Damar Drozden Becomes Free Agent as Tarik Biberovic Signs with Dallas Mavericks

Damar Drozden was released by the Sacramento Kings on Monday, becoming a free agent expected to attract interest from multiple NBA teams, including championship contenders unable to sign LeBron James. The veteran guard, who will turn 37 next month, maintained his scoring efficiency last season with an average of 18.4 points per game on 49.7 percent shooting.

In related NBA moves, the Los Angeles Clippers signed forward Rui Hachimura to a two-year, $28 million contract after he completed his deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite offers from Golden State, Minnesota, Brooklyn, and San Antonio, Hachimura chose to stay in Los Angeles, where he averaged 11.5 points per game last season with strong shooting percentages.

Quentin Post left Golden State to join the Memphis Grizzlies on a three-year, $30 million contract. Meanwhile, Tarik Biberovic signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks, with Fenerbahce set to receive a substantial transfer fee of 2 million euros for the guard. Additionally, Jay Triano, known for his offensive expertise, departed his assistant coaching role with Dallas to join Portland, where he will work under Mike Nuri and return to a club he was part of from 2012 to 2016.
