Winners from the 2022-23 NBA Offseason Trades - Part 2
The NBA offseason has turned into a matter of days--hours, if you push it--when it comes to player movement. Tampering present or not, the truth is that franchises lose no time in inking their new acquisitions to healthy deals, wheeling and dealing rookies and draft picks left and right, and pulling off trades with other […]
Ochai Agbaji Dealt To Utah On Thursday
The Cavaliers are sending forward Ochai Agbaji, along with Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen, to Utah in exchange for Donovan Mitchell. Agbaji, who was selected with the No. 14 pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, is now on his way to a rebuilding franchise. While the former Jayhawk shouldn't see consistent minutes initially, there's a […]
Lauri Markkanen Traded To The Jazz
The Jazz acquired forward Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and rookie Ochai Agbaji from the Cavaliers on Thursday in exchange for Donovan Mitchell. Also included in the deal, Utah will receive three unprotected first-round selections and two pick swaps. Markkanen began his career with the Bulls before spending last season in Cleveland, averaging 14.8 points, 5.7 […]
Collin Sexton On The Way To Utah
The Cavs traded guard Collin Sexton to Utah in exchange for superstar Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz will also receive Lauri Markkanen, 2022 first-round pick Ochai Agbaji, and three unprotected first-round selections (along with two pick swaps). Sexton, who also received a four-year, $72 million contract, played his first four years in Cleveland, averaging 20.0 points, […]
Donovan Mitchell Traded To Cleveland
The Jazz traded guard Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers on Thursday. In exchange, Utah will receive Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, 2022 first-round pick Ochai Agbaji, and three unprotected first-round draft picks (along with two pick swaps). Mitchell now will head to Cleveland to begin the next chapter of his career after spending his first five […]
Winners from the 2022-23 NBA Offseason Trades - Part 1
The NBA offseason has turned into a matter of days--hours, if you push it--when it comes to player movement. Tampering present or not, the truth is that franchises lose no time in inking their new acquisitions to healthy deals, wheeling and dealing rookies and draft picks left and right, and pulling off trades with other […]
Lakers Showing Interest In Cam Reddish
New York Knicks guard Cam Reddish might not be with the team for much longer. The organization appears to be seeking a trade partner for Reddish this offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Reddish. This isn't the first time that we've heard the Lakers are interested in Reddish. The 23-year-old still […]
Grant Williams Could See More Minutes
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams could see an uptick in playing time to begin the season. Fellow forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) could miss some time, which means Williams is in line for more minutes. There's a chance that the Celtics move Williams over to the five spot more often next season. The team considers Williams […]
Jerome Robinson Signs Deal With Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have reached an agreement on a training camp deal with guard Jerome Robinson. The former 13th overall pick will get a chance to compete for a bench spot in camp. Last season, Robinson spent his time with the Warriors G League affiliate in Santa Cruz. He never really lived up to […]
Chet Holmgren Has Successful Surgery
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (foot) underwent successful surgery. The rookie recently suffered a Lisfranc injury during a Pro-Am game in Seattle while attempting to block a dunk from LeBron James. Instead, Holmgren will now miss the entire 2022-23 campaign. However, his status beyond that is up in the air.
