Taj Gibson Returning To Knicks

New York Knicks center/power forward Taj Gibson has agreed to a one-year, $2.7 million deal to return to the Knicks for the 2021-22 season. There's not a ton of fantasy upside, but Gibson did average 5.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season, playing 45 games for the Knicks. He shot 62.7 percent from […]

Fantasy Basketball UDFA Rookie Sleepers

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Fantasy Basketball Second Round Rookie Sleepers

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returning To South Beach

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon will remain in South Beach after agreeing to a one-year deal on Monday evening. Dedmon will stay behind Bam Adebayo on the depth chart, so he doesn't have much fantasy value, even in deeper formats. The 31-year-old averaged 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds throughout 16 games last season and should […]

Richaun Holmes Remaining With The Kings

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes has agreed to a four-year deal worth $55 million to remain with the team. Although he was looking for more, it was apparently enough to keep him from going elsewhere. The 27-year-old averaged 14.2 points, 8.3 boards, and 1.6 blocks throughout 61 games last season. Fantasy managers should be concerned […]

Gorgui Dieng Heading To Atlanta

Center Gorgui Dieng has agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Hawks. The 31-year-old has averaged 7.8 points and 6.0 rebounds through his tenure in the league. However, he isn't expected to contribute much on the fantasy end and will likely stay buried behind Clint Capela on the depth chart in Atlanta. However, […]

Devonte’ Graham Changing Teams

Guard Devonte' Graham agreed to a four-year, $47 million contract with the Pelicans on Monday night. The deal is a sign-and-trade, so it's beneficial for both clubs and Graham, who will now take over for the recently departed Lonzo Ball. The 26-year-old averaged 13.3 points and 5.4 rebounds throughout three seasons in Charlotte, so he […]

Cameron Payne Agrees To Stay In Phoenix

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne agreed on Monday night to remain with the team. The deal is worth $19 million over three years, and it will become official on August 6. The 28-year-old was a critical piece in the club's advancement to the NBA Finals, averaging 9.3 points and 3.2 assists during the postseason. Although […]

Jarrett Allen Comes To Terms On A New Deal

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen agreed to a $100 million contract on Monday night. The deal will keep him with the team for the next five years, although it won't become official until August 6, when the NBA free agency moratorium is over. Allen began last season in Brooklyn and split time with DeAndre Jordan. […]

Blake Griffin Agrees To One-Year Deal With Brooklyn

Forward Blake Griffin agreed to a one-year deal on Monday night to remain in Brooklyn. The multi-time All-Star began the 2020-21 season in Detroit. However, after receiving a buyout, he signed with the Nets, where he averaged 10 points and 4.7 boards throughout 26 regular-season games in the Big Apple. Nonetheless, while health issues have […]

Tomas Satoransky Moving To New Orleans

Guard Tomas Satoransky is heading to the Pelicans after he was included in a deal that sent Lonzo Ball to Chicago. The 29-year-old has a chance to see an uptick in production in New Orleans after he's had flashes of inconsistent efficiency over the years. He averaged 9.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.2 steals throughout […]

Mike Conley Agrees To Return To Utah

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley will remain with the team. The veteran agreed to a $68 million deal on Monday to keep him in Utah for the next three seasons. Conley averaged 16.2 points, 6.0 assists, and 1.4 steals throughout only 51 games last season. Injuries have plagued the 14-year professional over the years, so […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Staying Put

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. will remain with the team after agreeing to a four-year, $72 million contract. The deal will become official on August 6, when the free agency moratorium is over. Hardaway averaged 16.6 points while shooting nearly 39.1 percent from deep last season, and despite his struggles on occasion, the team […]

Will Barton Staying In Denver

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton is staying in the Mile High City. After Barton declined his $14.7 million player option a few weeks ago, the veteran agreed to a two-year, $32 million contract on Monday night. The deal will become official on August 6, when the free agency moratorium ends. The 10-year veteran has been […]

Chris Paul Staying In Phoenix

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is remaining in Arizona. After declining his $44 million player option, the veteran will agree to a four-year deal that could be worth up to $120 million. Although injuries have plagued the 36-year-old over the years, he remains an efficient fantasy option when healthy. He averaged 16.4 points, 8.9 assists […]

Spencer Dinwiddie To Meet With Washington

Free-agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie will meet with the Wizards on Monday. With the Lakers, Bulls, and Heat already locking up its starting point guards, Dinwiddie is running out of options. Brooklyn also holds most of the cards regarding his future, primarily since the team has "Bird Rights," so a sign-and-trade agreement may be his best […]

