Wagner agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Nets on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Wagner will move on from Orlando after six seasons with the franchise. The deal is fully guaranteed and includes a second-year mutual option. During the 2025-26 regular season, after successfully recovering from an ACL injury, Wagner averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

Vucevic will sign a one-year deal to join the Magic, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Wednesday.

Vucevic will head back to Orlando, where he previously played for nine total seasons. Vucevic will be 36 in October, and the Magic are almost certainly picturing him as their backup center behind Wendell Carter. In 64 total regular-season appearances between the Bulls and Celtics in 2025-26, Vucevic averaged 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

Mogbo will sign a two-way contract with the Kings, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports Wednesday.

Previously with the Raptors, Mogbo will become a developmental project for the Kings. Presumably, he will spend the bulk of his time in the G League early on. Mogbo made 40 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 for an average of 6.2 minutes per contest.

Hukporti agreed to a one-year, $3.4 million deal with the 76ers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The 76ers will add some athletic frontcourt depth behind Joel Embiid and Adem Bona, with Andre Drummond set for unrestricted free agency. Hukporti was used sparingly by the Knicks during the 2025-26 regular season, appearing in 54 games with 2.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 9.2 minutes per contest.

Smart agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Rockets on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

With LeBron James expected to leave the Lakers, Smart declined his $5.4 million player option that would have kept him in Los Angeles for 2026-27 and will instead join Ime Udoka, who coached Smart for one season in Boston. That year, Smart won Defensive Player of the Year, and the Celtics reached the NBA Finals. Last regular season, the veteran guard averaged 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per game over 62 appearances (54 starts). Smart figures to play a complementary role in Houston's backcourt, with Fred VanVleet (knee) working his way back to full strength.

Collins agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract with the Pistons on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

With Tobias Harris expected to leave this offseason, the Pistons found a new starting power forward in Collins, who's coming off a down year but has been steady throughout his career. Across nine seasons and three different teams, Collins has averaged 16.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals while posting 55/37/79 shooting splits.

Powell agreed to a two-year, $45 million contract with the Bulls on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Powell has averaged at least 21 points per game in each of the past two seasons, including his first All-Star appearance during his age-32 campaign with the Heat in 2025-26. However, the veteran will now join his third team in as many years, likely serving as the starting shooting guard next to Josh Giddey in Chicago's backcourt.

Bogdanovic signed a one-year contract with the Rockets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After the Clippers declined their team option on Bogdanovic's contract, the veteran sharpshooter is set to head to Houston. The 33-year-old saw inconsistent burn with Los Angeles in 2025-26, averaging a career-low 7.4 points along with 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 19.7 minutes per showing across 23 regular-season appearances (three starts). He shot a career-worst 34.7 percent from deep last season but is a career 38.1 percent shooter from three-point range over nine seasons.

Wade agreed to a four-year, $39 million contract with the 76ers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Wade spent the first seven years of his career in Cleveland, most recently averaging 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 36.2 percent from deep across 22.3 minutes in 59 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although the 29-year-old forward hasn't been a steady contributor throughout his career, he'll still provide valuable depth for the Sixers, considering he's capable of contributing on both ends of the floor while being used interchangeably as a starter or reserve.

Collins (toe) agreed to a two-year, $17 million extension with Chicago on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Collins will return to Chicago on a multi-year deal rather than testing free agency. The big man was limited to just 10 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest while dealing with a left wrist fracture early in the season before suffering a right toe sprain that ultimately required surgery. Collins figures to provide center depth off the bench alongside Jalen Smith (calf) behind the recently acquired Nic Claxton (finger).
