Atlanta Hawks Sign Center Charles Bassey After Celtics Pass

The Atlanta Hawks have signed center Charles Bassey to an Exhibit 10 contract after he impressed during the NBA Summer League and was previously linked to a EuroLeague move, adding depth to their frontcourt for the upcoming season. Bassey, a former second-round pick by the Philadelphia 76ers, spent recent seasons with the San Antonio Spurs but struggled with injuries and limited playing time. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are exploring trade options that could involve sending Andrew Wiggins to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for players like Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht, aiming to rejuvenate their roster despite the high asking price for Wiggins. Additionally, former Atlanta Hawks lottery pick Cam Reddish, whose NBA career has been hampered by inconsistent performance and poor shooting efficiency, has signed with Lithuanian team BC Šiauliai after failing to attract NBA interest this offseason. These moves underscore the ongoing roster adjustments and strategic planning teams are undertaking as they prepare for the 2025-26 NBA season.
