Goran Dragic Re-Signing With Heat

The Miami Heat and point guard Goran Dragic have agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth $37.4 million. There's a team option in the second year. The aging Dragic dealt with injuries the past couple of years, but was healthy for the playoffs last year and averaged 19.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.1 rebounds […]

Nuggets To Sign Facundo Campazzo

The Denver Nuggets have agreed to a two-year deal with Real Madrid point guard Facundo Campazzo. Currently in the midst of a EuroLeague season, Campazzo will now head stateside to play for Denver. It's hard to know what to expect from Campazzo, an elite passer who seems unlikely to displace Jamal Murray from the starting […]

Drew Eubanks Agrees To Three-Year Deal With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs power forward Drew Eubanks is signing a three-year deal to return to the team. While his 2019-20 numbers weren't great, he played well in the bubble, averaging 7.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in the eight games the Spurs played. He's unlikely to repeat that performance over a full season, but […]

Wesley Matthews Signing With Lakers

Free agent guard Wesley Matthews is signing a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. With Danny Green gone and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope looking at deals elsewhere, Matthews has a chance to play a key role as a reserve 3-and-D wing for this Lakers team. If that translates into fantasy success will depend on […]

Dwayne Bacon Signing With Magic

Free agent small forward Dwayne Bacon has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Orlando Magic, with a team option in the second year. Bacon started 11 of his 39 games last year for the Hornets, averaging 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting just 28.4 percent from three. Bacon is […]

Mason Plumlee Agrees To Deal With Pistons

Free agent center Mason Plumlee has agreed to a three-year, $25 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. The move seems to indicate that Christian Wood will leave Detroit in free agency, as Plumlee's addition doesn't make much sense otherwise. Detroit also acquired Dewayne Dedmon this week, giving them a new-look frontcourt. Plumlee averaged 7.2 points […]

Enes Kanter Traded To Portland

Center Enes Kanter has been traded to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a three-team deal that sends a future first to the Celtics and Mario Hezonja to Memphis. Kanter looks to be the backup to Jusuf Nurkic. A good offensive player, Kanter will likely see a dip in his minutes this season, making […]

NBA Draft: Five Rookies Most Likely To Struggle In 2020-21

The 2020 NBA Draft was Wednesday night, and while this fast-paced week of NBA action probably has you thinking about free agency already, let's not forget about how the draft will impact fantasy basketball this season. Every year, rookies come in and create an immediate impact, but you probably know who to target if that's […]

Klay Thompson Has Torn Achilles

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson suffered a torn Achilles on Wednesday and will miss the entire 2020-21 NBA season. It's a huge setback for Thompson, who missed all of last season due to a torn ACL. Achilles injuries are particularly devastating for basketball players and it's likely we've seen the last of Thompson as […]

2020 NBA Draft Winners and Losers - Instant Analysis

Last night's NBA Draft is the mid-point in a wild week of offseason action for the NBA. In a draft without a clear first pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose to go with Georgia's Anthony Edwards. Golden State -- who may have lost Klay Thompson for the year with an Achilles injury on Wednesday -- took […]

Suns Draft Jalen Smith At 10th Overall

With the 10th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns have drafted Maryland big Jalen Smith. Perhaps the most surprising pick so far of this draft, Smith wasn't projected to be a lottery pick. While he averaged 15.5 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 36.8 percent from three last season, Smith's lack of […]

Deni Avdija Drafted At No. 9 By Wizards

With the ninth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards have drafted Israeli forward Deni Avdija. A talented young player for Maccabi Tel Aviv, Avdija has good size and playmaking ability. He's also potentially the worst shooting wing in this draft if we base things on his free throw shooting, as he shot […]

Knicks Take Obi Toppin At Eighth Overall

The New York Knicks have used the eighth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft on Dayton big Obi Toppin. The 22-year-old is on the older end of this draft class but is incredibly athletic and explosive. He averaged 20 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game last season for the Flyers. His offensive ability […]

Killian Hayes Goes To Pistons At Seventh Overall

The Detroit Pistons have drafted point guard Killian Hayes with the seventh pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Hayes spent his formative basketball years playing in France, and last year in 33 games for Ratiopharm Ulm, he averaged 11.6 points and 5.4 assists per game. He's a great playmaker when the ball is in his […]