Markieff Morris Heading To Brooklyn
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is heading to the Nets on a one-year deal. The 32-year-old averaged 7.6 points and 2.6 boards with the Heat last season, although he played only 17 games due to injury. While the veteran shouldn't be a routine fantasy contributor, he has a chance to earn a meaningful role in the […]
RJ Barrett Receives Contract Extension
New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million. Last season, the 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.0 points while adding 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Barrett's new deal is somewhat surprising, primarily since the Jazz had […]
Russell Westbrook Would Have Meaningful Role If Not Dealt
Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook could be traded ahead of the 2022-23 season. The team recently acquired Patrick Beverley from Utah, fueling further speculation about Westbrook's future in L.A. However, NBA insider Marc Stein revealed that if the 2017 MVP isn't moved, new head coach Darvin Ham is committed to finding a meaningful role […]
Nets, Markieff Morris Moving Forward In Talks
The Nets and free-agent forward Markieff Morris have "moved into advanced discussions." Brooklyn has the veteran on the radar, especially with the team looking to add depth underneath the basket. The 32-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists throughout his career. While Morris probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor if he […]
Christian Koloko Signs With Toronto
Center Christian Koloko agreed to a three-year, $5.24 million contract with Toronto. The team selected the 22-year-old in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft after suiting up for the Arizona Wildcats at the collegiate level. The Raptors lack quality depth underneath the rim, so if Koloko plays his cards right, he could work […]
Blazers Part Ways With Didi Louzada
Portland has waived forward Didi Louzada. The 23-year-old began his career with the Pelicans after the team selected him in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft. He didn't see the floor much during his time in New Orleans and was traded to the Trail Blazers in the deal that sent C.J. McCollum to […]
Raptors Waive Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
The Raptors have waived guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. The 25-year-old has suited up for four teams since he was drafted in 2018 and has averaged 6.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists throughout his career. With that said, his fantasy value is non-existent, and it likely won't change if he finds work ahead of the 2022-23 […]
John Wall Looking Good This Offseason
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall has looked good during offseason workouts, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. The veteran received a buyout from his former team, the Houston Rockets, and after clearing waivers, he signed with L.A. Wall, who didn't play in 2021-22, has averaged 19.1 points, 9.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals […]
Sam Hauser Could Get More Playing Time
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser may receive more playing time to start the season. Danilo Gallinari (knee) tore his meniscus during a FIBA World Cup qualifier, so the door could be open for Hauser to benefit. He agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract in the offseason after averaging 2.5 points and 1.1 rebounds while […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Doing On-Court Work
Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is currently doing on-court work in Serbia after undergoing right knee surgery back in May. He is moving in a positive direction and is anticipated to be ready for the preseason, although there's still a chance he won't be. The oft-injured 30-year-old played 63 games last season and averaged […]
Gary Harris Has A Torn Meniscus
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (knee) suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. He will undergo further testing, with surgery remaining a possibility. Harris was traded to Orlando from Denver in March 2021 and signed a two-year, $26 million contract extension in June. Although the veteran isn't expected to start this season, he should […]
Nets Ink Yuta Watanabe To Non-Guaranteed Deal
Free-agent forward Yuta Watanabe agreed to a one-year contract with Brooklyn on Sunday. The 27-year-old has four professional seasons under his belt, suiting up for the Grizzlies and Raptors and averaging 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. It's a non-guaranteed deal, so there's a good chance he won't make the regular season roster. Yet, […]
Danilo Gallinari Sustains Meniscus Tear
Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during a FIBA World Cup qualifier on Saturday. His prognosis didn't look favorable when the injury occurred. However, after further tests and an MRI, he didn't sustain any damage to the surrounding ligaments or ACL. This is certainly good news. Yet, […]
Nets Considering Adding Tristan Thompson
Free-agent center Tristan Thompson is on the Nets' radar. The veteran has played for four teams after his nine-year tenure with the Cavs came to an end. Through his career, he's averaged 9.0 boards, 8.4 rebounds. Nevertheless, if Thompson signs with Brooklyn, he isn't expected to receive much work. However, considering Nicolas Claxton has battled […]
Chris Silva Signs With Atlanta
Free-agent forward Chris Silva has signed with the Hawks, with the terms of the deal remaining undisclosed. It is an Exhibit 10 contract, so he'll be competing for a roster spot throughout training camp. The 25-year-old went undrafted in 2019. Since then, he's made a total of 69 professional appearances, suiting up for the Heat, […]
Talen Horton-Tucker Heading To Utah
Utah has acquired guard Talen Horton-Tucker from the Lakers in exchange for defensive specialist Patrick Beverley. The 21-year-old, who inked a three-year, $32 million deal in August 2021, has averaged 9.3 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.6 rebounds throughout his 131 games in L.A. However, after failing to meet expectations, Horton-Tucker will now have a chance […]
Donovan Mitchell Prefers Deal To Heat, Knicks, Or Nets
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell has reportedly expressed his desire to play for the Knicks, Heat, or Nets if he were to be traded. The Nets recently made amends with Kevin Durant, and with Ben Simmons unable to be on the same roster as Mitchell due to the designated rookie extension rule, a move to […]
Brooklyn Expressing Interest In Markieff Morris
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is drawing interest from the Nets. The 32-year-old has had a lengthy career, suiting up for six different teams along the way and averaging 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. While his best days are probably behind him, he could earn some minutes in Brooklyn this season, giving him streaming […]
Joe Wieskamp Staying In San Antonio
Guard/forward Joe Wieskamp is staying in San Antonio, agreeing to a two-year, $4.4 million deal. The 22-year-old had a run in the G League last season. He also appeared in 29 games for the Spurs, averaging 2.1 points in 7.1 minutes. Wieskamp's fantasy outlook isn't bright heading into the regular season. However, with the Spurs […]
