James Wiseman Rumors

Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.

Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.

KΞRL_: Tyrese Haliburton says getting passed on by the Pistons felt the most personal Taylor Rooks: “Of the teams that passed on you, was there one that felt the most personal?” Tyrese Haliburton: “For sure, Detroit. For sure, Detroit.” “Because I mean, there were a lot of teams I wanted to go to. I liked Golden State a lot,that was like a dream. But I knew they probably wouldn't pick me at two.” “The Bulls, I thought, would have been cool. The Knicks. The Pistons. But with the Pistons, I knew they needed a point guard.” “In that moment, I already felt like I was the best point guard in the draft. LaMelo was touted as the number one guy, so he got drafted. And now I’m like, ‘Okay, it’s got to be me.’” “On ESPN, the top available were Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and LaMelo Ball. After that, I’m the number one best available.” “I told the Hawks and Cavs, ‘Please God, don’t draft me,’ because they already had Trae and Darius.” “So with the Pistons, I’m like, ‘You need a point guard, it’s got to be me.’ Then I look at my agent behind the camera and he gives me the look. Then it flashes up Killian Hayes, and I’m like, ‘What?!’” “In that moment, I was just angry. Like, what do you mean they need a point guard and they’re not picking me?”

Center James Wiseman has been offered to Maccabi Tel Aviv, which is considering his candidacy for next season, "Today" has learned. In recent weeks, the Yellows have begun building the team for next season, and according to sources in the United States, the club has recently been offered a particularly surprising and intriguing name - the American center who was selected second overall in the 2020 NBA draft.

Steve Kerr got off social media entirely, and hasn't looked back since. The Warriors coach, who once was very active on platforms such as X, formerly known as Twitter, deleted social media years ago, and in an interview with 95.7 The Game's "Willard & Dibs" on Wednesday, shared his reason for doing so at the time.

"It was a concious decision about five years ago," Kerr said. "James Wiseman was getting beaten up on social media and I went to him and I said 'Hey, let's get off social media together.' So we did it, and I figured it would be, you know, a month or two and I would go back, because I did enjoy a lot of it in terms of the newsfeed on Twitter and just following people that I like to follow, and then I realized after a couple weeks how great it was, that I didn't actually miss it and that I could just do the navigation on my own and find stuff that I wanted to read but avoid a lot of the toxic stuff."

"It was one of the best things I've ever done. I'm really able to avoid reading what a terrible human being and coach I am," Kerr joked. "That's healthy for me."

With his luck, it’s no wonder the Pacers let him go (he was on a 10-day hardship contract with four days left on it) while presents were still under the tree. “This whole process, honestly, it’s definitely been down a lot,” Wiseman told The Athletic Sunday, after finally, maybe, perhaps, doing something where timing was on his side. “I’m just keeping my head up and staying resilient, but it’s definitely been tough — I ain’t gonna lie. “Just being able to have resilience and be able to persevere through adversity is what matters.”

The Americans went 1-1 in the two-game window, including a 123-88 shellacking of Mexico in which Wiseman scored 8 points with three rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes. He played 25 minutes Thursday against the Dominican Republic (the U.S. lost, which was a stunner) and finished with 11 points and three blocks. Generally, Wiseman moved well on defense and most of his blocks came on recoveries, with him chasing the roll man and then pinning his shot against the boards. The Americans routinely ran plays for him at the rim, but the passes weren’t always there, so it looked to the untrained eye like Wiseman had some trouble catching the ball in traffic. “I feel like this was a test to see where I was at,” Wiseman said. “The torn Achilles stuff is serious, and it’s more of a mental grind than anything, but just being able through that whole process and stay resilient and then like seeing like how I was moving… you usually don’t come back the same, so being able to move really well and be able to feel like myself this week was really important.”

Wiseman smiles when he speaks. He is engaging. Teammates and coaches like him wherever he goes. He says enough to let you know basically what he’s thinking without divulging too much. He said former Warriors teammate Jonathan Kuminga was “my guy,” but didn’t (as Kuminga would) have any grand statement to make about either of them getting the chance they were looking for with Golden State. “I feel like just me being persistent with the progress, it’s gonna pay off,” Wiseman said. “I feel like me not being more of a liability on defense is what’s gonna keep me in the league for sure.”
