Mets Making Serious Push For James McCann

The New York Mets are in active talks with free-agent catcher James McCann and are making a serious push for him, according to league sources. A deal isn't close yet, but it's looking likely that he'll receive a four-year deal. If New York lands McCann, it could signal that they are going after other top […]

Thomas Bryant Could Have Breakout Campaign

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) mentioned that his health was the main factor to his improved play inside the bubble last season. He missed a ton of time last season due to a stress reaction in his right foot. It was something that was very painful for him to play through and it impacted Bryant's […]

Warriors Will Be Cautious With James Wiseman

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman probably won't have the type of impact that fans are hoping for during his rookie season. Head coach Steve Kerr hinted that the organization plans to bring Wiseman along slowly. He played in just three college games, so the team doesn't want to do too much with him too […]

Anthony Davis Agrees To Extension With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis has reportedly agreed to a five-year, $190 million maximum extension with the organization. Davis was the best free agent available, but no one actually expected him to leave the Lakers. The contract includes an early termination option ahead of the 2024-25 season. This gives Davis a chance to opt […]

Fantasy Impact: The Hawks' Active Free Agency

One of the busiest teams this offseason was the Atlanta Hawks, much to the surprise of a lot of folks around the NBA. After finishing 20-47 (second-fewest wins in the East) and failing to get an invite to the bubble this summer, the Hawks decided to make a splash in free agency and bring in […]

Yankees To Tender Gary Sanchez

The New York Yankees plan to tender a contract to catcher Gary Sanchez on Wednesday, according to sources. Sanchez was replaced by Kyle Higashioka as the team's primary catcher in the playoffs after he hit just .147 with 10 home runs and 24 RBI in the regular season. The two-time All-Star went 1-for-8 with a […]

Clippers Waive Joakim Noah

Los Angeles Clippers center Joakim Noah has been waived by the organization. The veteran center is expected to retire from basketball after 13 seasons in the league. He made two All-Star teams and was a defensive star during his prime. Sadly, injuries took a toll on him towards the end of his career. There wasn't […]

Dwight Powell Ready For Practice

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (Achilles) is set to be a full go once practice begins on Friday. He tore his Achilles in January, so he has been given roughly a year to recover. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will be sidelined to begin the year, so that means Powell should have increased value. It's unclear how […]

James McCann Receiving Plenty Of Interest

Free-agent catcher James McCann has received interest from the New York Yankees, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox. The Philadelphia Phillies are also believed to be interest if they lose J.T. Realmuto. McCann had a 144 OPS+ last season and has slashed .276/.334/.474 with 25 home runs and […]

Several Teams Interested In Yadier Molina

Free-agent catcher Yadier Molina said that several teams have expressed interest in signing him this offseason, including the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets and New York Yankees. Molina is looking for a two-year deal with a contending team and isn't focused on the money aspect. At this point in his career, […]

Mets Aiming To Be Aggressive This Offseason

The New York Mets aim to be aggressive for the best available players this offseason. One source said that it's true that the Mets are targeting more than just one of the big four -- outfielder George Springer, catcher J.T. Realmuto, starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor. There has been speculation that […]

Aron Baynes Signing With Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are signing center Aron Baynes to a two-year, $14.3 million contract. Baynes will replace Marc Gasol, who departs for the Lakers. In Phoenix last season, the 6'10'' big man averaged 11.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest. He took a career-high four three-pointers per game, shooting 35.1 percent on them. He should […]

Raptors Re-Sign Chris Boucher

The Toronto Raptors have re-signed center Chris Boucher to a two-year, $13.5 million deal. With Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol gone, Boucher will be expected to step into a larger role this season. In 62 games last year, Boucher averaged just 13.2 minutes per game, so take his 6.6 points and 4.5 boards per contest […]

