NBA Free Agency: Highlights of Day 5
Serge Ibaka stays in Milwaukee
At 32 years of age, Serge Ibaka appears to be able to keep playing under the NBA boards. This Monday night, according to Shams Charania, the center reached a one-season deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
After arriving last season via trade from the Clippers, the Spanish-Congolese player earned the respect of the organization after averaging seven points and five rebounds in the 19 games he played during the regular season.
T.J. Warren gets a chance with the Nets
After playing just four games over the past two seasons due to two stress fractures in his left foot, T.J. Warren has reached a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets.
The organization seems confident that the shooting guard is recovered from his injury and if so, he will undoubtedly be a great help in the offense. After his first seven NBA seasons with the Suns and Pacers, Warren averaged 28.8 minutes per game, 15.5 points and a very good three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%.
Kennedy Chandler makes history with his signature
While Kennedy Chandler was drafted 38th overall in the draft by the San Antonio Spurs this season, the Memphis Grizzlies never let him out of their sight. After acquiring him by giving up a 2024 second-round pick, they have now signed him for a groundbreaking sum of money.
According to Shams Charania, the organization finalized a four-season, $7.1 million deal with the Tennessee alum. However, $4.94 million of the $7.1 million is fully guaranteed, making it the largest amount paid for any second-round pick ever.
