    • Team option picked up
      The Raptors are exercising Brown's $23 million player option for 2024-25 on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Instead of hitting free agency this offseason, Brown will be under contract in Toronto for one more season. In 2023-24, the 26-year-old guard averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes across 67 appearances split between the Pacers and Raptors. Brown's expiring contract could also be a valuable trade piece for Toronto. Rotowire.com Today, 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 Today, 1:05 pm
       
    • Declining option, may re-sign
      Okogie plans to decline his $2.95 million player option and enter unrestricted free agency, Michael Scotto of USA Today reported Friday, but the forward could re-sign with Phoenix for more than the veteran minimum, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports reported Okogie planned to exercise his option and remain with the Suns, but Bourguet relays the Suns want to re-sign Okogie to a slightly larger deal. However, Phoenix's top priority this offseason is retaining Royce O'Neale. Okogie had a reduced role for Phoenix during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes across 60 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old finished the season without a spot in former coach Frank Vogel's rotation, but Okogie could re-establish himself under new coach Mike Budenholzer if he does re-sign with Phoenix.

    • Traded to Dallas
      The Pistons traded Grimes (knee) to the Mavericks on Friday in exchange for Tim Hardaway and three second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Grimes was traded from New York to Detroit in February, but he made just six appearances with his new team after being shut down due to a right knee injury. Over 51 total appearances during the regular season last year, he averaged 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game. He'll attempt to carve out a role off the bench in Dallas after the team cleared some cap space by trading Hardaway. However, Grimes could struggle to be a consistent contributor for last year's Western Conference champions. Rotowire.com Today, 7:22 am
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. dealt to DET for picks, Grimes
      ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Tim Hardaway Jr. has been traded to the Detroit Pistons for three second-round picks and Quentin Grimes.

      Advice: Fellow ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon notes that moving Hardaway Jr. clears up space needed to sign Derrick Jones Jr., which was a priority for the Mavs’ front office. Hardaway Jr. is unlikely to see a major shift in fantasy value with his new team. He’ll be a three-point specialist who offers little else in the box score. Grimes could be a rotational option in Dallas, but he’s off the radar outside the deepest of fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 am
       
    • Sent to Detroit
      The Mavericks traded Hardaway and three second-round picks to the Pistons on Friday in exchange for Quentin Grimes, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Hardaway was a consistent contributor for Dallas over the past five seasons, and he maintained his production during the 2023-24 campaign despite coming off the bench in most appearances. Over 79 regular-season appearances last year, he averaged 14.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 26.8 minutes per game, but his role decreased once the playoffs began. Hardaway should be able to carve out a decent role on the wing with the Pistons after Dallas elected to move on from him, largely to clear some cap space. Rotowire.com Today, 7:15 am
       
    • Immanuel Quickley to sign 5-year, $175M extension
      The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Immanuel Quickley will sign a five-year, $175 million extension with Toronto.

      Advice: Quickley enjoyed a breakout 2023-24 campaign that began in earnest after he arrived in Toronto. He finished inside the top 100 in per-game fantasy hoops value last season, but he’s got mid-round upside heading into his first full season as a Raptor. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 am
       
    • Exercising player option
      Okogie plans to exercise his $2.96 million player for the 2024-25 season to remain with the Suns, Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports reports.

      Advice: Okogie had a reduced role for Phoenix during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes in 60 games. The 25-year-old finished the season without a spot in former coach Frank Vogel's rotation, but Okogie could re-establish himself under new coach Mike Budenholzer. Rotowire.com Today, 6:59 am
       
    • Agrees to $175 million deal
      Quickley agreed to sign a five-year, $175 million contract with the Raptors on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Raptors acquired the 25-year-old from the Knicks in December, and he turned up his game in Toronto as he started in all 38 appearances. Quickley averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.3 minutes while shooting 39.5 percent from deep for the Raptors. He was entering the 2024-25 campaign as a restricted free agent but has now secured a massive deal shortly after teammate Scottie Barnes agreed to a max contract. Rotowire.com Today, 6:49 am
