Wiseman will be under contract for $9.6 million for 2022-23. The Warriors hold another team option for Wiseman for the 2023-24 season.

The Charlotte Hornets have exercised their 2022-23 rookie scale team options for LaMelo Ball and P.J. Washington. It's the third-year option for Ball and the fourth-year option for Washington.

Amir Johnson will again suit up for the G League Ignite this season. Johnson played with the Ignite during their inaugural season during 2020-21.

The 14-year NBA veteran is prized by the Ignite coaches and front office because of his leadership with young players. When he was drafted in the 2005, Johnson made the jump straight from high school to the NBA. Johnson can provide unique experience for players making a similar jump to the G League.

Johnson is joined on the Ignite by veterans Dakarai Allen, Jessie Govan, Amauri Hardy, Pooh Jeter and Malik Pope.

This season, the Ignite will feature top prospects Jaden Hardy, Dyson Daniels, Michael Foster, and MarJon Beauchamp. Hardy is projected as a top-five pick, and Daniels is a potential lottery pick.

Dallas drafted Green with the 18th pick of the first round at the 2020 NBA Draft. As a rookie, Green played in 39 games with five starts. The Arizona product played limited minutes, as he found himself behind several veteran wing players.

Green also played for the Salt Lake City Stars during the 2021 G League bubble. In six games, he averaged 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

The Golden State Warriors re-signed veteran guard Gary Payton II. Payton inked a one-year deal at the veteran minimum with a partial guarantee. Payton had been waived by the Warriors on Sunday and cleared waivers on Tuesday.

By waiving and re-signing Payton, the Warriors lowered his cap hit. Due to Golden State being deep into the luxury tax, any additional salary they carry comes with prohibitive penalties.

Payton signed a two-year contract for the veteran minimum in mid-May last season. Payton had previously completed two 10 Day contracts with the Warriors. Golden State is said to like Payton's on-ball defense, as well as his ability to run the offense as a backup point guard.

The New York Knicks exercised their 2022-23 rookie scale team options for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin. It's the fourth-year option for Barrett and the third-year options for Quickley and Toppin.

Quickley became a key part of the rotation as a backup guard in his rookie season. He averaged 11.4 points in just 19.4 minutes. Quickley shot 38.9% from behind the arc in his first NBA season.

Toppin was a rotation regular, but played limited minutes as Julius Randle's primary backup. Toppin did play more as the season went along, and was a solid contributor in the postseason.

McDaniels was drafted with the 28th pick of the first round at the 2020 NBA Draft. His rights were acquired by Minnesota in a three-team deal that involved the Oklahoma City Thunder and New York Knicks. McDaniels played in 63 games (27 starts) and averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds.

Edwards will be under contract for the 2022-23 season at $10.7 million, while McDaniels will earn $2.2 million.
