  • Signs three-year deal with Dallas
    Marshall has agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal with the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Marshall has spent all four years of his career with the Pelicans, but he will now be joining the Mavericks who look to gear up for another deep run. The 26-year-old pro averaged 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.0 minutes per game across 66 appearances last season. Marshall could hold a sizeable role next year with Derrick Jones hitting free agency. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Woj: Mavs, Naji Marshall agree to three-year deal
    According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Mavericks and Naji Marshall have agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal.

    Advice: A solid bench contributor for the Pelicans during his four seasons in New Orleans, Marshall is headed to Dallas for the next step in his career. Appearing in 66 games last season, he averaged 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.9 3-pointers in 19.0 minutes. Marshall is unlikely to significantly impact fantasy basketball in Dallas, but his signing does call into question the future of Derrick Jones Jr., who is also a free agent. Jones was a consistent starter for the Western Conference champions, and his exit would free up additional minutes for Marshall. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Heading to Philadelphia
    Gordon agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the 76ers on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Gordon spent the 2023-24 campaign in Phoenix and averaged 11.0 points, 2.2 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game over 68 regular-season appearances. He's converted 38.5 percent of his 5.4 three-point attempts per game over the past three seasons and should be a solid perimeter presence for his new team, but the extent of his role will likely depend on whether the 76ers land Paul George in free agency.

  • Shams: Eric Gordon signs with 76ers
    The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Eric Gordon has agreed to a deal with the 76ers.

    Advice: The terms of the deal are not yet known, but Philly will add some needed shooting and another veteran presence. Gordon won’t make a huge splash for fantasy hoops managers, but the signing is a great real-life move for a 76ers team looking to contend in the Eastern Conference. Rotoworld Today, 5:33 pm
     
  • Catches on with Orlando
    Caldwell-Pope agreed Sunday with the Magic on a three-year, $66 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope is headed to Orlando after spending the last two seasons with the Nuggets. The 31-year-old wing averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.3 steals per game in 31.6 minutes per contest over his 76 appearances while shooting 40.6 percent from three-point range. Caldwell-Pope will probably see only a modest increase in usage in Orlando even though he's no longer playing alongside three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and another premium scorer in Jamal Murray, but he should be a notable upgrade at the shooting guard spot for a Magic squad that often started Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan or Anthony Black alongside Franz Wagner on the wing last season.

  • Report: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope headed to Magic
    According to USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has agreed to a three-year, $66 million deal with the Magic.

    Advice: The Magic have addressed an area of need (3-point shooter) while adding another solid defender to the roster. Caldwell-Pope, who declined a player option worth $15.4 million that would have kept him in Denver, shot 40.6% from three last season and 42.3% during the Nuggets’ run to the title in 2022-23. KCP will have solid fantasy value in Orlando, as he’ll be in the starting lineup alongside Jalen Suggs. This transaction likely takes Orlando out of the Paul George sweepstakes.

  • Parting ways with Philadelphia
    Batum doesn't plan to return to the 76ers in free agency, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Batum will hit free agency following a season in which he appeared in 60 games including 38 starts. Batum saw a significant role in the playoffs, averaging 6.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game during Philadelphia's first-round matchup against the Knicks, proving he still can add value to a team. As such, the 35-year-old pro will likely receive some interest in free agency. Rotowire.com Today, 3:49 pm
     
  • Report: Nicolas Batum not returning to 76ers
    According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, Nicolas Batum will not be re-signing with the 76ers.

    Advice: While Batum gave the 76ers solid minutes last season, re-signing him is not a priority, with Paul George and Klay Thompson being rumored targets. Batum should land with a team with playoff ambitions, but he’s unlikely to do enough to offer reliable fantasy value. Rotoworld Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Remaining in Miami
    Love agreed Sunday with the Heat on a two-year deal worth over $8 million, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: On Saturday, Love declined his $4.03 million player option for the 2024-25 season, but he'll remain with Miami after quickly coming to terms on a two-year deal. The 35-year-old made 55 regular-season appearances for Miami in 2023-24, averaging 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 16.8 minutes per game. He'll look to fend off rookie first-round pick Kel'el Ware for the primary backup role behind starting center Bam Adebayo. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm
