    • Report: Pistons to waive Troy Brown Jr.
      James Edwards III of The Athletic reports that the Pistons will waive Troy Brown Jr.

      Advice: The Pistons faced a June 30 deadline to decide whether or not to guarantee Brown’s contract for next season. The decision to waive the 2018 first-round pick frees up approximately $4 million in cap space, and the decision to move on from Brown means even more playing time should be available to lottery pick Ron Holland. Brown appeared in 22 games for the Pistons after being acquired from Minnesota, averaging 4.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals in 19.0 minutes Rotoworld Today, 11:58 am
       
    • Cut loose by Detroit
      The Pistons will waive Brown on Saturday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Brown's $4 million salary for the 2024-25 season would have become fully guaranteed if he remained on the roster by Sunday, and the Pistons weren't interested in keeping him around at that price. The 24-year-old forward has bounced around with five teams over the past four seasons and will now be seeking out a new home in free agency. After being acquired via trade with the Timberwolves in February, Brown averaged 4.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 19.0 minutes in 22 appearances for the Pistons.

    • Woj: ATL will not issue qual. offer to Saddiq Bey
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks will not issue a qualifying offer to Saddiq Bey, making him an unrestricted free agent.

      Advice: Bey’s qualifying offer was worth $8 million, so the Hawks declining it is unsurprising given the current circumstances. Bey suffered a torn ACL in March and is facing a lengthy rehabilitation period. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent on June 30, and while a return to Atlanta is not off the table, the chances have decreased. Atlanta selected Zaccharie Risacher with the first overall pick and acquired Dyson Daniels in the trade that sent Dejounte Murray to New Orleans. Rotoworld Today, 9:58 am
       
    • Headed for free agency
      The Hawks declined to extend Bey (knee) an $8.49 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Bey tore his ACL on March 10, cutting short what will end up being his final season with the Hawks, barring him re-signing with the club. Before suffering the injury, the 25-year-old forward appeared in 63 games and averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 32.7 minutes. Given the nature of his injury, Bey will be sidelined for the start of the 2024-25 and could miss most of the campaign, but even if he doesn't find a landing spot this summer, he should be able to find an opportunity once he's closer to full health.

    • Staying in Minnesota in 2024-25
      Minott's $2.02 million contract for the 2024-25 season became fully guaranteed Friday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

      Advice: Minott has logged just 47 appearances with Minnesota through his first two seasons in the professional ranks, but he's posted impressive numbers with the G League's Iowa Wolves and is still viewed as a promising developmental piece for the organization. Though the Timberwolves are keeping him in the fold for the 2024-25 campaign, Minott may not be assured a larger role during the upcoming season. Reserves Kyle Anderson, Monte Morris and Jordan McLaughlin are the lone Timberwolves rotation players from this past season scheduled for free agency, and Minnesota may have already found their replacements in first-round draft picks Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon.

    • Report: BOS to exercise Sam Hauser’s team option
      According to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, the Celtics will exercise Sam Hauser’s team option for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Boston lead executive Brad Stevens has made it clear that the team wants to keep Hauser, and this report aligns with that desire. Hauser is in line to make $2.1 million next season, and the decision to pick up his option allows the Celtics to negotiate an extension. Talks on an extension cannot begin until July 9, per league rules. Hauser provided Boston with reliable 3-point production as the team won the NBA championship this season, and he’ll have added value in 2024-25 due to Kristaps Porzingis likely missing 5-6 months after undergoing left leg surgery.

    • Option picked up
      The Celtics will exercise Hauser's $2.1 million option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Both parties are expected to have negotiations on an extension after the window to do so opens July 9, but for the time being, Hauser will at least be back with the Celtics for the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old has seen his role grow with the club in each of the three years he has been on the team. He was a key rotational piece on this season's championship-winning squad, averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.5 steals across 22.0 minutes in 79 games.

    • Woj: HOU to pick up Jae’Sean Tate’s player option
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets are picking up Jae’Sean Tate’s player option for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Tate, who appeared in 65 games last season, will make approximately $7.6 million in 2024-25. The versatile forward averaged 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.6 steals in 15.2 minutes, with his production and playing time decreasing due to the arrivals of Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson. And this was with Tari Eason missing most of the season with a leg injury. A healthy Eason in the rotation lowers Tate’s fantasy ceiling even more. Rotoworld Today, 8:20 am
       
    • Woj: Kevin Love to decline player option
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Kevin Love is declining his player option for the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: Had he opted into the final season of his contract, Love would have made approximately $4 million in 2024-25. He’ll become an unrestricted free agent, but Wojnarowski also reported that Love and the Heat are “enthusiastic” about being able to work out a deal. Love will likely have limited fantasy value if he returns to Miami, as the Heat have Bam Adebayo as their starting center and selected Indiana’s Kel’El Ware with the 15th overall pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft.
