NBA Transactions & Summer League Outlook

Jose Alvarado is set to return to the Knicks, declining his $4.5 million player option to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million contract. This deal comes as the city grapples with a viral incident involving stolen bins, a situation the sanitation department is addressing with identical replacements to the viral bin. In other team news, the Detroit Pistons are acquiring Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two second-round draft picks.

The NBA summer league schedule is featuring marquee matchups, including games involving the top four NBA draft picks. Chicago Bulls forward Caleb Wilson, selected fourth overall, has already declared his intention to win Rookie of the Year during his introductory press conference. The summer league will also pit the Miami Heat against the Milwaukee Bucks, a matchup that draws added attention following the blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. Meanwhile, a lucky clutch belonging to the Knicks' legendary 2026 playoff run is on display at the Guggenheim Museum.
