Mouhamadou Gueye Traded to Minnesota and Set to be Waived
Chicago Bulls center Mouhamadou Gueye is headed to Minnesota in a trade and is expected to be waived, per Jake Fischer and Dane Moore. The move completes the three-team deal that sent Julius Randle to Brooklyn, with Gueye's non-guaranteed 2026-27 salary serving as the final piece of the math. The journeyman forward latched on with Chicago late in the season and played just two games, posting 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in those cameos after a productive G League season. Once he clears waivers, Gueye will become a free agent with no fantasy value, likely ticketed for another two-way or G League stop.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Traded to the Heat in a Blockbuster Deal
Giannis Antetokounmpo is joining the Miami Heat in a blockbuster trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Milwaukee is sending Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and a haul of three first-round picks, a swap, and a second-rounder. The two-time MVP pairs with Bam Adebayo to form one of the NBA's best frontcourts and stays a top-tier fantasy option, though his 36-game season last year is a durability flag. The bigger fantasy news sits in Milwaukee, where a rebuild hands Herro the offense as the clear No. 1 option after he topped 20 points a game in each of the past five seasons. Ware also stands to start at center, lifting his rebounding and shot-blocking value, while Jaquez Jr. should see steadier minutes.

Ayo Dosunmu Re-Signs with Timberwolves on Five-Year Deal
The Minnesota Timberwolves are bringing back guard Ayo Dosunmu on a reported five-year, $112 million deal that includes a player option in the fifth year, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Re-signing Dosunmu was a top priority for Minnesota, which cleared salary by trading Julius Randle to Brooklyn. The deadline acquisition broke out after arriving from Chicago, averaging 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists on 52.1 percent shooting in 24 games before a strong postseason that included a 43-point game against Denver. Dosunmu is an efficient two-way guard whose value climbs with Donte DiVincenzo recovering from an Achilles injury and facing a lengthy absence. That opens a path to heavy minutes next to Anthony Edwards, making Dosunmu a useful source of points, threes, assists, and steals with strong percentages.

Mohamed Diawara Plans to Re-Sign with Knicks
New York Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara plans to re-sign on a multiyear deal worth more than $10 million, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Diawara made the title team as a 2025 second-rounder on a standard deal but played a limited role, averaging 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 9.2 minutes across 69 games. He saw only limited playoff action, and his production remained modest, though his 37 percent shooting from deep hinted at long-term 3-and-D upside for the 21-year-old French forward. On a stacked New York roster, Diawara carries no fantasy weight right now. His re-signing is a low-cost developmental bet, not a move that shifts any rotation outlook.

Nicolas Claxton Traded to Bulls in Three-Team Deal
The Chicago Bulls are adding center Nicolas Claxton in a three-team trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Brooklyn is routing Claxton to Chicago in the same deal that sends Julius Randle from Minnesota to the Nets. The 27-year-old is a mobile, switchable defensive anchor who averaged 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, a career-high 3.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting last season. His scoring stays modest, but the blocks, rebounding, and strong field-goal percentage carry real fantasy value if he locks down a starting role in Chicago. Claxton's improved passing, which produced two triple-doubles in Brooklyn, adds a sneaky assist source for a center. Just watch where he slots in the Bulls' frontcourt before counting on a full workload.

Julius Randle Heads to Brooklyn in Three-Team Trade
Julius Randle is headed to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team trade, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Minnesota is sending Randle and the No. 28 pick to Brooklyn while moving down for the Nets' No. 33 selection, a cost-cutting move that could open more frontcourt usage for Naz Reid. The three-time All-Star averaged 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists last season, though his playoff production reportedly dipped during a rough second-round series against San Antonio. On a rebuilding Nets team short on established scorers, Randle would step in as a clear focal point, the kind of high-usage role that should keep his counting stats strong. He profiles as a steady fantasy contributor across points, rebounds and assists, with Brooklyn's volume potentially giving his numbers a higher floor than he had in Minnesota.

Trae Young Agrees to Massive Extension with Wizards
Washington Wizards guard Trae Young intends to sign a massive four-year, $212 million deal to stay with the organization. According to Shams Charania, Young will get a four-year deal with a player option in the final year of the deal. Young recently declined a $49 million player option for a long-term deal in free agency. The Wizards didn't want to risk losing Young and gave him a hefty extension to stick around in Washington. Young was acquired by the Wizards mid-season and only played five games with the organization before being shut down for the rest of the year. Despite barely playing for the team, the Wizards view Young as a key piece of their future. Now, the Wizards have Young locked up to play alongside Alexander Sarr and whoever the team decides to draft with the first overall pick on Tuesday night.

Keaton Wagler Confident He'll be Selected in Top Five
Illinois guard Keaton Wagler recently dropped out of a workout with the Brooklyn Nets. Wagler met with the organization, but decided not to work out for the organization because he believes he'll be drafted before they come up in the draft. The rookie guard is confident that he'll be selected in the top 5 during Tuesday's NBA Draft. The speculation is that the Los Angeles Clippers will take Wagler with the fifth overall pick. There are also rumors that the Chicago Bulls could be interested in taking Wagler, but they've also been tied to Caleb Wilson at No. 4. This past season, Wagler finished with 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists during his lone season with Illinois. We'll see on Tuesday night if his stock is really as high as Wagler believes it is.

