  • 97-81-2 6th Place
    • 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
       
    • Team option picked up
      The Raptors are exercising Brown's $23 million player option for 2024-25 on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Instead of hitting free agency this offseason, Brown will be under contract in Toronto for one more season. In 2023-24, the 26-year-old guard averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes across 67 appearances split between the Pacers and Raptors. Brown's expiring contract could also be a valuable trade piece for Toronto. Rotowire.com Today, 1:11 pm
       
    • Raptors picking up Bruce Brown’s player option
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Raptors are picking up Bruce Brown’s $23 million player option for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Woj notes that, “Brown will be a valuable trade asset on an expiring contract for the Raptors.” Keep an eye on Brown’s status after free agency opens on Sunday as he could be on the move. Rotoworld Today, 1:05 pm
       
    • Chris Paul agrees to push back guarantee date
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Chris Paul has agreed to push back the date to guarantee his $30 million contract for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Paul’s agreement to push back the date to the start of free agency (6:00 p.m ET on Sunday) gives Golden State the chance to explore potential trade routes for the veteran point guard. He’s in the autumn years of his career, but he can still be an end-of-bench fantasy option thanks in large part to his elite production in the assists category. Rotoworld Today, 12:17 pm
       
    • Contract guarantee date pushed back
      Paul and the Warriors intend to move back the guarantee deadline on the point guard's contract to Sunday, the start of free agency, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday.

      Advice: If the Warriors guaranteed Paul's contract for 2024-25, the veteran would earn $30 million next season. Golden State can't afford that price and doesn't want to lose Paul in free agency for nothing, while the point guard likely agreed to this so he'd get a say in where he's potentially traded. Wojnarowski relays that the Warriors are still exploring trades, but what type of market Paul has at this point in his career remains unclear. He averaged a career-low 9.2 points per game in 2023-24.

    • Sticks in New Orleans
      The Pelicans are picking up Alvarado's $1.99 million team option for 2024-25, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Friday.

      Advice: An undrafted point guard out of Georgia Tech, Alvarado has solidified himself as the Pelicans' top backup point guard over the last three seasons and will likely maintain that role next season. Last season, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 18.4 minutes per game across 56 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:39 am
       
    • Immanuel Quickley to sign 5-year, $175M extension
      The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Immanuel Quickley will sign a five-year, $175 million extension with Toronto.

      Advice: Quickley enjoyed a breakout 2023-24 campaign that began in earnest after he arrived in Toronto. He finished inside the top 100 in per-game fantasy hoops value last season, but he’s got mid-round upside heading into his first full season as a Raptor. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 am
       
    • Agrees to $175 million deal
      Quickley agreed to sign a five-year, $175 million contract with the Raptors on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Raptors acquired the 25-year-old from the Knicks in December, and he turned up his game in Toronto as he started in all 38 appearances. Quickley averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.3 minutes while shooting 39.5 percent from deep for the Raptors. He was entering the 2024-25 campaign as a restricted free agent but has now secured a massive deal shortly after teammate Scottie Barnes agreed to a max contract. Rotowire.com Today, 6:49 am
