Because the NBA is not only made up of superstars with flashy names and known to all, we offer you a little recap, franchise by franchise, of the latest moves in the submarine of players that we have not had the opportunity to speak recently. Welcome to the wonderful world of Mireille Jecépakité, Gustave Cékoitonblaz and Francis Tékitwa.
# Los Angeles Lakers
Mac McClung was cut, Frank Mason III signed an Exhibit 10 training camp deal. Position for position, Franky brings back a tad of NBA experience to the purple and gold leads but should soon join Macmac in the G League.
# New Orleans Pelicans
- John Petty Jr. Signed: The Alabama varsity sniper joins former teammate Herb Jones on the Pelicans wings and brings back his fat shooter wrist.
- Zion Williamson, Alexander-Walker, Jaxson Hayes, Kira Lewis, team options lifted: Elementary my dear Zion, logic.
- Wenyen Gabriel, James Banks, Malcolm Hill, Zylan Cheatham and Jared Harper cut: apart from the first, only unknown blazes, who will normally all end up in Birmingham Squadron (G League)
# Cleveland Cavaliers
- Mfiondu Kabengele and Brodric Thomas cut. Finally one less interior at the Cavs and… who is the other?
- Ed Davis and Justin James signed: unsecured contract for the former Portland pivot who therefore takes Kabengele’s spot in the racket and training camp deal for JJ. Wouhou.
# Sacramento Kings
Matt Coleman and DJ Steward cut: apart from their pretty funny names, nothing to say about these guys unknown to the battalion.
# Toronto Raptors
Freddie Gillespie and Reggie Perry cut: forced release for the Raptors who were at 19 players under contracts. The two young wingers could easily regain a franchise before the resumption.
# New York Knicks
Tyler Hall cut, Myles Powell signed: no idea who these two guys are but good luck to Myles to get a place in the New York backlines and good luck to Tyler.
# Orlando Magic
Jeremiah Tilmon cut, Devin Cannady signed: no idea who these two guys are but good luck to Devin to get a place on the Florida backlines and good luck to Jeremiah.
# Atlanta Hawks
Ibi Watson signs an Exhibit 10 training camp deal: bad news for Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot who sees a competitor at his post come to look for the fifteenth spot of the Atlanta roster after the departure of Jahlil Okafor
# Denver Nuggets
Matt Ryan cut, Giorgi Bezhanishvili signs an Exhibit 10 training camp deal: Conclusive Summer League for the Georgian strong-winger who will be able to talk about Europe in the racket with Niko.
# Charlotte Hornets
DJ Carton and Xavier Sneed cut, Jalen Crutcher and Cameron McGriff signed: our providential man is finally here and should especially be in G League with his three friends this year.
# Brooklyn Nets
- Bryce Brown and Josh Gray cut off: phew, for a while we thought it was Bruce Brown but actually it’s just two guys we don’t give a damn about.
- Jordan Bowden and Brandon Rachal signed: unsecured training camp contracts scratched by the two full-backs who will end up with the Long Island Nets
# Milwaukee Bucks
Jemerrio Jones cut, Rayjon Tucker signs an Exhibit 10 training camp deal: the swingman is looking for a new start two after spending at the Bucks while JJ did not hold a week in Wisconsin.
# Oklahoma City Thunder
Rob Edwards cut: no info to give as the boy has a blaze to end up as a farmer in Iowa, so we’ll bet on that.
# Golden State Warriors
Langston Galloway cut, Quinndary Weatherspoon signed: Probably the biggest name in this article, Galloway has been sidelined for the final Warriors squad spot and sees the explosive former Spurs full-back stealing the spot to make a comeback expected (no) in the NBA.
# Chicago Bulls
Daniel Oturu and Ethan Thompson cut: apart from the fact that the first boy has a last name that looks like a bull and therefore ultimately won’t play in the Taureans, there is clearly nothing to cry about
# San Antonio Spurs
Denzel Mahoney and Jaylen Morris cut off: if you’ve never read or heard these blazes, know that this is perfectly normal because neither do we and the news has the same effect on us as the death of an ant.
In the end, no major move that won’t change the face of your favorite franchise by guiding it to the title or whatever. However, we are talking here about submarine movements which GMs have the secret and which can always prove to be profitable and reveal hidden talents one day or another. So if one day one of the names above ends up All-Star, we can at least say that we had already talked about it… and it is already that.
