    • Pistons decline Evan Fournier’s team option
      The Pistons will not pick up Evan Fournier’s $19 million team option.

      Advice: Fournier was completely out of the rotation with the Knicks last season, but he ended up playing a decent-sized role for Detroit after the trade deadline. However, there was no chance that they were going to pay him $19 million next season. He’ll have a chance to start fresh, but it’s unlikely that he is relevant in fantasy hoops next season.

    • E.J. Liddell included in Dejounte Murray deal
      E.J. Liddell has been traded to the Hawks as part of the Dejounte Murray deal.

      Advice: Liddell was a throw-in from the Pelicans after playing eight games in two years for them. He still has some upside, but it is unlikely that he is part of Atlanta’s rotation next season. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
       
    • Traded to Atlanta
      Liddell has been dealt to the Hawks along with Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels and two first-round picks in exchange for Dejounte Murray, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

      Advice: Liddell was not part of the Pelicans' rotation during his rookie season, as he averaged just 0.5 points and 0.6 rebounds across 2.9 minutes in eight appearances. He will now compete for a roster spot as a depth front court option in Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 5:06 pm
       
    • Team declines option
      The Pistons have declined to pick up Fournier's $19 million team option, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: This was the expected move, as Fournier was not expected to be a part of Pistons' future plans at his price tag. The veteran wing was on the outside looking in on the Knicks' rotation last season before being dealt to Detroit prior to the deadline. He then averaged 7.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 triples across 18.7 minutes in 29 games with the team. It remains to be seen what type of opportunities will come his way in free agency. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm
       
    • Dealt to Atlanta
      Daniels, Larry Nance and two first-round picks were traded from the Pelicans to the Hawks for Dejounte Murray, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: As expected, the Hawks have dealt one of their two backcourt starters, now shifting to a younger look after drafting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It's easy to forget Daniels was selected with the No. 8 pick in 2022, as he struggled to find consistent minutes due to injury and an influx of win-now talent on New Orleans' roster. Daniels, at 6-foot-7, 199 pounds, is a versatile on-ball defender who can disrupt players across the board. On offense, he's shown playmaking upside, but he struggles shooting the ball. It's not a perfect fit next to Trae Young, but it's the right player to take a chance on during a soft rebuild. Rotowire.com Today, 4:00 pm
       
    • Shipped to Atlanta
      The Pelicans traded Nance, Dyson Daniels and two first-round picks to the Hawks in exchange for Dejounte Murray on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Nance averaged 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes across 61 bench appearances for the Pelicans in 2023-24. His role in Atlanta is unclear, as Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu will likely both feature ahead of him in the frontcourt rotation. Regardless, Nance has displayed versatility on the defensive end as well as an improved outside shot, converting 41.5 percent of 1.1 three-point attempts per contest last season.

    • Dyson Daniels shipped to Hawks for Dejounte Murray
      Dyson Daniels has been traded to the Hawks as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans.

      Advice: Daniels was never able to carve out a large role for the Pelicans during his two seasons with the team, and now he will get a fresh start with Atlanta. He will likely fill out as one of the backup guards behind Trae Young, alongside Kobe Bufkin. He has a lot of room for growth, but in the short-term, he will provide solid defense off the bench. His departure will allow Jose Alvarado to fully take the reins as the backup point guard behind Dejounte Murray, though CJ McCollum will likely soak up some of those minutes as well.

    • Larry Nance Jr. sent to Atlanta in Dejounte deal
      Larry Nance Jr. has been sent to the Hawks in the deal that brings Dejounte Murray to New Orleans.

      Advice: Nance has been a versatile big man throughout his career, and he will likely be a reserve for the Hawks. Clint Capela was already expected to be moved, and now it feels like a guarantee. That means that Onyeka Okongwu should become a full-time starter, with Nance filling out behind him. Yves Missi is now the only center option in New Orleans and could become one of the best fantasy rookies if they don’t re-sign Jonas Valanciunas. Rotoworld Today, 3:52 pm
       
    • Will be unrestricted free agent
      The Hornets are declining Thor's fourth-year player option on Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

      Advice: Thor spent the last three seasons in Charlotte. He averaged 3.2 points and rebounds in 12.4 minutes across 63 appearances (three starts) in 2023-24. The 21-year-old forward will test the open market in free agency, but it's unclear what type of attention he'll draw. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
