Dennis Schroder (PG, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 120 ANALYSIS: Dennis Schroder might have thought of Chris Paul as a threat to his playing time and outcomes when CP3 came to OKC last season, but the reality was far from that. Playing off the pine, Schroder thrived leading a second Thunder unit he was tasked […]

The Grass Is Greener: NBA Free Agency Risers for Fantasy Basketball

Free agency in the NBA is the wildest free agency in sports, which means that a ton of players have switched teams this year.

LeBron James Staying With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $85 million extension with the team. He only had one more guaranteed year left on his deal, but this extension will now keep him under contract through the 2022-23 season. Both James and Anthony Davis are locked into long-term deals with the Lakers. The […]

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 […]

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 […]

Avery Bradley Signing With Heat

Free agent guard Avery Bradley has agreed to a two-year, $11.6 million deal with the Miami Heat. Bradley started 44 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 24.2 minutes per game and posting averages of 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Bradley's role with the Heat is unclear, as they just re-signed […]

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 […]

JaVale McGee Picks Up Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee has decided to accept his $4.2 million player option for next season. He started 68 games during the regular season, but was kept on the bench for most of the postseason. McGee is expected to have a similar role on the Lakers this season, but that depends on who […]

Avery Bradley Expected To Test Free Agency

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has reportedly declined his $5 million player option for next season. It's unclear why he did this, but he probably won't get a higher offer elsewhere. Possibly, Bradley is looking for a longer deal or more playing time on a different organization. He can be a solid role player […]

Danny Green Traded To Philadelphia

Guard Danny Green will be heading to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward/center Al Horford. The veteran sharpshooter has now been traded twice over the last few days, previously being dealt from the Lakers to Oklahoma City for guard Dennis Schroder. In Green's lone season in Los Angeles, he averaged eight points, 3.3 boards, […]

Anthony Davis Declines Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis has declined his $28.7 million player option for next season. Lakers fans shouldn't be worried since this was expected all along. Davis is fully expected to be back in a Lakers uniform next season. The full details about his deal have not been worked out, but it'd be shocking […]

Fantasy Basketball Fallers - 2019-2020 Season Review

It's NBA Draft Week! While there is a ton of hype about the incoming rookies (check out all of our NBA Draft analysis here) we still need to take some time to reflect on the 2019-2020 season. We have the shortest NBA offseason EVER this year and it's already time to do some evaluation of […]

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 […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Declines Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has decided to decline his $8.5 million player option. This doesn't come as shocking news after the Lakers acquired guard Dennis Schroder. Caldwell-Pope obviously wants a bigger role on a team and should have plenty of suitors. He's a decent defender and usually a reliable shooter from beyond the […]

Avery Bradley Considering Declining His Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has switched agents and mentioned he is considering declining his player option. The deal is worth $5 million, so it's tough to imagine Bradley getting much more than that in free agency. Possibly, Bradley wants a change of scenery or a bigger role elsewhere. He won't have much fantasy […]

Lakers Showing Interest In Serge Ibaka

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka should have plenty of suitors when he hits free agency this offseason. However, the Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly offered Ibaka a chance to win a championship. Sadly, due to financial restraints they can't offer Ibaka a sizable contract. He is coming off a career-high season with 15.4 points, 8.2 […]

Clippers Showing Interest In Rajon Rondo

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. It sounds like the rival Los Angeles Clippers are expected to show interest in the veteran guard. Reggie Jackson is set to be a free agent and Rondo would be a huge upgrade over him. Patrick Beverley […]

Anthony Davis Should Play In Game 6

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (heel) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 6 contest against the Miami Heat. However, Davis mentioned on Saturday that he'd be fine for Sunday's contest.

Danny Green Limited During Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green (hip) was limited during the Game 2 victory over the Miami Heat. He took a hard fall during the second quarter and appeared to have injured his hip. J.R.
