Detroit’s All-NBA forward Jalen Duren was reportedly “underwhelmed” by the team’s initial offer in restricted free agency and is planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios, per @sam_amick.

The gap between the two sides is significant enough that Duren is considering ways to land with another team, with a sign-and-trade seen as the preferred route.

Stephon Castle’s camp reportedly sent signals to the Houston Rockets not to draft him because he didn’t want to play behind Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green, per @sam_amick

“Per league sources, Rockets coach and former Spurs assistant Ime Udoka was a huge fan of Castle’s (which Castle said he was well aware of). But with veteran Fred VanVleet manning the point guard position and young Jalen Green at the two-guard spot, Castle and his camp sent the kinds of signals Houston’s way that eventually led to him landing in San Antonio. Just as he’d hoped.”

6 years after Brandon Ingram was first named an All-Star, he's back 🙌

With Steph Curry's injury, Ingram was named as his replacement in the All-Star Game.

The 6-year gap in between Ingram's All-Star appearances are tied for 3rd-most all time.

Take a look:

⭐️ Jrue Holiday - 10 years (2013, 2023)
⭐️ Frank Selvy - 7 (1955, 1962)
⭐️ Brandon Ingram - 6 (2020, 2026)
⭐️ Bernard King - 6 (1985, 1991)
⭐️ Johnny Green - 6 (1965, 1971)
⭐️ Manu Ginobili - 6 (2005, 2011)
⭐️ Rick Barry - 6 (1967, 1973)

This year, Ingram is putting up strong numbers:

🔥 22.0 PPG
🔥 5.8 RPG
🔥 3.7 APG

He has 33 games of 20+ points this season, and has been the Raptors' leading scorer.

Now, he's being rewarded with his second All-Star nod.

You don't see gaps this big too often.

And 6 years after his first All-Star appearance, Brandon Ingram is back.

The Pacers and Bulls have discussed an Ayo Dosunmu-for-Bennedict Mathurin swap, per @JakeLFischer

“League sources say that there has been some tangible discussion this week between Chicago and Indiana on a possible Dosunmu-for-Bennedict Mathurin swap. Yet it's unclear what affect the Bulls' Tuesday business might have on those talks.”

The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels and multiple first-round picks from the Timberwolves in a potential Giannis trade, per @SIChrisMannix

“Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.”
