According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Portland Trail Blazers have signed Damian Lillard to a three-year, $42 million contract, effectively putting a cap on the Milwaukee Bucks' trade from two years ago and rendering it a complete and utter disaster. The two years of Lillard in Milwaukee could not have gone much worse.

Tyler Shough agreed to a deal with the Saints, ensuring the second-round rookie QB won't miss any valuable reps in training camp.

Damian Lillard is sitting in free agency after the Bucks waived the superstar point guard following his torn Achilles. It's unlikely he'll play much or at all in 2025-26, but he'd be back down the road. SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell thinks the Lakers and Lillard are a match.

LeBron James became the only player in the NBA with a no-trade clause on Wednesday when the Phoenix Suns bought out Bradley Beal's contract.
