    • 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 and averaged 3.2 points and rebounds in 12.4 minutes across 63 appearances, including three starts, in 2023-24. However, the 21-year-old forward will now be able to test the open market in free agency. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
       
    • Hornets decline fourth-year option on JT Thor
      The Hornets have declined JT Thor’s fourth-year option, making him an unrestricted free agent.

      Advice: After three quiet seasons in Charlotte, Thor will get the chance to start fresh elsewhere. He played 12.4 minutes per game last season, so this won’t have a dramatic impact on their rotation, especially with Tidjane Salaun in the mix now. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
       
    • Let go by Charlotte
      The Hornets waived Curry (ankle) on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Curry was traded from the Mavericks to the Hornets during the 2023-24 campaign but had his season cut short due to a right ankle sprain. Across his 43 appearances for Dallas and Charlotte, Curry averaged 5.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.3 minutes. While Curry will head into the offseason as a free agent, there is reported interest from both the Hornets and the 32-year-old guard to sign a new deal. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
       
    • Woj: Hornets waive Seth Curry, could re-sign him
      The Hornets waived Seth Curry, but there is interest in bringing him back on a new deal, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

      Advice: Friday was the deadline for the Hornets to guarantee Curry’s contract, which was worth $4 million. Now, they may bring him back on a cheaper deal, unless he opts to sign elsewhere. Regardless, Curry is past his days of impacting fantasy hoops. Rotoworld Today, 1:45 pm
       
    • Staying with Clippers for 2024-25
      Tucker announced Friday that he is exercising his $11.54 million player option for the 2024-25 season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Tucker was traded from the 76ers to the Clippers during the 2023-24 campaign. With Los Angeles, Tucker made 28 appearances, including seven starts, and averaged 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. While the veteran forward is unlikely to receive a large role for the Clippers next season, he is set to stick around for at least one more year. Rotowire.com Today, 1:19 pm
       
    • Shams: P.J. Tucker exercises play option
      P.J. Tucker has exercised his $11.5 million player option to remain with the Clippers, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Tucker was never going to get a better offer from another team, so it isn’t surprising that he picked up this option. It wouldn’t be shocking if they used his contract as trade filler, but regardless of where Tucker suits up, he won’t impact fantasy hoops. Rotoworld Today, 1:18 pm
       
    • Jalen Smith to decline $5.4 million player option
      Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that Jalen Smith will decline his $5.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season to enter free agency.

      Advice: Smith enjoyed career-highs in FG% (59.2) and three-point percentage (42.4) in his fourth NBA season, and he should have no shortage of suitors given his ability to space the floor and block shots. Rotoworld Today, 12:27 pm
       
    • Declines player option
      Smith declined his $5.4 million player option for 2024-25 on Friday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Smith saw an inconsistent role for the Pacers in 2023-24, averaging 9.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.2 minutes across 61 appearances, including 14 starts. However, the 23-year-old big man was largely left out of the team's rotation in the playoffs. Smith will now look to join a new team in free agency. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 am
       
    • Team option picked up
      The Pelicans are picking up Robinson-Earl's $2.2 million team option for 2024-25, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Friday.

      Advice: After two campaigns in Oklahoma City, Robinson-Earl joined the Pelicans last season and made 39 regular-season appearances (one start). He averaged 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.6 minutes per game. Robinson-Earl will presumably be an end-of-bench frontcourt option again next season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am
