Austin Reaves agreed to a four-year deal that could be worth $56m with the Lakers, and D'Angelo Russell returned to the Lakers as well on a $37m, two-year deal. Reaves and Russell were both starters in the postseason for the Lakers, who made the Western Conference finals before falling to the eventual NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets.

Also Saturday, Milwaukee - which had already retained Khris Middleton - kept center Brook Lopez on a two-year deal, worth $48m for the 35-year-old, who averaged 15.9 points in 78 games this past season for the Bucks.

Russell Westbrook is also staying where he ended last season, agreeing to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers - after starting the last 21 games for them in the regular season and their five playoff games. The second year is at Westbrook's option, ESPN reported the deal was worth $8m.

While Reaves, Russell, Lopez and Westbrook stayed put, Max Strus found a new home.

Strus - who helped Miami get to the NBA Finals - is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers, agreeing to a $63m, four-year deal that was finalised on Saturday by making the transaction part of a three-team trade. Strus goes to the Cavaliers, who will send Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens to San Antonio while Miami gets future second-round draft compensation.

The Knicks, who beat the Cavaliers in the first round for their first postseason victory in a decade, added another former NCAA champion from Villanova by agreeing to a deal with Donte DiVincenzo. The swingman joins college team-mates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart with a four-year, $50m deal, a person with knowledge of the details said.

Also on Saturday, Orlando retained Moritz Wagner ($16m, two years) and the Heat added Thomas Bryant ($5.4m, two years, second at his option) to give them some extra size. Bryant was with the Nuggets for their title run although hardly featured.

Dwight Powell agreed to return to the Mavericks on a three-year contract, which could push the Dallas tenure past 10 years for a secondary piece in the trade that brought Rajon Rondo from Boston in 2015.
