Demar Derozan has filed a grievance with the NBA, claiming the new Collective Bargaining Agreement has made it hard to earn a living and get paid fair market value, per league sources.
Source: Demar Derozan has a few minimum contract offers, but has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of interest in him as one of the best free agents available in this class.

The source continued: "Zion Williamson has contract stipulations based on his weight, Kyler Murray has contract stipulations based on studying his playbook, but how dare we ask someone to make more than half their free throws. Comical!"
Sources: The Brooklyn Nets soured on Claxton during negotiations, as he became disgruntled with an incentive based on him shooting above 60% from the free throw line. A source close the situation told me: "I guess expecting someone to work on their free throws is insulting."

Bol Bol and the Suns had mutual interest in Bol coming back to Phoenix for another year, but Bol says the organization ghosted him after initially offering him a contract, sources say.

Daniel Theis got offers from several contenders, but is choosing the Knicks due to their lack of big men on their current roster and a chance to potentially play a key role right away, per ESPN sources.
Sources: Cam Reddish is heading back to Atlanta, as the Los Angeles Lakers are trading him alongside Jaxson Hayes to the Hawks for Jalen Pickett. Salary saving move for the Lakers.
After a return to Denver seemed bleak just a few days ago, Kentavious Caldwell Pope has re-signed with the Denver Nuggets on a huge 4-year deal worth $85 million, sources say.
Sourced: After trading Mitchell Robinson and unexpectantly losing Isaiah Hartenstein to the Orlando Magic, the Knicks find themselves in need of a starting quality center. McBride, Grant Williams, and picks are being dangled out there in hopes of landing a big man in return.
The Mason Plumlee sweepstakes is finally over. After a strong push by an Eastern Conference contender raised the price tag, the Clippers decided to up their offer and keep the backup big man, per ESPN sources.
Sources: Denver Nuggets general manager Jackson reached out to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and patched things up after a contentious start to the off season, but with another contender pursuing him, Denver traded for Marcus Smart, and it remains to be seen whether KCP will return.
The Phoenix Suns are in advanced discussions on a 3-team trade to acquire C Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz, sources say. Detroit would send G Jaden Ivey to Utah as part of the deal.
