Three players on non-guaranteed training camp deals have been waived in recent days, with Chicago moving on from Peter Suder, Utah cutting Jaelen House and Portland waiving Hyunjung Lee.
Suder was the latest name to hit the transaction log, with the Bulls requesting waivers on Thursday, according to NBA.com. The Jazz announced House’s release in a press release, while Lee was officially waived on Wednesday, also per the transaction log.
Because all three were on Exhibit 10 contracts, they’re in line for a bonus of up to $91K if they remain with their teams’ G League affiliates for at least 60 days.
Suder entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Miami (Ohio) in June after a standout college run. He earned MAC Player of the Year honors while helping his team finish the 2025/26 regular season at 31-0. The 6’5″ guard put up 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 33 games, shooting 54.6% from the floor and 42.1% from beyond the arc.
His path took a quick turn after the draft. Suder agreed to a two-way deal with the Lakers immediately after the draft and finalized it in the first week of July, but he struggled in six Summer League games between the California Classic and Las Vegas. Los Angeles waived him a few weeks later, and he later landed with Chicago.
Lee, a 6’7″ guard/forward from South Korea, arrives at this point after a decorated run overseas. Last season, he helped Nagasaki Velca win its first-ever B.League championship, taking home Finals MVP honors, a spot on the B.League Season Best 5 and the Asia Special Award. Before that, he spent two seasons in Australia and was part of the Illawarra Hawks’ 2024/25 NBL title team.
House’s pro career has been built in the G League so far. The 6’0″ point guard played two seasons at Arizona State and three at New Mexico before going undrafted in 2024, then spent his first two professional years with the San Diego Clippers.
His numbers in San Diego were split between two very different stretches. During the fall Tip-Off Tournament, he logged a modest role, averaging 9.2 PPG, 3.6 APG, 2.4 RPG and 0.9 SPG while shooting .388/.300/.688 in 10 games and 16.3 minutes per contest. In the 2025/26 regular season, though, he was far more productive, posting 21.0 PPG, 7.6 APG, 3.0 RPG and 1.9 SPG on .442/.363/.844 shooting over 22 appearances and 28.6 minutes per game.

Blazers Suddenly Face Another Broadcast Shakeup Before Preseason
The Trail Blazers are back in the market for a new play-by-play voice before preseason even gets underway, a jarring turn for a broadcast booth that was supposed to have found some stability. The organization had only recently introduced Braiden Bell as its latest hire, stepping into the role left open after Kevin Calabros departure, and the move was meant to help settle one of the more visible parts of the teams presentation.
Instead, Portland moved quickly to part ways with Bell after old racist and offensive tweets from 2012 and 2013 surfaced, prompting the club to issue a statement condemning the posts and reaffirming its commitment to inclusive values. It leaves the Blazers once again searching for a replacement at a time when the focus was supposed to be on basketball, not another abrupt broadcast reset. [Read more 🡒]
Blazers Coach Already Faces A Damian Lillard Ja Morant Dilemma
Micah Nori is already trying to sort through one of the more intriguing lineup questions facing Portland before the preseason even gets rolling. With Damian Lillard and Ja Morant both on the roster, the Trail Blazers have enough shot creation in the backcourt to make any coach curious, but also enough size concerns to make the fit tricky. Nori has said he wants to test different combinations and see what works best, which is exactly the kind of early-camp experiment this situation calls for.
The tension comes from how Portland balances pure talent against defensive stability, especially when two undersized guards are involved. Nori has made clear that his contract status will not influence those decisions, and Jrue Holiday looms as the more defense-first alternative if the Blazers decide they need more balance in the starting five. For now, the roster gives Portland options, but it also leaves one of the teams biggest questions sitting right at the point of attack. [Read more 🡒]
Blazers Give Rip City Its First Real Look At This Team

The annual event starts at 4 p.m. and comes with the usual extras that make it more than just an on-court workout, including entertainment, giveaways and access to team merchandise, with free tickets available only through advance registration.
It also arrives at a useful point on the calendar, just three days before Portland begins preseason play at home against the Warriors on Oct. 7. For a team still trying to build its identity before the games count, Fan Fest offers the first live look at how this group is coming together, and another reminder that the crowd inside Moda Center is likely to matter as much as the basketball itself.
