Brooklyn acquires Kobe Bufkin from Atlanta for cash, adding a cheap, upside guard as the roster reshapes around Dinwiddie, Bridges and a thin guard rotation. Bufkin arrives with injury questions but promising length and two-way potential, carrying a $4.3M salary this season and a $6.9M option for 2025-26. Atlanta creates a $4.5M trade exception and cushions cap room to chase extensions for Dyson Daniels and Kristaps Porzingis. Brooklyn also signed David Muoka to a non-guaranteed deal, giving them a young, developmental big behind their guards.
