About NBA news on Sports Wire Report
The NBA calendar has two news peaks: the February trade deadline and the opening of free agency right after the draft. Outside those windows, the steady flow is injury updates, contract extensions, coaching changes and the occasional blockbuster trade request.
NBA deals are usually reported the moment they are agreed, long before they become official. "Agreed to terms" from a national insider is almost always reliable; the team announcement can come days later once the deal can legally be signed.
