There was a lot of buzz around the NBA Tuesday; however, the biggest sports news came from the NFL, as Deshaun Watson could face indefinite suspension.

The Detroit Pistons traded two future second-round picks and cash incentives to the New York Knicks for center Nerlens Noel, guard Alec Burks, a 2023 second-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick, and six million dollars. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons plan to use Noel and Burks, while the Knicks freed up cap space to sign Jalen Brunson.

Detroit is eager to utilize center Nerlens Noel and guards Alec Burks next season. GM Troy Weaver had Noel on his team in Oklahoma City, and Burks is an ideal veteran to mentor the Pistons talented young group of guards.

As the Dallas Mavericks are prepared to lose Jalen Brunson in free agency to the New York Knicks, they have an interest in Gary Payton II. Warriors reporter Anthony Slater states that the Mavs are “considered among the most serious suitors” for Golden State Warriors guard Payton II. He would not replace Brunson offensively; however, his defensive prowess could be a boost for Mavs star Luka Doncic.

Following the signing of John Wall, the Clippers signed center Ivica Zubac to a three-year, $33 million extension. The Clippers will need to remain healthy next season to have a chance in the playoffs, and Ivica Zubac will be an essential part of that playoff run. Last season, Zubac averaged 10.3 points on 62.6 percent shooting, 8.5 rebounds, and one block per game.

The New York Knicks are expected to offer free-agent guard Jalen Brunson a four-year, $110 million deal once free agency begins June 30th. This has been widely expected, as the Knicks have been searching for a starting point guard. Brunson wants to dictate the offense more often, and with Luka Doncic running the show in Dallas, Brunson’s game was limited.

The Knicks have cleared $30M in salary cap space to offer Dallas’ Jalen Brunson in the neighborhood of a max contract. The unloading of assets and contracts clearly shows the Knicks’ confidence that they can secure Brunson once free agency opens on Thursday.

NFL Roundup:

According to Adam Schefter, the Washington Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin agreed to a three-year, $71 million deal. Last season, for the first time, McLaurin did not miss a game. In 17 games last season, he totaled 77 receptions on 130 targets for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns. McLaurin signed the extension as he looks to build up chemistry with quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz will be the most talented quarterback that McLaurin has had.
