Mavericks Planning To Release J.J. Barea

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea is expected to be released by the organization on Thursday. The 36-year-old guard returned from a torn Achilles last season. He averaged 7.7 points through 29 games with Dallas. It doesn't sound like he was going to have a significant role on this team anyway. The Mavs are expected to […]

John Wall Looks Good During Training Camp

Houston Rockets guard John Wall has reportedly looked good during training camp thus far. Wall hasn't played in roughly two years since suffering a ruptured Achilles. The fact he looks healthy is a great sign heading into the regular season. Although, he'll have to share the ball with James Harden, assuming he shows up at […]

Monte Morris Gets Extension From Nuggets

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract extension with the organization on Monday. Morris has played well over the last few years and is well-deserving of an extension. Gary Harris has a long history with injuries, and Morris has performed well in his absence. Sadly, Morris probably won't […]

Austin Rivers Limited During Practice

New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers (groin) was limited during practice on Monday. He pulled his groin and is currently listed as day-to-day going forward. Rivers has two weeks to recover before the beginning of the regular season. The Knicks have a crowded backcourt, but Rivers should find himself with a significant role. He might […]

Kyrie Irving Unlikely To Play All 72 Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is not expected to play in all 72 games this season, according to head coach Steve Nash. However, there is no plan in place to currently rest Irving or Kevin Durant right now. Irving has missed an average of 24.4 games over the past five seasons. It's not surprising to […]

Coby White To Be Primary Ball-Handler

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is going to be the primary ball-handler for the upcoming season, according to head coach Billy Donovan. This confirms that White will be starting over Tomas Satoransky, which he deserves to do. White could push himself in the top 80-90 range with more ball-handling responsibilities. He won't bring much on […]

John Wall Acquired By Rockets

Washington Wizards guard John Wall has been traded to the Houston Rockets with a 2023 first-round pick in exchange for Russell Westbrook. There was speculation that this trade would eventually happen after both players requested trades from their teams. There are plenty of question marks surrounding Wall for this upcoming season. He hasn't played in […]

Russell Westbrook Heading To Washington

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook has been traded to the Washington Wizards in exchange for John Wall and a first-round pick. There was speculation that Westbrook was going to be traded this offseason. Finally, his trade request comes true and he'll get a chance to play alongside Bradley Beal in Washington. Both players love having […]

Kemba Walker Not Rushing Back To The Court

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) said that he is not going to rush himself back to the court. "There's no rush. There's no rush on my end," Walker said. He continued by saying that last time he came back too quickly, so he's going to be patient this time. It was revealed on Tuesday […]

Jalen Brunson Believes He's 100 Percent Ready

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) says that he is 100 percent ready after recovering this offseason. Brunson suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder in March, but it sounds like he's ready to get back on the court. It's difficult to imagine him having a huge role on the Mavs this season. The […]

Derrick White Expected To Miss Training Camp

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is not going to be available for the start of training camp. He underwent a minor toe procedure back in August. However, the organization is not concerned about White being unavailable for the start of the 2020-2021 season. He should be ready to go soon and is primed […]

Reggie Jackson Returning To Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson is reportedly returning to the organization on a one-year deal. He is expected to have a similar role to what he had last season with the Clippers. He'll be a spark plug off the bench, but won't have much fantasy value. He averaged 9.5 points, 3.2 assists and 1.5 […]

Austin Rivers Signing With Knicks

Free agent guard Austin Rivers has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks. Joining a team with a logjam at the guard spots is a strange move for a player who many expected would have a stronger market, though his veteran presence could be useful, and it's not like New York's abundance […]

Jeff Teague Signing With Celtics

Free agent point guard Jeff Teague is signing a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics. Considering Teague almost exclusively played the one until his 25 games beside Trae Young in Atlanta last season, we can safely assume he's being brought in as a backup to Kemba Walker and not much else. That's not a role […]

Brad Wanamaker Signing With Warriors

Free agent guard Brad Wanamaker is signing a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Golden State Warriors. Wanamaker has played in the NBA for just two years but is 31 years old, so he probably is what he is at this point, which is a capable backup guard. He averaged 19.3 minutes per game, with […]