Ed Davis Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded for big man Ed Davis, sending Omari Spellman and Jacob Evans to the Knicks. Davis reunites with former Nets teammate D'Angelo Russell. Davis is a hard-nosed player who'll provide useful defense and can set screens for the offense, but his projected role won't be on that's conducive to fantasy basketball […]

Marc Gasol Signing With Lakers

Free agent center Marc Gasol is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. also traded away JaVale McGee on Sunday, paving the way for Gasol to start at the five for the Lakers. He's a huge addition to this team when it comes to real life, where he might make them the […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Staying In Dallas

Center Willie Cauley-Stein is re-signing with the Dallas Mavericks, agreeing to a two-year, $8.2 million deal with the team. Acquired via trade in January, WCS played 13 games in Dallas, averaging 12.1 minutes per contest. He averaged 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. A talented player who could produce deep-league fantasy value as a […]

Harry Giles Signing With Trail Blazers

Free agent center Harry Giles is signing a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. Giles never really found his footing in Sacramento, though he did start 17 games for the Kings last season. He averaged 6.9 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor. This is a good depth […]

Serge Ibaka Signing With Clippers

Free agent big Serge Ibaka has agreed to a two-year, $19 million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Ostensibly the replacement for last year's Sixth Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell, who signed with the Lakers this week, Ibaka provides a solid upgrade at the four and five for the Clips. Likely to earn a […]

Tristan Thompson Signing With Celtics

Free agent big man Tristan Thompson has agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Boston Celtics, where he'll likely slide into the bench role that Enes Kanter held last season. Thompson is coming off of his worst shooting season since 2013-14, but he still connected on 51.2 percent of his shots and occasionally […]

Bucks Signing Bobby Portis

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly signing center/power forward Bobby Portis to a two-year contract. Portis played 66 games for the Knicks last season, averaging 10.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 35.8 percent from three. He'll bring some needed toughness to this frontcourt. Portis will likely come off the bench like he did […]

Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft - ADP Surprises

Of course, there are many changes to be made throughout the offseason. It feels as if the dust is still settling on the 2020 World Series yet baseball fans are more ready for the upcoming season than ever. We have no idea whether a full schedule can be played, what games will look like, and […]

Robin Lopez Agrees To Deal With Wizards

Free agent center Robin Lopez has agreed to terms on a deal with the Washington Wizards. Lopez played 66 games for the Milwaukee Bucks last year, where he mostly backed up brother Brook Lopez. RoLo posted numbers that were a sharp decrease from his recent seasons, including averaging 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest. […]

Jakob Poeltl Re-Signs With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has re-signed with the team on a three-year, $27 million contract. Poeltl played in 66 games for the Spurs last year, starting 18 of them and averaging 5.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He shot 62.4 percent. There are still a few questions to answer about […]

Steven Adams Traded To Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired center Steven Adams from Oklahoma City as part of a complicated, multi-team deal. Provided nothing happens to disrupt the deal, Adams will be the starting center in Oklahoma City since they let Derrick Favors leave for Utah. Adams should see his minutes rise back into the 30-plus per game […]

Montrezl Harrell Agrees To Deal With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers and free agent center Montrezl Harrell have agreed to terms on a two-year deal that sees Harrell move from one Los Angeles team to the other. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Harrell's defensive liabilities make this seem like a curious move for the Lakers in some ways, but he […]

Dwight Howard To Sign One-Year Deal With Sixers

Free agent center Dwight Howard is signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he'll serve as Joel Embiid's backup. Howard's no longer an elite center, but his skillset still works really well as a bench big. He's more valuable in real life than fantasy at this point, but his rebounding and finishing at […]

Jahlil Okafor Signing With Pistons

The Detroit Pistons added their fifth big of the offseason on Friday, agreeing to a two-year deal with free agent center Jahlil Okafor. This follows the drafting of Isaiah Stewart, signing of Mason Plumlee, and trades for Dewayne Dedmon and Tony Bradley. That's...a lot. Okafor averaged 8.1 points and 4.2 boards per game for New […]

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 […]

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 […]
