Paul Reed has signed a two-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Reed was drafted with the 58th pick of the 2020 draft. 

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a one-year deal with Derrick Walton Jr.

Broekhoff spent the past two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and was waived in February.

Dwight Howard prematurely Tweeted his return to the Los Angeles Lakers and later deleted it after he was under the assumption he had a one-year, $3 million offer on the table, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

Sources within the Lakers are adamant that a formal offer was never made and that it was a "deal concept" as part of their dialogue. Howard thought if he agreed to the "deal concept" that it would be a done deal.

The front office said they had to consult with ownership and seek approval before making an official offer. 

Howard waited for nearly an hour without hearing back.

The Philadelphia 76ers were aggressive in pursuing Howard and he decided to sign a one-year, $2.6 million deal.

The Lakers pivoted to signing Montrezl Harrell to a two-year, $19 million deal.

Dwight Howard has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers worth $2.6 million.

Howard will serve as backup center to Joel Embiid.

Daryl Morey signed Howard while with the Houston Rockets in 2013.

Howard sent out a Tweet earlier in free agency that he was going to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Houston Rockets have come to the realization that James Harden would like to move on from franchise and his mind is made up, but they are not preparing to rush into a trade to his preferred destination.

Houston previously has said they are "willing to get uncomfortable" with the Harden situation. 

"The sense I get from the Rockets is that their ambition, their goal, their hope is no longer about salvaging the relationship with James Harden and kind of getting him on board," said Tim MacMahon on the Brian Windhorst Podcast. "There's a realization, you know, his mind is made up. He wants out and there is a determination to say 'Okay, we get it. This happens in the NBA, but just because James Harden wants out doesn't mean he gets to dictate where and for what [he's traded].

"James Harden got to dictate the Russell Westbrook trade last summer. Tillman [Fertitta] liked it too at the time. Don't get me wrong. James Harden was the driving force behind that trade. That was no secret.

"Harden doesn't get to say where he's traded and basically force the Rockets to take a package that is 60 cents on the dollar for a perennial MVP candidate. I think what the Rockets are doing right now is they're prepping for the post-Harden rebuild."

MacMahon also reported what the Rockets are seeking for Harden.

"A package for Harden, and listen, this thing has accelerated a lot faster than I anticipated it would. These things are all fluid. We understand that. What the Rockets are saying is 'We need a young franchise cornerstone type of player and a Jrue Holiday-like package of picks. That's where conversations have to start.' And do you see a young franchise cornerstone caliber player on the Nets? Do you consider Caris LeVert either young or a franchise cornerstone?"

"Well, he's not Ben Simmons if that's your point," replied Brian Windhorst.

For the Russell Westbrook situation, there isn't a trade for them to make so they hope to keep him for now and he could possibly increase his trade value.

The Philadelphia 76ers are attempting to surround Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid with shooters after a series of trades on draft day.

Daryl Morey traded Al Horford to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Danny Green and then turned Josh Richardson into Seth Curry. 

“When Joel and Ben have had that, it’s actually insane how good those lineups and how good those teams played,” Morey said. “That was the theme for tonight. Getting Seth, you can argue he’s the best shooter in the NBA.”

Morey said Simmons and Embiid “are going to be here for a long time.”

While there have been rumors of a potential trade of Simmons for James Harden, reports have indicated that Morey prefers to make a pairing of Simmons and Embiid work before considering a trade.

The Dallas Mavericks are finalizing a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers of Seth Curry for Josh Richardson and the No. 36 pick that became Tyler Bey.

Curry will play for his father-in-law Doc Rivers. Curry signed a four-year, $32 million contract with the Mavericks last offseason.

The 76ers acquired Richardson last offseason from the Miami Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade.
