    • Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov dealt to Raptors
      ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Kings have traded Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov and the 45th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft for Jalen McDaniels.

      Advice: Vezenkov only logged 12.2 minutes per game as a rookie, but he could see an increase in playing time for the rebuilding Raptors. Mitchell averaged nearly 28 minutes per game as a rookie, but his playing time has declined in each of the last two seasons. Both players were afterthoughts off of Sacramento’s bench, but they may see new opportunities in Toronto. Neither player, however, is worth drafting in 12-team fantasy leagues next season.

    • Jalen McDaniels dealt to SAC in multi-player deal
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jalen McDaniels was traded to the Kings for Sasha Vezenkov, Davion Mitchell and the 45th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

      Advice: McDaniels logged just 10.8 minutes across 50 games for Toronto last season, but there’s a chance he will see an uptick in playing time for his new team as Keegan Murray’s primary backup at PF. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
       
    • Headed to Sacramento
      The Raptors traded McDaniels in exchange for Davion Mitchell and Sasha Vezenkov on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
       
    • Shipped to Toronto
      The Kings traded Vezenkov and Davion Mitchell to the Raptors in exchange for Jalen McDaniels on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Vezenkov made 42 appearances for the Kings in 2023-24, averaging 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes on 44.0/37.5/80.0 shooting splits. While Vezenkov has shown the ability to be a quality floor-spacer at the forward position, there is no guarantee he will receive a significant uptick in playing time in Toronto.

    • Heading to Toronto
      Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov and the No. 45 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft were traded from the Kings to the Raptors in exchange for Jalen McDaniels on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Mitchell maintained a consistent bench role for the Kings during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 5.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game over 72 regular-season appearances. He should provide decent scoring contributions off the bench with his new team during the 2024-25 season. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
       
    • Lindy Waters III dealt to GSW for No. 52 pick
      Lindy Waters III was traded to the Warriors for the 52nd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Waters III joined the Thunder in 2021, and he’s seen his playing time dwindle in each of the last two seasons since making his NBA debut. He should fill out a depth role for Golden State, but he’s unlikely to make a meaningful impact in the world of fantasy hoops next season. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
       
    • AJ Griffin traded to Houston for 44th pick
      AJ Griffin was traded to the Rockets for the 44th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

      Advice: The 16th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft logged nearly 20 minutes per game as a rookie, but his playing time was cut by more than half in Year 2. Griffin will have a tough time finding minutes in Houston’s rotation, and he’s off the radar in redraft fantasy hoops leagues. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
       
    • Eric Gordon to decline PO, set to hit FA
      Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that Eric Gordon will decline his $3.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season and become a free agent.

      Advice: Gordon will turn 36 this season, but the veteran can still be a valuable part of a contending team thanks to his long-range shooting. Gordon averaged 11.0 points and knocked down 37.8% of his three-point attempts last season with Phoenix. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
       
    • Declines player option
      Gordon declined his $3.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season Thursday and will become a free agent, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Gordon's output has declined over the past few seasons, but he shot 37.8 percent from beyond the arc during the 2023-24 campaign during his first year with the Suns. Over 68 regular-season appearances with Phoenix, he averaged 11.0 points and 2.0 assists in 27.8 minutes per game. He's expected to draw interest from multiple contenders as a free agent, so he could carve out another decent role next year, especially if he maintains his three-point efficiency.
