Welcome to the 2017 edition of NBA Free Agency. While players cannot technically sign contracts, many major free agents have already agreed to terms with teams. However, the Portland Trail Blazers are not one of those teams. Armed with only the Taxpayer MLE to offer and a salary total that already enters Luxury Tax territory, they have not been involved in any free agency rumors.
In the meantime, here’s a list of rumors and trades to keep you occupied.
Hot Right Now!
Danilo Gallinari is headed to the Clippers in a three-team deal also involving the Nuggets and Hawks. Former Blazer Jamal Crawford will head to Atlanta as part of the deal.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed forward Patrick Patterson to a 3-year, $16.4 million deal with an option.
Otto Porter has agreed on a max offer sheet with the Brooklyn Nets.
Derrick Rose is set to meet with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Gordon Hayward free agent drama is over, as is his tenure in Utah. Shams Charania reports that Hayward will be heading to the Boston Celtics for a 4-year, $128 million deal that includes a player option.
Adding Hayward has cost Boston Kelly Olynyk who will command interest on the market.
