On September 16, the NBA free market suddenly became lively again, ushering in a crazy night, reaching a small deal of 1 for 1, from the Hawks and the Nets; 3 signings were reached, the Clippers' former player Hylander reached a contract with the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves signed Zhu Zan, and the Spurs will sign Biyongbo again; the negotiations between the Warriors and Kumingga are deadlocked again, and the Warriors raised their offer before but were still rejected.

According to famous reporter Shams, the Hawks traded guard Kobe Buffkin to the Nets to exchange for some cash. A small deal was reached, and the Hawks maintained the flexibility of the lineup. Buffkin was the No. 15 pick in the first round of 2023. He played 10 games for the Hawks in the 24-25 season, averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. It depends on whether he can show his talent this time joining the Nets.

Clippers' former player Hylander reached an agreement with the Timberwolves, and the two sides will cooperate again. It is not yet certain what contract it is. Hyland played for the Clippers and the Timberwolves last season, and did not get any chance. He averaged only 10 minutes of playing time and contributed 6.2 points and 1.3 assists. After being traded by the Clippers, it seems that they are almost unable to play the ball, so it depends on whether they can stay this time.

The Timberwolves also officially announced the official signing of forward player Zhu Zan, and the two sides signed a one-year contract. Zhu Zan used to play for the Jazz, averaging 9.8 points per game in the 24-25 season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38%. His joining also increased the depth of the Timberwolves' lineup.

The Spurs signed back with a one-year contract, and the latter ushered in the 15th season of their career, and both sides signed a one-year unsecured contract. Biyongbo played 28 games last season, averaging 5.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, which can also make the Spurs more in-depth inside.

The Warriors and Kumingga have not reached a trend of cooperation, and the two sides have not made much progress. Famous reporter Shams revealed that the Warriors have previously raised their quotation, providing 3-year, $75.2 million plus third-year team options, and guaranteed salary of $48 million in the first two seasons, but Kumingga does not want the team options, and eventually the talks collapsed. In addition, the Warriors also rejected the sign-on and then exchange plan provided by the Kings and Suns, and did not intend to let him go easily. At the same time, the boss Lacob also participated and seemed to want to keep Kumingga, but once the contract is signed, he will become a complete free agent next year.
