The NBA and NBPA are holding discussions about a possible second site for the eight teams not participating in the Orlando restart. The Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors face a scenario where they will go nearly six months without playing a competitive game.

Sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic that there is significant support from most of those eight teams about the concept. 

Those eight teams could even play televised games.

The Cavaliers, Pistons and Hawks have been the most vocal among the group in support of the idea. The Knicks have expressed reservations, at least in part because they have a roster with several pending free agents.

One of those teams could serve as host, or they could also play in a city such as Las Vegas or Houston.

Trae Young announced that he has officially signed with Klutch Sports in an Instagram announcement.

Young's former agent at Octagon, Omar Wilkes, was recently named the Head of Basketball at Klutch Sports.

Young severed ties with Octagon to rejoin Wilkes at Klutch.

Trae Young has severed ties with Octagon and appears likely to join Klutch Sports.

Young had been represented by Omar Wilkes, who left Octagon this week to become Head of Basketball at Klutch Sports.

Young is in no rush to make a decision and will interview agents, but the frontrunner is Klutch Sports.

Young emerged as an All-Star in his second NBA season.

Vince Carter announced his retirement, saying he is "officially done playing basketball professionally."

Carter announced before the start of the 19-20 season that this would be his final season.

Carter had not addressed his playing status since the NBA season was suspended March 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

"If there was any disappointment because of the season -- any of that -- it was kind of easier to put it aside and handle it that way," Carter said. "It's like, OK, it's something bigger than my career. ... It's unfortunate, but with the coronavirus taking people's lives rapidly, that's the big picture in my mind.

"So I was able to put the weird ending -- the abrupt stoppage of play, to an ending -- aside for the bigger picture."

Clint Capela said his heal has fully healed with the league suspended since March. 

“Way, way, way better. I’ve been taking care of it all this time. Now, I really feel that my heel has really healed. So it doesn’t bother me when I walk around with it or when I work out, so far. I just can’t wait to go out there and play," said Capela.

Capela had been missing games due to the heel injury since December.

Capela added that he and John Collins can complement each other once the Hawks return to the court. 

“I think we’re both going to have to (be) complementary with each other. I know that he can shoot the ball, so ... he shoots good with the ball in his hands, he can drive to the basket, and I think I can do some of it too, drive to the basket and stuff like that. We’re just going to have to play together and I think we’re good enough to figure it out together on the court. And we’re definitely going to have time to do it, with all this time.”

Trae Young expressed his frustration at the NBA not extending an Orlando invite to the Atlanta Hawks, thereby ending the team's regular season.

"I was mad. I was frustrated. Obviously I wanted to play. I understand what the NBA did and respect their decision. But I am kind of upset because I want to play," said Young on Wednesday.

The Hawks are one of several teams looking to hold their own offseason training in lieu of finishing out the regular season.

Young added that he is in contact with his teammates about holding workouts in Atlanta or Las Vegas once it is safe to do so. 

"We can't go five, six months without seeing each other. We are trying to take this to new heights next year."

A majority of the NBA teams left out of the league's restart of the regular season have proposed putting on their own mini summer leagues and training camps to continue to develop their young players.

The teams, which include Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, and New York, could possibly go nine months in between games. There is concern that young, developing players will struggle as they are separated from their teams for an extended period of time.

Several teams have proposed training camps and organized team activities in lieu of regular season games. 

The Pistons and Cavs are discussing the possibility of having joint practices, as well as a mini-pod of games.

The teams have presented several ideas to the league, including: mandatory and voluntary workouts in July, regional minicamps in August that include joint practices and three televised games, and for their 2020-21 training camps to start 7-10 days earlier than teams competing in Orlando.

The league said it would work with the teams in question to help reach a solution.
