Sacramento will receive a second round pick and cash considerations for allowing Perry to leave.

The Knicks and the Kings have reached a deal to send Sacramento vice president Scott Perry to New York, where he will become the team’s new general manager, according to USA Today’s Sam Amick. The deal was first reported on Thursday by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

He added that it’d only happen when “there’s a team forming,” suggesting he’d need at least another max player as a teammate.

For the last few months, we’ve been operating under the assumption that Paul George to the Lakers next season is close to a done deal. But according to George himself, that isn’t so.

Rumors of the deal have stretched out most of the summer, but it appears to be off for now.

The New York Knicks are stopping trade talks for Carmelo Anthony with the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers for now, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne. Instead, the Knicks may be interested in bringing Anthony back next season despite trade rumors circulating all summer.

Carmelo Anthony is finally willing to move on from the Knicks after seven seasons

After sticking it out for years in New York, it seems Carmelo Anthony is finally open to making his home elsewhere. Anthony is prepared to waive his no-trade clause if it means playing with Chris Paul and James Harden in Houston, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley.

Lonzo Ball fans should be excited after he stuffed the stat sheet against the 76ers.

Lonzo Ball had himself a game Wednesday against the 76ers. He stuffed the stat sheet with 36 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, five steals, and two blocks, becoming the first player in Summer League history to put up at least 30 points and 10 assists.

Manny Pacquiao hasn’t spoken to his trainer Freddie Roach since his defeat to Jeff Horn over a week ago. Roach doesn’t know what’s going on with the former 8 division world champion Pacquiao. He’s not sure of the 38-year-old Pacquiao is angry at him for some reason or what.

Golden State, of course, said no.

The Indiana Pacers, while scouring the market this summer for Paul George trade suitors, offered Paul George to the Golden State Warriors for Klay Thompson, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski told his guest George on his latest podcast. The Warriors had no interest in the deal, but it’s sure fun to speculate about it.

The question we had before us this summer was how the league would react to the Golden State Warriors. Would teams simply pack it in and keep their proverbial powder dry for another day, or meet the challenge head on and deal with it on its own terms?
