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 […]
Pelicans Select Kira Lewis Jr. 13th Overall
The New Orleans Pelicans drafted point guard Kira Lewis Jr. with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Lewis, who turned 19 years old this past April, spent two years at Alabama before declaring for the draft. He averaged 18.5 points per game, 5.2 assists per game and 1.8 steals per game last […]
Killian Hayes Goes To Pistons At Seventh Overall
The Detroit Pistons have drafted point guard Killian Hayes with the seventh pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Hayes spent his formative basketball years playing in France, and last year in 33 games for Ratiopharm Ulm, he averaged 11.6 points and 5.4 assists per game. He's a great playmaker when the ball is in his […]
Hornets Draft LaMelo Ball At Third Overall
With the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets have selected guard LaMelo Ball, who spent last season in the NBL playing for the Illawarra Hawks. In 12 games, Ball averaged 17 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. A familiar name long before this year, Ball -- whose brother Lonzo […]
Rajon Rondo Expected To Leave Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.6 million player option for next season. The organization has agreed to a trade that lands them guard Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rondo wouldn't have much of a role with the Lakers while Schroder is there. Plenty of organizations should have […]
Kris Dunn Does Not Get Qualifying Offer
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn will head to free agency after the organization decided not to extend a qualifying offer to him. Dunn will be an unrestricted free agent, which means he can sign with any organization he wants to. The Bulls are expected to draft a guard, so Dunn would've been buried on the […]
Shaquille Harrison Heads To Free Agency
Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison will not be returning next season as the organization did not extend a qualifying offer to him. He'll become an unrestricted free agent and should have decent market value. Harrison is a reliable defender, but it's unlikely that he holds fantasy value in basically any formats. The Bulls have too […]
John Wall Will Be Limited Next Season
Washington Wizards guard John Wall (Achilles) will be limited to one game in back-to-back sets for this upcoming season. As of right now, it sounds like Wall is expected to miss at least 14 games. It's his first year back from an Achilles tear that cost sidelined him basically two years. It wouldn't be surprising […]
Eric Bledsoe, George Hill Shipped To New Orleans
The Milwaukee Bucks have traded guards Eric Bledsoe and George Hill to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jrue Holiday. Bledsoe had been starting at point guard for the Bucks, but is likely to slot in as the two beside Lonzo Ball in New Orleans, something that could impact his value. However, if that move is […]
Jrue Holiday Traded To Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks made a huge splash addition on Monday, trading for guard Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans gets Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three future first-round picks in the deal. The upgrade from Bledsoe to Holiday should do wonders for the Bucks when it comes to competing on both ends […]
Ricky Rubio Traded To Thunder
The Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder have completed a trade that sends guard Ricky Rubio to the Thunder as part of a package deal that also sends guard Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns. Rubio averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game last season in Phoenix, but he's likely to share playmaking […]
Chris Paul Traded To Phoenix
The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that also sends Abdel Nader to Phoenix while sending Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, and other pieces back to OKC. Paul will form a potentially elite backcourt with Devin Booker in what should be a strong Phoenix offense. Paul may […]
NBA Trade Moratorium Will End At Noon Monday
It's almost trade season in the NBA. The league's moratorium on trades will be lifted at Noon EST on Monday, paving the way for a flurry of moves ahead of Wednesday's NBA Draft and Friday's opening to free agency. A busy week for the NBA is 24 hours away, and rumored deals like the Thunder […]
Lakers Expected To Trade For Dennis Schroder
When the NBA lifts the trade moratorium on Monday, one of the first moves is expected to be a trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder that would send guard Dennis Schroder to Los Angeles. The Thunder would get the 28th pick in this year's draft plus guard Danny Green. Schroder's fantasy […]
