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. 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. RotoworldToday, 3:52 pm
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.comToday, 2:25 pm
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. RotoworldToday, 2:08 pm
Cam Whitmore and AJ Griffin will play in Summer League.
Advice: Both wings will suit up for the Rockets this summer. Whitmore had a strong rookie season, but the extra reps will still help. Griffin barely suited up for Atlanta last season, so getting time on the court will be good for him as he adjusts to a new team. Alongside Reed Sheppard, they will have a talented squad in Vegas.

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 in a reunion from both sides. Rotowire.comToday, 1:51 pm
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. RotoworldToday, 1:45 pm
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.comToday, 1:19 pm
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. RotoworldToday, 1:18 pm
