Russell Westbrook isn't going anywhere.

The guard agreed to a two-year deal worth around $8 million, according to ESPN.

Westbrook's deal comes with a player option, ESPN reported.

The nine-time All-Star joined the Clippers last year after he was dealt by the Lakers to the Jazz and subsequently waived.

Westbrook, a two-time NBA scoring champion, averaged 15.8 points in the final 21 games of the season with the Clippers.

The Houston Rockets continue to make some splashy moves in free agency.

A day after agreeing to a deal with Fred VanVleet, the Rockets are now adding guard Dillon Brooks on a four-year, $80 million deal, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Shortly after, Houston also agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with Jock Landale, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported.

In Brooks, the Rockets get a player who's a solid defender and has averaged 14.5 points per game in his career.

Landale has been a backup guard for two seasons in the NBA and has played 12.7 minutes per game.

If a team wants to trade for Damian Lillard, they're going to have pay the price -- a hefty one.

The Trail Blazers are looking for a "star-level return" for Lillard, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Wojnarowski added that Portland will look beyond just the Heat in potentially dealing the superstar.

Reports earlier Saturday indicated the Heat and Nets were among the potential landing spots for Lillard, who requested a trade despite them agreeing to a deal with Jerami Grant.

Austin Reaves has agreed to a four-year, $56 million early bird maximum contract with the Lakers, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported.

Reaves was a restricted free agent after his second season in the league.

According to Charania, the deal as a player option on the fourth year and a 15 percent trade kicker.

Reaves averaged 13 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting over 50 percent from the field across 64 games last year with Los Angeles.

A product of Wichita State and Oklahoma signed a two-way deal with the Lakers in 2021 after going undrafted.

Obi Toppin’s Knicks career is over, and without him really getting a shot at proving what he could do with a major opportunity.

The Knicks reportedly sent Toppin to the Pacers for future draft picks, ending the Brooklyn native’s underwhelming three seasons here.

The 6-foot-9 Toppin was the first draft pick of the Leon Rose era, the eighth overall selection in the 2020 draft.

He found himself behind All-Star Julius Randle, in a minor role that never expanded.

The move doesn’t come as a major surprise, since Toppin is eligible to sign a rookie-scale extension and the Knicks didn’t appear interested in extending him.

Guard Patrick Beverley has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

It was not immediately clear what the full terms of the deal included.

A member of five NBA organizations since entering the league in 2012-13, he's been on the NBA's All-Defensive Team three times.

In his career, he's averaged 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks are bringing back Brook Lopez on a two-year, $48 million deal, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Lopez has been a key contributor with the Bucks over the last five seasons, as he's averaged 13.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game over that span.

Lopez, who won the 2021 NBA Finals with the Bucks, has twice been on the NBA's All-Defensive Team and was an All-Star with the Nets in 2012-13.

Even as franchise player Damian Lillard wants out of Portland, that does not change the Trail Blazers' intention to sign Jerami Grant, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Grant and Portland had agreed to a five-year, $160 million deal in the first few hours of free agency Friday.

On Saturday, Lillard, whose status with the team has long been a question this offseason, made it known he wants to be traded out of Portland, according to multiple reports.

The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that the Heat and Nets are among the teams where Lillard could land.

D'Angelo Russell's second stint with the Lakers will be an extended one.

The 27-year-old guard agreed to a two-year, $37 million deal with Los Angeles on Saturday, according to ESPN.

The second year is a player option.

Russell, drafted by the Lakers No. 2 overall in 2015, came back to the franchise from the Timberwolves in the three-team deal to replace Russell Westbrook last season.

He averaged 17.4 points and 6.1 assists while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from 3-point range in 17 games following the trade.

The Heat and Thomas Bryant have agreed to a two-year, $5.4 million deal, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

The second year of the contract is a player option, according to Wojnarowski.

A center, Byrant has spent time with the Lakers, Wizards and Nuggets.

He played in 18 games down the stretch of the regular season for Denver, averaging 4.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes a game.

Bryant played in just one playoff game as the Nuggets won the 2023 NBA Finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are EuroLeague guard Vasilije Micic on a three-year, $23.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

He averaged 16.5 points and 4.6 assists per game last season for the Anadolu Efes.

Oklahoma City had originally acquired his rights in a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2016.

The 29-year-old has averaged 13.1 points per game over eight seasons in Europe.

Damian Lillard officially has asked out, instantly moving to the top of an already burgeoning NBA trade market. 

The seven-time All-Star guard has requested a trade out of Portland, with the Heat and the Nets “among the leading suitors for one of the NBA’s 75 Greatest Players ever,” Shams Charania of The Athletic tweeted.

But the 32-year-old Lillard’s preferred destination is Miami after Jimmy Butler and the Heat made a surprise run to the NBA Finals last month, the report stated.
