Thon Maker Doesn't Receive Qualifying Offer

Detroit Pistons center Thon Maker was not extended a qualifying offer by the organization. The former 10th overall selection during the 2016 NBA Draft has been unable to live up to expectations. He wasn't able to make much of an impact during his 60 games in Detroit last season. The Pistons have decided to move […]

Juan Hernangomez Gets Qualifying Offer

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez was extended the qualifying offer by the organization. He played well during his short time with the Wolves last season. Sadly, it was only a 14 game sample size and the team was without Karl-Anthony Towns during most of those contests. The Wolves will be able to match any offer […]

Suns Decline Team Option On Cheick Diallo

Phoenix Suns center Cheick Diallo had his team option for the 2020-2021 season declined by the organization. The 24-year-old center played in 47 games with Phoenix last season. He was mainly used as emergency depth, so declining his option is probably for the best. Diallo will hopefully find himself a better situation elsewhere, but he […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Not Returning With Mavs

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein has decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. He only made 13 appearances in Dallas last season and was buried on the depth chart. The 27-year-old still has plenty of potential, but needs to find the right place for himself. He might have late-round draft appeal […]

Anthony Davis Declines Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis has declined his $28.7 million player option for next season. Lakers fans shouldn't be worried since this was expected all along. Davis is fully expected to be back in a Lakers uniform next season. The full details about his deal have not been worked out, but it'd be shocking […]

Nicolas Batum Returning To Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum unsurprisingly accepted his $27.1 million player option for next season. This comes as no surprise to anyone after Batum's fantasy value died in Charlotte. He was barely part of the rotation last year and it's unlikely anything changes this season. Batum will serve as a benchwarmer and veteran mentor for […]

Evan Fournier Sticking In Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier will pick up his $17 million player option for next season. It's unlikely Fournier would get more money on the open market, so probably a smart idea by him. This could turn out to be a great decision for Fournier, assuming he stays healthy. The Magic don't have many options […]

Wesley Matthews Declining Player Option

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews has reportedly decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. The veteran guard started in all 67 games that he appeared in last season. Matthews could be looking for a bigger role elsewhere with the Bucks bringing in more talent this offseason. There should be plenty of […]

Rajon Rondo Expected To Leave Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.6 million player option for next season. The organization has agreed to a trade that lands them guard Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rondo wouldn't have much of a role with the Lakers while Schroder is there. Plenty of organizations should have […]

Otto Porter Accepts Player Option

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter has accepted his $28.4 million player option for next season, which should come as a surprise to no one. There was absolutely no chance Porter would get anything near that amount of money in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls attempt to trade Porter, but they […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Declines Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has decided to decline his $8.5 million player option. This doesn't come as shocking news after the Lakers acquired guard Dennis Schroder. Caldwell-Pope obviously wants a bigger role on a team and should have plenty of suitors. He's a decent defender and usually a reliable shooter from beyond the […]

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Miss Start Of The Season

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is expected to miss the beginning of the regular season. The organization is going to continue to be cautious with their superstar center. Hopefully, Porzingis is able to get on the court around January, but that is unknown right now. Dwight Powell (Achilles) might be ready by the season […]

DeMar DeRozan Staying With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan has unsurprisingly accepted his $27.7 million player option for next season. This was a no-brainer for him since it's unlikely he'd get anything close to that in free agency. There has been speculation that the Spurs want to trade DeRozan, but it'll be difficult finding a suitor that wants […]

Kris Dunn Does Not Get Qualifying Offer

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn will head to free agency after the organization decided not to extend a qualifying offer to him. Dunn will be an unrestricted free agent, which means he can sign with any organization he wants to. The Bulls are expected to draft a guard, so Dunn would've been buried on the […]

Denzel Valentine Gets Qualifying Offer

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine surprisingly has been extended a $4.7 million qualifying offer. That means, Valentine is a restricted free agent, so the Bulls can match any offers that he receives. It is quite odd the Bulls extended this offer since Valentine has not had a significant role on the team. Although, the Bulls […]

