Shop the Sales: UDFA Who Could Find Quick Success
It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Lonnie Walker IV Limited During Tuesday's Practice
San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (back) was limited to individual work during Tuesday's practice.

Terrence Ross Has Minor Injury
Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (toe) could miss the beginning of the regular season after suffering a minor injury. An MRI revealed a minor, non-displaced, hairline fracture in his left big toe. Ross continues to practice, but is being held out of all contact drills right now. His fantasy value is on the rise this […]

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton was taken as the No. 12 overall pick by the organization during the draft.

Austin Rivers Signing With Knicks
Free agent guard Austin Rivers has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks.

Brown has provided solid bench minutes for the Bucks over the past three seasons, shooting 34.5 percent from three across 164 games with the team.

Zhaire Smith Traded To Detroit
The Detroit Pistons have traded for 76ers shooting guard Zhaire Smith, sending center Tony Bradley back to Philly. Smith's a talented young player who has been injury and illness derail the first two years of his career, as he's played just 13 games in the NBA. A great shooter in college at Texas Tech, the […]
Donovan Mitchell Signing Max Extension
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is signing a five-year max extension to stay with the Jazz. Mitchell is the most important piece on this Jazz team now and moving forward, so locking him up makes sense. There are still plenty of questions surrounding Mitchell and this Jazz squad, but fantasy managers don't need to worry […]
Bryn Forbes Signing With Bucks
Free agent guard Bryn Forbes has agreed to a two-year deal to join the Milwaukee Bucks. Forbes averaged 11.2 points per game last season, as well as 2.3 made threes per game.

Alec Burks Signing With Knicks
So far, the New York Knicks and their cap space haven't made a splashy free agency move.

Burks split last season between Golden State and Philly. In […]
Garrett Temple To Sign With Bulls
Free agent shooting guard Garrett Temple has agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal to sign with the Chicago Bulls.
