Wizards Interested In Mitchell Robinson

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson looks set to suit up for a different team next season, and the Washington Wizards are reportedly one of the clubs interested in his services. According to NBA insider Ian Begley, Robinson has "come up" in trade talks between Washington and New York. Last season, Isaiah Hartenstein outplayed Robinson, who battled an ankle injury, leaving the big man from Florida with an uncertain future. However, a move away from New York would definitely boost his fantasy value if Hartenstein remains in the Big Apple. Robinson appears to be a good fit for the Wizards, whose lack of depth under the rim resulted in Kyle Kuzma logging center minutes over the final stretch of the season.

Scottie Barnes Intends To Sign Max Extension

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes just finished his third season in the NBA, which was his best one to date and resulted in his first All-Star game appearance. Now that he's going to enter his fourth season, he was up for a contract extension to follow his rookie deal. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Barnes intends to sign a maximum rookie extension that could be worth up to $270 million over five years. This would make the new cornerstone player the highest-paid Raptor of all time. Barnes averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game last year while posting shooting splits of .475/.341/.781. The team already made some moves this past season before the trade deadline, which made it clear they're building around Barnes moving forward.

Keita Bates-Diop Exercises Player Option

Brooklyn Nets forward Keita Bates-Diop will exercise his player option for the 2024-25 NBA season. His option is worth $2.65 million which was negotiated into his contract when he signed with the Phoenix Suns last offseason. Ahead of the last trade deadline, Bates-Diop was moved from Phoenix to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team deal which moved Royce O'Neale to the Suns. With Brooklyn, Bates-Diop only averaged 1.6 points and 0.6 rebounds across 4.9 minutes per game. The 28-year-old journeyman only appeared in 14 games for the Nets, but he may be utilized a bit more with the new coaching staff that has moved into town.

Suns A Possible Landing Spot For Kris Dunn

The Phoenix Suns are believed to be a landing spot for free-agent guard Kris Dunn. According to Evan Sidery of ESPN, the 30-year-old combo guard could head to Phoenix on the veteran minimum after spending two seasons in Utah, where he started in 35 of his 88 appearances. Dunn has bounced around to five different teams through eight seasons in the NBA and has experienced very mixed results at every stop. During his time in Utah, Dunn averaged 7.4 points, 4.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 49.7% from the floor and 39.5% from deep. His defense continues to be the No. 1 reason why teams are interested in his services, and that would be the perfect complement to the big three in Phoenix.

Jalen Johnson Not Included In Trade Talks

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson has not been included in trade talks so far this offseason. According to Evan Sidery, it seems that Johnson is the only untouchable player on the roster when it comes to making trade deals. That means both stars in the backcourt, Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, are being shopped around, but Johnson's growth and youth are being viewed as more valuable. The 22-year-old broke out in a big way this year as he averaged 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.3 threes per game while he started in 52 of his 56 appearances. He likely would have been a frontrunner for Most Improved Player of the Year if he played the minimum amount of games to qualify.
