    • 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.

    • 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 in February 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, 1.0 assists and 0.9 three-pointers in 14.3 minutes. While the 33-year-old Curry will head into the offseason as a free agent, both he and the Hornets reportedly have interest in reuniting on a lower-cost deal. Rotowire.com Friday, 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 Friday, 1:45 pm
       
    • Team option picked up
      The Raptors exercised Brown's $23 million player option for the 2024-25 season Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: A key piece in the Nuggets' run to the NBA title in 2022-23, Brown struggled to take hold of a larger role in Indiana to begin the season and then with the Raptors, who acquired him from the Pacers in January. Following the trade to Toronto, Brown appeared in 34 games and averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per contest. Despite his underwhelming production in Toronto, the Raptors still saw enough value in Brown's defensive versatility to retain him at a $23 million salary. If nothing else, the sizable expiring contract will make Brown a valuable trade piece in helping Toronto facilitate a potential deal during the upcoming season. Rotowire.com Friday, 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 Friday, 1:05 pm
       
    • 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 Thursday, 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 Thursday, 12:29 pm
