Free-agent forward/center Precious Achiuwa agreed to a one-year, $6 million contract with the Knicks. New York was rumored to be searching for other options to fill the void underneath the basket. However, the team will instead bring back the 24-year-old, who averaged 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 18 starts last season. With Isaiah Hartenstein now in Oklahoma City, Achiuwa should hold a stable role in Tom Thibodeau's rotation. Mitchell Robinson has had issues staying healthy throughout his career, meaning Achiuwa could spend more time with the first five during the 2024-25 campaign.

Free-agent guard Devonte' Graham agreed to a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old was one of the league's most promising young players, averaging a career-high 18.2 points and 7.5 assists in his sophomore season. Unfortunately, his statistical contributions have declined over the years. He also appeared in only 23 games in San Antonio last season. With that said, Graham may get some chances in the starting lineup during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he likely won't see consistent minutes behind Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe, among others.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Dennis Schroder had a fantastic two-way performance for Germany against Brazil at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday, leading all scorers with 20 points and snagging four steals. Schroder and Orlando's Franz Wagner pushed the Germans to an 86-73 victory. The Brooklyn man did his damage offensively with 7-for-13 shooting, including a 4-for-9 effort from downtown. He completed his line with three rebounds and six assists. Schroder was named the MVP at last year's World Cup, and he's started another international tournament in good form, averaging 16.5 points and 9.0 assists.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner finished a horrible 0-for-6 with his triples against Brazil at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday but helped Germany to an 86-73 win with a good all-around performance. The 22-year-old had 17 points on 7-for-15 shooting with four rebounds, three assists, four steals, and one block. Wagner fully showed off his versatility, which earned him a five-year, $224 million extension this offseason. Orlando clearly sees him as one of the cornerstones of the team, and Wagner fills a hugely important role for Team Germany as well. He has posted 19.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals through the first couple of games at the Olympics.

The Atlanta Hawks have snapped up forward Dominick Barlow on a two-way contract. The 21-year-old links up with the Hawks after spending two seasons in San Antonio. He made 33 appearances last term, scoring 4.4 points and grabbing 3.4 rebounds in 12.7 minutes. During his time in Texas, Barlow also saw quite a bit of time in the G League, posting 16.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. Atlanta is going with a youth movement, but it's unlikely we will see much of Barlow in 2024-25.