Hawks Draft Onyeka Okongwu At Six Overall

With the sixth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks have selected USC big Onyeka Okongwu. It was revealed on Wednesday that Okongwu had a fractured toe, which led to concerns he would slide down in the draft, but the Hawks are betting on his talent. A physical center who can defend multiple […]

Cavaliers Use Fifth Overall Pick On Isaac Okoro

With the fifth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Auburn forward Isaac Okoro. Okoro averaged 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 blocks, and 0.9 steals in his lone season with the Tigers. Okoro seems to have elite feel for the game, and his ability to defend multiple positions should mean he'll […]

Bulls Draft Patrick Williams With Fourth Overall Pick

With the fourth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls have selected Florida State forward Patrick Williams. Williams averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game last season for the Seminoles, but those numbers were negatively impacted by his role as a bench player at FSU. A strong defender with a great feel […]

Hornets Draft LaMelo Ball At Third Overall

With the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets have selected guard LaMelo Ball, who spent last season in the NBL playing for the Illawarra Hawks. In 12 games, Ball averaged 17 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. A familiar name long before this year, Ball -- whose brother Lonzo […]

Warriors Use Second Overall Pick On James Wiseman

The Golden State Warriors have used the No. 2 overall pick on Memphis center James Wiseman. Arguably the most contentious player on NBA Twitter in the lead up to the draft, Wiseman is a strong finisher at the basket and has a chance to be an elite back-to-the-basket center. Of course, the NBA has moved […]

Timberwolves Use First Pick On Anthony Edwards

With the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Georgia guard Anthony Edwards. A physical shooting guard, there are valid concerns about his shotmaking, as he connected on just 29.4 percent of his three-point attempts in his lone college season. Still, Edwards averaged 19.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

The NFL season keeps on chugging along. How many of you expected Marquez Valdes-Scantling to lead all receivers on Sunday in fantasy points? We're in the stretch run of the regular season now for fantasy managers. Wins become very important. Teams fall out of contention. If you're going to make a title push, it can't […]

Fantasy Impact: Making Sense Of Monday's Flurry Of NBA Trades

The NBA allowed trading to begin on Monday, and by the end of the night, the Milwaukee Bucks had reshaped their entire team, while the Rockets looked poised to begin a long rebuild. With the NBA draft and the start of free agency on the horizon, let's try to make sense of what all of […]

James Harden Trade Rumors Swirl

Former MVP guard James Harden's future with the Houston Rockets looks increasingly in doubt. Harden reportedly turned down a contract extension from the team and has made it clear to management that he wants to play for the Brooklyn Nets. Nothing is imminent and Harden being under contract still for multiple seasons means Houston's hand […]

Robert Covington Traded To Portland

The Houston Rockets may be starting a rebuild, as they traded forward Robert Covington to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday for Trevor Ariza and a pair of first-round picks. Covington is one of the NBA's best three-and-D players and projects to immediately move into the starting lineup for Portland, where he'll provide strong numbers […]

Eric Bledsoe, George Hill Shipped To New Orleans

The Milwaukee Bucks have traded guards Eric Bledsoe and George Hill to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jrue Holiday. Bledsoe had been starting at point guard for the Bucks, but is likely to slot in as the two beside Lonzo Ball in New Orleans, something that could impact his value. However, if that move is […]

Jrue Holiday Traded To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks made a huge splash addition on Monday, trading for guard Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans gets Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three future first-round picks in the deal. The upgrade from Bledsoe to Holiday should do wonders for the Bucks when it comes to competing on both ends […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Traded To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks are going all in. On Monday, they acquired forward/guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova, and D.J. Wilson. Bogdanovic will likely slot in as the starter at the two this season in a revamped Bucks lineup that will also now feature Jrue Holiday. Bogdanovic's counting […]

Ricky Rubio Traded To Thunder

The Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder have completed a trade that sends guard Ricky Rubio to the Thunder as part of a package deal that also sends guard Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns. Rubio averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game last season in Phoenix, but he's likely to share playmaking […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To OKC

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a package that sends Chris Paul to the Suns. Oubre averaged a career-high 18.7 points per game last season along with 6.4 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from three. He should maintain a sizable role on a Thunder […]

Chris Paul Traded To Phoenix

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that also sends Abdel Nader to Phoenix while sending Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, and other pieces back to OKC. Paul will form a potentially elite backcourt with Devin Booker in what should be a strong Phoenix offense. Paul may […]