Kyle Lowry Agrees To Deal With Heat

Kyle Lowry has agreed to terms on a three-year deal (via a sign-and-trade) with the Miami Heat on Monday. Although the signing isn't official, at least not yet, the transaction puts an end to months of speculation regarding his future in the league. Lowry is arguably the greatest player in Raptor's history, and he finished […]

Lonzo Ball Heading To Chicago

The Pelicans and Bulls agreed to a sign-and-trade deal on Monday that will send Lonzo Ball to the Windy City. In return, New Orleans will receive Tomas Satoransky, Garrett Temple, and a second-round draft pick. Ball had to sign a four-year, $85 million contract to make the deal happen, and he will likely see plenty […]

Veteran Losers After the 2021 NBA Draft

We're just a few days removed from the 2021 edition of the NBA Draft. As is always the case, just a couple of picks were virtual locks with the rest of the picks going left and right and handing us more than a few surprises. And that is without even entering the trade realm and […]

NBA Draft: Biggest Surprises

With the 2021 NBA Draft in the books, it’s now time to shift from binging draft speculation articles to binging draft landing spot articles. And I for one am extremely happy and eager for this article to be part of your binging tour. This year’s draft was absolutely loaded at the top, but things got […]

Norvel Pelle Waived By The Knicks

The Knicks waived center Norvel Pelle on Saturday. The 28-year-old has played for four teams during his brief tenure in the league. Although he had flashes of efficiency during some of his sporadic appearances, he will need a consistent role to become relevant on the fantasy end, which isn't likely to come anytime soon. However, […]

Knicks Pick Up Option On Mitchell Robinson

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson had his $1.8 million player option exercised by the team. Robinson, who was selected with the No. 36 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, averaged 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks last season. However, foot and wrist issues limited him to only 31 games. While the 23-year-old isn't […]

Cory Joseph Waived By Pistons

Guard Cory Joseph was waived by the Pistons and is now a free agent. The veteran began the 2020-21 campaign in Sacramento and was ultimately dealt to Detroit, where he played 19 games and averaged 12 points, 5.5 assists, and 1.2 steals. While it's probable Joseph will find work before the season begins in October, […]

Heat Decline Option on Andre Iguodala

Forward Andre Iguodala had his $15 million player option declined by Miami on Sunday, making him a free agent. The 37-year-old has built a reputation for his defensive prowess over the years. However, a reduction in minutes in South Beach significantly lowered what was left of his fantasy season. Nonetheless, he will likely draw interest […]

Pelicans Extend Qualifying Offer To Josh Hart

New Orleans extended a qualifying offer to guard Josh Hart, making him a restricted free agent. The price ranger was around $5.2 million, and it would allow the Pelicans to match offers from other clubs when negotiations begin on August 2. The 26-year-old was one of the most effective options in the league off the […]

Lonzo Ball Receives Qualifying Offer

Free-agent guard Lonzo Ball received a $14.3 million qualifying offer from the Pelicans. This would make him a restricted free agent, allowing New Orleans to potentially match offers from other teams. After being drafted with the No. 2 overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft by Los Angeles, the Lakers moved on from the 23-year-old […]

Josh Richardson Heading To Boston

The Mavericks traded forward Josh Richardson to the Celtics, who also picked up his $11.6 million player option. The 27-year-old averaged only 12.1 points throughout 59 games in Dallas last season, his worst scoring output since the 2016-2017 campaign. Although Richardson may get a substantial role in Boston this year, especially if the team can't […]

Bobby Portis Declines Player Option

Former Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis declined his $3.8 million player option on Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent. The 26-year-old was invaluable while filling in for Giannis Antetokounmpo during his bouts of injury throughout the season and was also instrumental in helping the team capture the NBA Championship. He averaged 8.8 points and […]

Mike Conley On Utah’s Radar

Free-agent guard Mike Conley remains on the Jazz's wish list heading into the regular season. Although the veteran had played well during his time in Utah, a nagging hamstring issue relegated him to 98 games throughout the last two seasons. Brining Conley back is considered a "top priority" for the team, although it may take […]

Thomas Bryant To Miss The Start Of The Season

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (knee) will miss the beginning of the 2021-22 NBA campaign. The 24-year-old suffered a torn left ACL early last season, which was unfortunate considering he was averaging a career-high 14.3 points while shooting nearly 43 percent from deep. However, even when healthy, his days as an everyday fantasy option are […]
