Sources: Kyrie Irving has sign-and-trade wish list if no deal with Brooklyn Nets


Kyrie Irving has created a list of teams he'd like the Brooklyn Nets to consider working with on a sign-and-trade if he and the team can't agree on terms for him to stay in Brooklyn, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. That list includes the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers, sources said. None of those teams have the cap space to sign Irving without Brooklyn cooperating on a sign-and-trade, and sources said some of them aren't interested in acquiring him. Irving has until Wednesday to decide whether he will opt into the final year of the four-year max contract he signed with Brooklyn in 2019.

Sources: NBA salary cap for 2022-23 projected to increase to $123.6M


The NBA's salary cap for the 2022-23 season is projected to come in at roughly $123.6 million, sources told ESPN, an $11.6 million increase from last season's $112 million figure. At that number, the luxury tax line for the 2022-23 season would be roughly $150.2 million, and the hard cap which teams cannot exceed if they acquire a player in a sign-and-trade deal or if they use the full midlevel exception -- will come in at roughly $156.9 million. The final salary-cap number, which will be determined once the audit of the league's finances is complete and the basketball-related income for the 2021-22 season is totaled, will be sent to teams before the league's moratorium for the start of the 2022-23 league year begins, at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.

James Harden declines option with Philadelphia 76ers as sides look to work out new deal, sources say


Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has declined his $47.3 million option and will become a free agent, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday.

The opt-out could go a long way in reshaping the Sixers' bench, including that full midlevel exception, the $4.1 million biennial exception and sign-and-trade deals. Harden, 32, averaged 22.0 points and 10.3 assists across 65 games with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia this past season, after being sent from Brooklyn to Philadelphia as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Ben Simmons in the other direction.
