Davis (groin) out for precautionary reasons

Coach Monty Williams confirmed that Anthony Davis' absence due to a groin injury was precautionary prior to Friday's game.

"He responded to treatment, but (head trainer) Jon Ishop didn't like the way he looked before the game," said Williams. "We're just going to make sure he's right. We have a lot of days before our next game, so we don't want to chance him hurting himself." Injuries have not been a strong suit of the Hornets organization, as Williams regularly did not know his players' injury status last year, but we're not going to sound the alarm until we see much more proof that it's necessary.

Nikola Mirotic agrees to two-year deal w/ CHI

Nikola Mirotic has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $27 million deal to return to Chicago.

Mirotic's new deal with the Bulls reportedly includes a team option on Year-2, and will give him veto power on any potential trade this season. At the very least, Mirotic should be able to match last year's numbers of 10.6 points, 5.5 boards and 1.8 triples per contest, which was good enough for 10th round value. His inconsistency can be annoying, and he'll constantly have Bobby Portis and Lauri Markkanen nipping at his heels for minutes, so Mirotic's upside isn't quite what it used to be.

Alex Len signs $4.2M qualifying offer

Alex Len signed his $4.2 million qualifying offer with the Suns on Sunday.

The two sides were able to complete the deal right before training camp opens. The Suns wanted to see more from Len before committing to him for the long term, so this is his chance to prove himself before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2018. With Alan Williams on the shelf with a knee injury, Len could open the season in a timeshare with Tyson Chandler and will have some low-end value.

Tim Hardaway Jr. could play some PG?

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said there might be some situations late in the game that Tim Hardaway Jr. plays some point guard.

"That would probably rarely happen, but he’s a guy that we’re counting on to do the things we want to do in this offense and get the speed, and he’s a young guy with a lot of motor," he said. Hornacek added that he's going to challenge THJ to keep improving on the defensive end. The Knicks clearly have high hopes for the $71 million man and he looks like the No. 2 option on offense behind Kristaps Porzingis with Carmelo Anthony now in OKC. He's a bargain at his current ADP in the late rounds.

Knicks trade Carmelo Anthony to OKC

The Knicks have agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony to Oklahoma City in exchange for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a draft pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The pick headed to New York is the Bulls 2018 second-rounder. The Knicks are obviously giving up the best player in the deal without getting back anything close to equal value, but their leverage was limited by the fact that Melo had a no-trade clause. It will be fascinating to see how Anthony fits in alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George in OKC. All three players finished within the top-20 overall in Usage Rate last season and will now be forced to make sacrifices on the offensive end. Melo won't be able to match the numbers he posted as the focal point in New York.

Report: Knicks hope to trade Melo by Monday

The Knicks hope to complete a trade sending Carmelo Anthony to either OKC or Cleveland by Monday, according to NBA reporter David Aldridge.

A deal with OKC would almost certainly include Enes Kanter to make the salaries match. Regarding a possible trade with the Cavs, the Knicks reportedly want Tristan Thompson but Cleveland has not been willing to include him in the deal. Aldridge also notes that Portland has tried to engage in trade talks, but "the Knicks have not been interested in the Blazers’ offers, which have included young vets like Maurice Harkless and Evan Turner." Stay tuned, as we may finally have a resolution to the melodrama this weekend.

ESPN: OKC on Melo's list for possible trade

The Knicks have been informed that Oklahoma City is one of the other teams Carmelo Anthony has included on his list for a possible trade, according to Ian Begley of ESPN.com.

For now, it sounds like we have OKC, the Cavs and the Rockets as possible trade partners. The Blazers are reportedly not on the list, but those two teams make a lot of sense as trade partners -- it's up to Melo, of course. With media day coming up on Monday, we could see an Anthony trade this weekend. Of course, we've been expecting a Melo deal since July, so it could still be a while.

Grizzlies trade Troy Daniels to the Suns

The Suns acquired Troy Daniels and a 2018 second-round pick from Memphis for a top-55 protected in pick 2018.

The Grizzlies have some decent depth at guard with Wayne Selden playing well and Tyreke Evans in the mix. Daniels was one of coach David Fizdale's guys and his quote saying he had a "money green" light to shoot was a cool story last year. Daniels likely won't be in the rotation to start the season.

Gerald Green agrees to deal with the Bucks

Gerald Green has agreed on a deal to sign with the Bucks.

It's a non-guaranteed deal for camp, but Green could compete for a roster spot. It's possible Green or Brandon Rush will be the choice as the last veteran wing on the 15-man roster. Green made a noteworthy impact in the postseason with coach Brad Stevens mixing it up, but he likely wouldn't be in the rotation to start the season.

Markieff Morris (hernia) to miss 6-8 weeks

Markieff Morris had sports hernia surgery on Friday and is expected to be out 6-8 weeks.

That means he will miss the start of the season and he could miss up to 15 games. Morris had himself a strong 2016-17 season and logged more minutes at center than he had in his previous time with the Wizards. With him out, Jason Smith, Kelly Oubre and Marcin Gortat should pick up some extra minutes. Fantasy owners may not want to draft Morris unless stashing won't hurt.

Kris Humphries planning to sign with 76ers

Kris Humphries plans to sign a non-guaranteed deal with the 76ers, according to Shams Charania of The Vertical.

He worked out with the 76ers on Monday and Tuesday, so he is fully expected to be with the team for the start of camp. Humphries is going to be buried on the depth chart, but he could make the roster as emergency depth. The 32-year-old played 56 games with the Hawks last season and doesn't have fantasy value.

Lillard would like to see Swanigan win ROY

Damian Lillard said he would like to see Caleb Swanigan win Rookie of the Year.

We're reading between the lines on this tweet, but the timing is interesting. Dame saying Swanigan over lottery pick Zach Collins could suggest that Swanigan may be the man to help fill the void left by Noah Vonleh (shoulder). Swanigan is one of the best rebounding prospects to come out this year, which could help after Portland's subpar rebounding recently. The Purdue product lit it up in Las Vegas and he's now on the radar in deep leagues.
