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.

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 […]
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.

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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Clippers Want Reggie Jackson To Return
Free Agent guard Reggie Jackson will draw plenty of interest from multiple clubs heading into the season. However, Clippers president of basketball operations, Lawrence Frank, recently indicated that the team would like to bring him back. Jackson had bouts of efficiency during the regular season, but after Kawhi Leonard (knee) was injured, he picked things […]
Sixers Draft Jaden Springer
With the 28th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Phladelphia 76ers have selected Tennessee guard Jaden Springer. Last season, Springer averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 43.5 prcent from three. He'll provide the Sixers with some useful bench scoring, but it's really hard to know what […]
Nuggets Draft Bones Hyland
With the 26th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets have drafted VCU guard Bones Hyland. The Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, Hyland is a great scorer who can hit the three but can also score inside. There are concerns about his strength, but Denver is a great landing spot for Hyland, who'll […]
Wizards Draft Isaiah Jackson, Trade Him For Aaron Holiday
With the 22nd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Kentucky center Isaiah Jackson, then traded Jackson to the Indiana Pacers for guard Aaron Holiday. It's a weird trade for the Wizards, who acquire a player who averaged 7.2 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game last year for the Pacers. […]
Thunder Take Tre Mann With 18th Pick
With the 18th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder have selected Florida guard Tre Mann. This might have been a bit of a reach, but Mann shot 40.2 percent from three last year while averaging 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game, as well as adding 1.4 steals per […]
Kings Take Davion Mitchell At Pick 9
With the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings have selected Baylor guard Davion Mitchell. The 22-year-old is a bit of a risk because of his age, but he was incredibly productive for the Bears last year, averaging 14.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. Arguably the […]
Josh Giddey Taken By OKC At No. 6
The Oklahoma State Thunder selected guard Josh Giddey with the No. 6 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft on Thursday evening. A solid ball-handler with good size, the 18-year-old has plenty of potential. Although fantasy managers may not see it immediately, considering OKC is currently in the midst of a rebuild, he is worth a […]
Magic Take Jalen Suggs At Pick 5
With the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic have selected Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs. A surprising pick because virtually everyone expected Suggs to be taken by the Raptors with the fourth pick, the Magic get a potentially elite guard who some analysts had ranked as high as second on their […]

Cade Cunningham Picked First Overall
The Detroit Pistons have done what's been expected for weeks: drafted Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. A potential generational player, Cunningham is able to do essentially everything on the basketball court. Last season for the Cowboys, Cunningham averaged 20.1 points per game on 43.8 percent […]
Landry Shamet Landing In Phoenix
The Brooklyn Nets are sending guard Landry Shamet to Phoenix in exchange for Jevon Carter and the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Lakers Nearing Trade For Russell Westbrook
The Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards are reportedly deep in talks to send Wizards guard Russell Westbrook to the Lakers for a package that would include Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and a first round pick.

Ricky Rubio Traded To Cleveland
Minnesota has traded guard Ricky Rubio to Cleveland. In return, the Timberwolves will acquire Taurean Prince. The Cavaliers will also get a 2022 second-round draft pick and some cash, and it will move Rubio to his fourth team in five years.

Ben Simmons Commanding A High Return
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons remains on the trade block heading into the 2021-22 season, although his current employer is commanding a hefty return, including multiple first-round draft picks. The 25-year-old has been a solid producer in many statistical categories since he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. However, […]
Kyle Lowry Creating Plenty Of Buzz
Free-agent guard Kyle Lowry is drawing plenty of interest ahead of the 2021-22 NBA campaign. The 35-year-old averaged 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, and shot nearly 40 percent from deep last year. Although injuries have plagued the veteran, he remains a desired option for teams looking to fill a void at the position, specifically the Lakers, […]
Bryn Forbes Declines Player Option
Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryan Forbes declined his player option on Tuesday, making him a free agent. Forbes was relegated to a bench role during his first year with the club, finishing the season by averaging 10 points while shooting 45 percent from deep.

Eric Bledsoe Heading To Memphis
The Pelicans plan to trade guard Eric Bledsoe and center Steven Adams to Memphis in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas.

Buddy Hield Could Be On The Move
Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield could be on the move. Hield has been the subject of trade discussions and has recently been linked to the Sixers and Lakers as potential destinations.

Russell Westbrook Heading West?
Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook could be on the move, with the triple-double king recently linked to the Lakers. As L.A. looks to win another title, the franchise has a massive hole at the point guard position, a void that Westbrook could convincingly fill. With the Wizards looking toward the future, a deal involving Dennis […]
