[Smith] The Brooklyn Nets have declined their 2022-23 team option for Kessler Edwards, a league source tells @spotrac. The Nets have tendered a $1.8M qualifying offer to make Edwards a restricted free agent on July 1.

[Wojnarowski] In James Harden’s mind, opting out of that deal and then negotiating a new contract when free agency opens gives the Sixers a lot more financial flexibility to improve this team in the offseason. He’s committed to winning.

[Moore] As Indiana continues to take calls for Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner, the Lakers have circled back to a familiar target: Buddy Hield.