Kings Host Workouts for Darius Acuff Jr., Kingston Flemings
The Sacramento Kings have reportedly hosted a workout for both point guards Darius Acuff Jr. and Kingston Flemings. The two rookies reportedly worked out for the organization roughly two weeks ago. They were individual workouts, and both players met with the organization. The Kings currently hold the seventh overall selection in Tuesday's NBA Draft. The Kings are seeking a cornerstone guard to run the offense, which could potentially be Acuff, assuming he falls to them. Flemings isn't a bad pick either, but is projected lower than Acuff in most mock drafts. The expectation is that the Kings are going to select one of the two guards during Tuesday's draft.

Darryn Peterson Meets With Jazz
The Utah Jazz reportedly met with Kansas guard Darryn Peterson over the weekend, according to Jake Fischer. It sounds like everything went well, but Peterson declined to answer whether it was in-person or not. The assumption is that the Jazz plan on taking Peterson with the second overall selection during Tuesday's NBA Draft. This past season, Peterson averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 29.1 minutes in 24 contests this past season. The expectation is that the Washington Wizards will select BYU forward AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick. They could potentially draft Peterson, which could likely mean the Jazz would select Dybantsa. At the moment, the consensus is that Peterson will go second overall to the Jazz.

Dusty May Hired as Mavericks Head Coach
The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Dusty May as the team's next head coach, according to Shams Charania. May has been widely successful as a college coach the last few seasons. He took Florida Atlantic University to the Final Four in 2023. He went to Michigan in 2024 and rebuilt its program. He won a National Title with Michigan this past season, including Coach of the Year honors. May is one of the rare occasions that a college coach moves straight into the NBA. Given his past success, May appears ready to make the next step to the professional level. He'll have a decent core with Cooper Flagg as the cornerstone, and Kyrie Irving is expected to be fully healthy this upcoming season.

Boston Gains Momentum in Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Pursuit
The Boston Celtics have a "real shot" at landing Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo in a deal built around Jaylen Brown, NBA insider Marc Stein reports. A league source told Stein that Boston gained momentum over the weekend, with Milwaukee weighing whether a direct framework could work and Miami still in the mix ahead of Tuesday's draft. Brown, the 2024 Finals MVP, would be the centerpiece, and Milwaukee is believed to be seeking significant draft compensation, potentially including up to three first-round picks and young wing Hugo Gonzalez. The fantasy ripple cuts both ways. Brown carried Boston to an All-NBA season while Jayson Tatum recovered, so a move to a Giannis-less Milwaukee would hand him the offense and a likely usage spike. Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, stays a top-tier fantasy asset anywhere, and slotting next to Tatum and Derrick White would reshape Boston's touch hierarchy.

Kenrich Williams Could Hit Free Agency as Thunder Weigh His Option
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams could draw interest from several teams if he reaches free agency this summer, OKC Thunder Wire's Clemente Almanza writes. The longtime Thunder reserve has slid down a loaded depth chart, averaging 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 56 games while logging fewer than 16 minutes a night. Oklahoma City is trimming costs and already shipped Aaron Wiggins to Atlanta, so declining Williams' $7.2 million option and trying to bring him back cheaper could be on the table. None of this moves the fantasy needle much: Williams is a versatile glue forward buried in OKC's rotation. A discounted return would likely keep his minimal role intact; only a forward-needy landing spot would give him real fantasy relevance.

Cameron Boozer Emerges as a Wizards Wild Card at No. 1 Pick
The Athletic's Zach Harper floated a draft-night curveball: the Wizards taking Duke forward Cameron Boozer at No. 1 over AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson. Harper noted that a D.C. radio appearance framed the debate as Dybantsa versus Boozer rather than Dybantsa versus Peterson, making him wonder if a surprise could be brewing. The reigning national player of the year averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists at Duke as a polished stretch forward. Harper's logic is that pairing Boozer with Alexandre Sarr and Anthony Davis could help mask some defensive limitations. The catch for fantasy managers is that same frontcourt: Sarr and Davis would compete with Boozer for early minutes and rebounds. Davis' long injury history leaves a real opening, and Boozer's talent makes him a long-term fantasy cornerstone wherever he lands.

Aaron Wiggins Traded to Hawks for Two Second-Round Picks
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard/forward Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two future second-round picks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The move trims Oklahoma City's luxury-tax bill and clears money from a deep roster that had squeezed Wiggins' role. Wiggins flashed real value on the 2024-25 title team, averaging a career-high 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds, but his scoring dipped to 9.4 points in 2025-26 as Oklahoma City's perimeter depth grew. Atlanta offers a change of scenery, though the path to minutes is murky behind a perimeter group that includes CJ McCollum, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, and Corey Kispert. For now, Wiggins is more of a name to monitor than a fantasy option, with his value hinging on whether a wing spot opens up.
