Keith Smith: Devin Carter's deal with the Boston Celtics is an Exhibit 10 contract, a league source told @spotrac . If Carter earns a regular season spot, deal becomes a standard non-guaranteed contract. It can also be converted to a two-way deal. Or Carter can get a bonus for joining Maine.
Michael Scotto: The Boston Celtics and Devin Carter have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshype . Carter will compete for an NBA roster or two-way spot in camp. Carter averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.4 minutes during 38 games for the Sacramento Kings last season.
Q: Ira, wouldn’t it be such a Heat move to sign Devin Carter off waivers? – Robin. Ira Winderman: Yes, it would, considering how the Heat have long brought in sons of those who have been with the organization or those whose parents have had ties with the organization. The Heat have both the salary-cap and roster-space wherewithal to make a move for the son of former Heat guard and assistant coach Anthony Carter. The question is why have both the Kings and Hawks both given up on Devin, the No. 13 pick in the 2024 draft who is only 24? That is where the background on those shoulder, ankle, calf and back injuries will come into play. Devin certainly stood as enticing in the 2024 draft coming out of Providence.
databallr: Devin Carter is a member of the often underrated “possession maxxer that can’t shoot” mold. High orb rate, high steal + charge rate. It’s not really intuitive just how much of an impact floor those attributes can give a player. EPM and Darko both have him near neutral, predicting he’s ~4% better than the ghastly 50% TS he put up last year. However, I assume the Hawks have a mountain of internal shooting data on him which gives them an edge in predicting just how poor his efficiency will look going forward. In any case, I think he’s worth picking up.
Jake Fischer: The Boston Celtics have shown interest in signing Devin Carter, sources say, once the Providence product clears waivers.

Brad Rowland: The Hawks officially waived Devin Carter. Atlanta has a well-documented roster crunch and still has 16 for 15 spots even after waiving Carter. In June, the Hawks received a 2033 second round pick from SAC to take Carter’s ~$5.1M contract. ATL also waived Lamont Butler today.
Third Apron: The Hawks will incur a $5.2 million dead cap hit for this season and decline his $7.4 million team option for next season. Devin Carter can sign with any team except the Kings. He still has two years of two-way eligibility remaining.
Michael Scotto: The Atlanta Hawks have waived Devin Carter, league sources told @hoopshype . The 24-year-old guard averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.4 minutes during 38 games played for the Sacramento Kings last season.
Speaking of the Hawks, unrestricted free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga remains a candidate to return to Atlanta on a potential one-plus-one deal, league sources told HoopsHype. With Atlanta currently $4.1 million below the luxury tax and having 17 players on the roster for 15 spots, the Hawks remain in trade discussions. As previously reported by HoopsHype, veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield is a trade candidate to monitor. It’s also worth noting that forward Mo Gueye has a $2.41 million non-guaranteed salary for the upcoming season and will be re-evaluated in three or four months after suffering a fractured left foot and having surgery. Devin Carter also became more expendable after the acquisition of Ryan Nembhard.
Kuminga, 23, has also drawn sign-and-trade interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Milwaukee Bucks. As Kuminga and his agent, Aaron Turner of Verus Basketball, navigate his free agency, each interested team has its own unique profile and variables being weighed, such as his average annual salary, roster fit, and deal structure. There is no specific dollar amount Kuminga is seeking that applies to all interested teams.

The Hawks have 17 players under contract after adding Dort and Nembhard, so they must subtract two by the time the season starts. Nembhard fills a need for a third point guard and seems unlikely to be the odd man out. Guard Buddy Hield is still on the books for $9 million but does not appear to be in the team’s plans, while guard Devin Carter (acquired in a salary dump from the Sacramento Kings) and forward Mo Gueye (on a non-guaranteed deal but out three to four months after surgery for a broken foot) are other potential casualties. Another trade, of course, is always possible. Atlanta also still has Bird rights on Kuminga that could be used in a sign-and-trade.
Bobby Marks: Carter has 2 years left: $5.2M and $7.4M Trade knocks Sacramento out of the second apron.
Michael Scotto: The Sacramento Kings are trading Devin Carter and a 2033 second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources told @hoopshype. Carter is owed $5.16 million next season, which now comes off the books for Sacramento next season.
