Michael Scotto: Two teams with the ability to make a sign-and-trade agreement potentially happen are the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans. I know there are members of the Pelicans organization who like Nicolas Claxton, and the future of Jonas Valanciunas is uncertain, given how close the team will be to the luxury tax next season and his lack of usage at the end of the games, including the Play-In loss to the Lakers.

Nic Claxton on his impending free agency:
“I still have to weigh my options. This is my first time being an unrestricted free agent. It’s definitely a blessing.”
The 24-year-old will be one of the top centers on the market this summer.

Nic Claxton on his Nets tenure: “It’s been wild. It’s been chaotic. It’s been a whirlwind. I’m not going to sit here and lie.”
On coach: “I think that’ll happen here sooner than later. I just want transparency. Somebody that’s going to keep it real with me, look at me as a man.” pic.twitter.com/A8ajdYXW5Z – 12:29 PM
