More on this storyline
Houston has only the midlevel exception to sign a player, which meant they had to turn either the Finney-Smith or Clint Capela agreement into a sign-and-trade. That’s what they’re doing in this seven-team deal, which is not yet complete and which would include Capela heading from Atlanta to Houston. -via New York Times / July 4, 2025
As of now, Finney-Smith is not a part of this seven-team deal. The only players who were in the NBA last season who are part of it today are Capela, Durant, Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, Daeqwon Plowden and David Roddy, league sources say. -via New York Times / July 4, 2025
