Oklahoma City is a team I have had marked down as a Paul Reed suitor for a very long time. Could see that being a match – 3:14 PM

More on this storyline
After playing the best basketball of his career in Philadelphia last season, Paul Reed has been used sparingly in Detroit. Reed is expected to be available ahead of February’s trade deadline. Reed has a non-guaranteed contract this season and next season as well. Keep an eye on Reed as a potential salary filler in trade talks or to command a potential future second-round draft pick from a team seeking frontcourt depth on the trade market. -via HoopsHype / December 2, 2024

“I feel really good about the veterans we’ve added,” Gores said. “Tobias Harris, whom I’ve known for a long time. We’ve got Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway Jr, and Paul Reed coming in. I feel very good about the offseason with the veterans. I think Trajan Langdon did a good job bringing the right people in, but still keeping flexibility.” -via Detroit News / October 9, 2024
