The Utah Jazz recently announced they have signed guard/wing Matthew Murrell to a contract. The details are undisclosed, but this deal is likely an Exhibit 10 contract – this means it will function primarily as a training camp contract, while providing Murrell a financial incentive to remain in Utah with the Jazz’s affiliate G-League team, […]

The Jonathan Kuminga free agency played out in a shocking way, with he and his agent leaving about $30M on the table from the LA Lakers (and apparently close to $30M a year from the Golden State Warriors in previous seasons). He settled with a $6.5 million annual salary from the Minnesota Timberwolves (over two years, with a player option after the coming season). The Atlanta Hawks had declined their $24 million option on Kuminga for this year at the end of last season. His agent, ...