Robin Lopez Heads To Free Agency

Milwaukee Bucks center Robin Lopez has declined his $5 million player option and will head to free agency. He'll be an unrestricted free agent and feels he'll have a strong market. The veteran center doesn't have the same type of fantasy value as he did years ago. He could hold some deep league value, assuming […]

Jerami Grant Declines Player Option

Denver Nuggets forward Jerami Grant has declined his $9.3 million player option and will head to free agency. This news should not come as a shock to anyone after Grant had a breakout season in Denver. The Nuggets are the favorites to re-sign Grant, but at a much higher salary. There could end up being […]

Shaquille Harrison Heads To Free Agency

Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison will not be returning next season as the organization did not extend a qualifying offer to him. He'll become an unrestricted free agent and should have decent market value. Harrison is a reliable defender, but it's unlikely that he holds fantasy value in basically any formats. The Bulls have too […]

Buddy Hield Expected To Return To Starting Lineup

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield played off the bench for most of the year last season. Honestly, Hield looked solid off the bench averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists per game. However, the Kings have traded Bogdan Bogdanovic, which means Hield is likely headed back into the starting five. Hield was unhappy with coming […]

Andre Drummond Unsurprisingly Accepts Player Option

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond has reportedly accepted his $28.7 million player option for next season. This news shouldn't shock anyone as Drummond was not expected to get anything close to that in free agency. This means Drummond should hit free agency next season and possibly be a trade candidate mid-season for the Cavs. The […]

Jabari Parker Returning To Sacramento

Sacramento Kings forward Jabari Parker will accept his player option for next season. Parker accepted his $6.5 million option, which isn't surprising since who knows if he'd get that in free agency. He'll likely be buried on the depth chart in Sacramento, so injuries are the only way he'll find himself with reliable fantasy value. […]

Rodney Hood Declines Player Option

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has reportedly declined his player option for next season. He suffered an Achilles tear last December, but it appears he's fully healthy for training camp. The player option was worth $6 million, so it's tough to see him getting more money in free agency. Possibly, Hood just wanted […]

Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn Returning To Miami

Miami Heat guards Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn have been given guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. The organization will bring back both players on a team-friendly $1.7 million contract. Robinson will continue to chuck up shots from beyond the perimeter. Nunn could still a bigger role next season, assuming Goran Dragic leaves or returns […]

Gordon Hayward's Option Deadline Extended

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward will reportedly get the deadline for him to make a decision on his player option extended. The option is worth $34.2 million, so it'd be surprising to see Hayward decline that offer. He won't get anywhere near that kind of money in free agency, especially with his injury history. Hayward […]

John Wall Will Be Limited Next Season

Washington Wizards guard John Wall (Achilles) will be limited to one game in back-to-back sets for this upcoming season. As of right now, it sounds like Wall is expected to miss at least 14 games. It's his first year back from an Achilles tear that cost sidelined him basically two years. It wouldn't be surprising […]

Bradley Beal Staying In Washington

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is reportedly not going anywhere this offseason, according to general manager Tommy Sheppard. On Tuesday, Sheppard said there is no scenario that exists where the organization is willing to trade Beal. He's locked up through the 2023 season with a player option on the final year. The trade rumors are […]

Jakobi Meyers Continues To Produce

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the few bright spots on offense for this team in Week 10. Meyers caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also threw a 24-yard touchdowns pass to Rex Burkhead, which was pretty amazing. Meyers has looked […]

Rex Burkhead Scores Twice In Win Over Ravens

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead had a tough time finding much room to run against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. He rushed six times for 31 yards in the win. However, he was able to salvage his fantasy value with four receptions, 35 yards, and two touchdowns through the air. The Patriots […]

Damien Harris Dominates On The Ground In Week 10

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris was fantastic on the ground versus the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. He rushed 22 times for 121 yards in the win over the Ravens. Both the yards and carries were a season high for Harris. Sony Michel (quad) is expected to suit up next week, but Harris […]

Cam Newton Effective In Win Over Ravens

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton didn't have a great outing, but was effective during the Week 10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He completed 13 of 17 passing attempts for 118 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Newton also rushed 11 times for 21 yards and one touchdown on the ground. He didn't […]
