  • 19-0-0 1st Place
    • Shipped to Atlanta
      The Pelicans traded Nance, Dyson Daniels and two first-round picks to the Hawks in exchange for Dejounte Murray on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Nance averaged 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes across 61 bench appearances for the Pelicans in 2023-24. His role in Atlanta is unclear, as Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu will likely both feature ahead of him in the frontcourt rotation. Regardless, Nance has displayed versatility on the defensive end as well as an improved outside shot, converting 41.5 percent of 1.1 three-point attempts per contest last season.

    • Larry Nance Jr. sent to Atlanta in Dejounte deal
      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. Rotoworld Today, 3:52 pm
       
    • 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. 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.com Today, 2:25 pm
       
    • 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 Today, 2:08 pm
       
    • Cam Whitmore, AJ Griffin to play in Summer League
      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.

    • 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
