    • 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.

    • 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 the 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 Yesterday, 4:55 pm
       
    • Shams: Josh Richardson exercising player option
      Josh Richardson will pick up his $3 million player option to remain with the Heat, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Richardson didn’t play the final few months of last season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in early March, but he is expected to make a full recovery before next season begins. He played a reserve role before the injury, and he should once again play a decent-sized role off the bench next year, but he isn’t a player that will make much of a fantasy impact.

    • Picks up option
      Richardson (shoulder) has picked up his $3 million player option to return to Miami for the 2024-25 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: A shoulder injury in February led to a premature ending to Richardson's season, but he was a rotational player prior to the injury. Overall, he averaged 9.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.5 triples across 25.7 minutes in 43 games. The veteran wing will look to earn a similar role for the Heat in the upcoming season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:14 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, and they will now shift to a younger look after selecting 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 Yesterday, 4:00 pm
       
    • 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.

    • 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 in a reunion from both sides. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 1:45 pm
       
    • Traded to Dallas
      The Pistons traded Grimes (knee) to the Mavericks on Friday in exchange for Tim Hardaway and three second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Grimes was traded from New York to Detroit in February, but he made just six appearances with his new team after being shut down due to a right knee injury. Over 51 total appearances during the regular season last year, he averaged 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game. He'll attempt to carve out a role off the bench in Dallas after the team cleared some cap space by trading Hardaway. However, Grimes could struggle to be a consistent contributor for last year's Western Conference champions. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:22 am
