James L. Edwards III: As for other realistic free-agent options, I think Detroit goes heavily after the likes of Malik Monk, Nic Claxton and Gary Harris. Monk feels like someone the Pistons will heavily prioritize due to the team’s need for legitimate 3-point shooting and off-the-dribble shot creation. Claxton would address the rim protection woes. Harris, despite usually missing several games a season due to injury, is the exact type of 3-and-D role player the Pistons could desperately use.

🚨 New words 🚨
We’ve all heard about Nic Claxton’s potentially robust market in free agency, but who are the cap space teams who could actually steal him away from Brooklyn?

On LeBron James, Tyus Jones, Nic Claxton and several other “wishful thinking” free agency targets that paint the picture of how hard it’ll be for the Suns to find significant value at the vet minimum: bit.ly/3KppmUL – 3:04 PM

There is no news on the Nic Claxton front. He’s not alone here; the NBA world is still generally focused on the playoffs, as we’re just one game into the second round, or in other words, a quarter of the way home. Still, sources indicate that Brooklyn is very confident in their ability to re-sign Clax, even if the annual value on the contract approaches $25 million. But you don’t have to be an insider to read the tea leaves. There was a member of Brooklyn’s social media content team asking Jordi Fernández about Clax at his presser, not to mention Fernández’s consistent praise of the lefty big since taking the job. -via NetsDaily / May 6, 2024
