    • Dealt to Charlotte
      Jackson, along with three second-round picks, was traded to the Hornets from the Nuggets on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Denver is effectively salary-dumping the veteran guard to Charlotte to create financial flexibility. It's possible the Hornets will attempt to ship Jackson off elsewhere, though he would add a veteran presence to a team looking to transition from rebuilding to being competitive. If he remains with Charlotte, Jackson will compete for backup guard minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:48 pm
       
    • Woj: DEN to trade Reggie Jackson to Hornets
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nuggets will trade Reggie Jackson and three future second-round picks to the Hornets.

      Advice: Three days after it was reported that Jackson would opt into the final year of his contract, he’s headed to Charlotte. Given the career timeline, with Jackson moving from a title contender to a rebuilding team, the Hornets may buy him out or look to move the point guard elsewhere. If Jackson sticks in Charlotte, he could have some value backing up the oft-injured LaMelo Ball. For Denver, this move is about the money, as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will enter free agency, and Jamal Murray is on the verge of agreeing to an extension worth over $200 million.

    • 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.

    • 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 a defensive punch off the bench with his new team during the 2024-25 season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:29 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 12:17 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 12:10 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 12:07 pm
       
    • 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.

    • Dealt to Houston
      The Hawks are trading Griffin to the Rockets in exchange for the No. 44 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: After being a first-round pick by Atlanta in the 2022 NBA Draft, Griffin saw a minimal role in his second season with the team. In 2023-24, the 20-year-old forward averaged 2.4 points in 8.6 minutes across 20 bench appearances in the regular season. as he spent much of the season out with an ankle injury or in the G League. Trading Griffin was likely done to make room in the forward rotation after the Hawks drafted Zaccharie Risacher No. 1 overall, but there is no guarantee for minutes in Houston either.
