    • Shipped to Atlanta
      The Pelicans traded Nance, Dyson Daniels and two future first-round picks to the Hawks on Friday in exchange for Dejounte Murray, 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 at center. 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.

    • 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. 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 Yesterday, 3:52 pm
       
    • Dealt to New Orleans
      The Hawks traded Murray to the Pelicans on Friday in exchange for two future first-round picks, Dyson Daniels and Larry Nance, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Murray averaged a career-high 22.5 points, along with 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals, in 35.7 minutes across 78 games in 2023-24. However, his fit alongside Trae Young was troubling, especially on the defensive end. In New Orleans, Murray will likely return to his natural point guard spot and will be flanked on the wing by CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm
       
    • Shams: Hawks send Dejounte Murray to Pelicans
      The Hawks have traded Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans in exchange for Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels and two first round picks, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Atlanta has officially broken up the point guard duo of Trae Young and Dejounte, which means that both should be elite fantasy options this season. Dejounte’s arrival in New Orleans will take the ball out of CJ McCollum’s hands and shift him to more of an off-ball role. Plenty more can still change, as Brandon Ingram is still expected to be moved. For the Hawks, Dejounte’s departure will open up minutes for Kobe Bufkin, as well as Daniels. Nance should fill in as the backup center, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they traded Clint Capela at some point this summer. The picks they acquired are the Lakers’ first rounder next season, as well as the least favorable first rounder between the Pelicans and Bucks in 2027. This move helps the Hawks recoup some draft capital, since they gave it all up to bring Murray to town in the first place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:46 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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.

    • 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
