you're going to call a bluff, you call the bluff of Detroit. You pay the full offer sheet with no draft capital. If detroit doesnt match, you got your center the half decade and picks. If detroit DOES match, you then still have your picks and then offer a deal to Plan B's. It's a gamble either way, but if you're going to go big, this is the move. Offer Duren the full max and back load it potentially and i think detroit moves on. we'll see....
After getting Isaiah Joe ($11m) and signing Kevin Huerter ($9m), I feel like the salaries of Duncan Robinson ($15m) and Caris LeVert ($15m) can be moved in a deal to get a legitimate forward now
Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges for gambling related to a sports betting scheme, such as point shaving and prop bets, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN. The government is coordinating a voluntary surrender of Beasley this week.
Would Denver entertain Cam Johnson for Caris LeVert from Detroit?
Helps Denver in their attempt to avoid the first apron and Detroit takes a chance on Cam staying healthy. Both deals expiring at the end of the season, too.
This offseason isn't slowing down any time soon.
I gave my thoughts on Jalen Duren seeking sign-and-trade opportunities along with a couple possible destinations. Give it a read on @detroitbadboys: https://t.co/Ybtx4DuRbT