Kris Dunn Signing With Hawks

Free agent point guard Kris Dunn is reportedly signing a two-year, $10 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks. Considering Atlanta also signed point guard Rajon Rondo, Atlanta probably sees Dunn as an off-ball option at the two. But with plenty of weapons on the floor for the Hawks, Dunn's unlikely to see the minutes or […]

Rajon Rondo Signing In Atlanta

Point guard Rajon Rondo and the Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal that brings the veteran to back up Trae Young. He'll be a reliable ball-handler for this Hawks team and he's started to remedy his lack of shooting in recent years, but it's hard to see Rondo having a role […]

Elfrid Payton Re-Signing With Knicks

Free agent point guard Elfrid Payton is returning to the Knicks on a one-year, $5 million deal. Payton averaged 10.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game and also added 1.6 steals. His struggles as a shooter can really hurt fantasy managers in some ways, but provided he beats out Dennis Smith Jr. and […]

Fred VanVleet Returning To Raptors

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet was one of the biggest names in this year's free agent class, but it appears that he'll be returning to Toronto on a four-year, $85 million deal. VanVleet put up strong numbers for the Raptors last season, averaging 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. He shot 39 […]

De'Aaron Fox Signing Five-Year Max Extension

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox has agreed to a five-year, $163 million max extension. The promising young guard will be counted on by Sacramento to lead them into the future. It's still not clear if Fox is good enough to be the best player on a contender, but he averaged 21.1 points and 6.8 […]

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 […]

Knicks Waive Elfrid Payton, Taj Gibson

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton and forward Taj Gibson have been waived by the organization. This doesn't come as surprising news since both players were expected to have significant salaries next season. Payton was the best point guard for the Knicks last season, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Gibson is basically a […]

Malachi Flynn Selected 29th Overall By Raptors

San Diego State point guard Malachi Flynn was selected 29th overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2020 NBA Draft. Flynn is a well-rounded point guard with a great motor. He excels in the pick-and-roll. He averaged 17.6 points per game and 5.1 assists per game during his junior season last year. He also hit […]

Celtics Add Payton Pritchard With No. 26 Overall Selection

The Boston Celtics drafted point guard Payton Pritchard out of the University of Oregon with the 26th overall pick out of the 2020 NBA Draft. Having been named a first-team All-American last season, Pritchard averaged 20.5 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game, all while shooting 41.5 percent from three-point range. The addition of […]

Bucks Draft RJ Hampton At No. 24 Overall, Rights Head To Denver

The Milwaukee Bucks have selected point guard RJ Hampton out of Australia with the 24th overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, but Hampton will be heading to Denver as part of the Jrue Holiday trade, with New Orleans further dealing his rights. Hampton had been the No. 5 overall prospect in the 2019 collegiate […]

Tyrese Maxey Drafted 21st Overall By 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers selected University of Kentucky guard Tyrese Maxey 21st overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Maxey played just one year at Kentucky and was a bit inconsistent overall, but showed a clear knack for scoring the rock. He averaged 14 points per game and 3.2 assists per game over the season. The path […]

Cole Anthony Selected At No. 15 By Orlando

The Orlando Magic selected Cole Anthony with the No. 15 pick in the NBA Draft. The 20-year-old, who is the son of NBA legend Greg Anthony, averaged 18.5 points, 5.7 boards, four assists, and 1.3 steals while at the University of North Carolina. His shooting numbers could improve, and his durability is questionable to some […]

Ricky Rubio Traded Back To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a draft-day trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Timberwolves are acquiring Ricky Rubio, who began his career with the team, as well as the 25th and 28th picks in the 2020 draft, in exchange for a package that includes the 17th overall pick this year. Rubio will bring […]

Kings Select Tyrese Haliburton At No. 12

With the No. 12 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Sacramento selected Iowa State guard Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton had a successful college career, averaging 15.2 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.9 rebounds during his sophomore season. Despite his unorthodox shooting mechanics, he still had adequate numbers from the field and from deep. He has the chance […]
