Sat Aug 7 202114:19Chris Boucher To Spend Time At The Four This YearChris BoucherCRaptorsTeam 7
Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher is slated to spend time as a power forward this season. With Pascal Siakam (shoulder) likely to miss a month or two moving ahead, Boucher's fantasy stock is on the rise. Although he may not start, at least consistently, the 28-year-old still has a higher ceiling than most with a similar role. He averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 points, and 1.9 blocks while shooting 38.3 percent from deep throughout 60 games last season, so managers looking for value toward the later rounds of fantasy drafts shouldn't look past him.

Sat Aug 7 202114:09Caleb Martin Waived By CharlotteCaleb MartinSFHeatFree Agent
Charlotte Hornets forward Caleb Martin was waived by the team on Saturday. The 25-year-old appeared in 53 games last season, starting in three of them. However, regardless of his role, he still didn't do much, finishing the year by averaging 5.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that he will make a consistent impact in season-long formats, but don't be surprised if his name is floating around as a streaming option in DFS formats at some point throughout the year, assuming he finds a new team.

Fri Aug 6 202123:04Andre Iguodala Heading Back To Golden StateAndre IguodalaSFWarriorsFree Agent
Free-agent forward Andre Iguodala agreed to a deal with the Warriors on Friday. After the Heat declined a $15 million team option, the veteran will head back to Golden State, where he won three NBA Championships and was named Finals MVP in 2015. However, the 37-year-old hasn't done much for managers over recent years, so it's likely he won't be on many fantasy teams heading into the 2021-22 campaign.

Fri Aug 6 202122:56Justise Winslow Agrees To Deal With ClippersJustise WinslowPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Free-agent forward Justise Winslow agreed to a two-year deal with the Clippers. After Winslow played in Miami during his first five seasons in the league, his production significantly declined with Memphis during the 2020-21 campaign, averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout 26 games. The 25-year-old doesn't have any value on the fantasy end at the moment. However, with Kawhi Leonard (knee) expected to miss time moving ahead, the former Blue Devil has a chance to see an uptick in statistical categories, although it likely won't be enough to make a difference for fantasy managers.

Fri Aug 6 202122:45Kevin Durant Signs Extension With NetsKevin DurantPFNetsTeam 4
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant agreed to a four-year, $198 million contract extension with the team. The former MVP averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.6 boards, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 45 percent from deep throughout 35 games last season. The 32-year-old dealt with health and safety protocols in 2020-21, and injuries have been consistent during his career. However, managers should still consider him a top-10 option in all formats during upcoming fantasy drafts.

Fri Aug 6 202120:56Reggie Jackson Re-Signs With ClippersReggie JacksonPGClippersFree Agent
Guard Reggie Jackson will remain with the Clippers after agreeing to a two-year, $22 million contract. The 31-year-old was a big part in helping L.A. navigate its way through the postseason after Kawhi Leonard (knee) tore his ACL, averaging 17.8 points while shooting nearly 41 percent from deep throughout the playoffs. With Leonard potentially missing the entire 2021-22 campaign, Jackson is now the unofficial No. 2 option on the offensive end for Los Angeles, so managers should view him as an everyday fantasy option during the year.

Fri Aug 6 202120:30Willy Hernangomez Staying In New OrleansWilly HernangomezCPelicansFree Agent
Center Willy Hernangomez agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Pelicans. The 2015 second-round draft pick has played in New York and Charlotte throughout his career before ending up in New Orleans. The 27-year-old wasn't a consistent fantasy option last season, but throughout his 12 games in the starting lineup, he averaged a double-double by way of 11.5 points and 10.8 rebounds. While Hernangomez remains behind Jonas Valanciunas and Jaxson Hayes on the depth chart, his ceiling will get much higher if he lands a consistent role at some point during the year.

Fri Aug 6 202120:16Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To CharlotteKelly OubreSFHornetsFree Agent
Free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has agreed to a two-year, $26 million contract with Charlotte. After Oubre spent most of his years in Washington, he made stops in Phoenix and, most recently, Golden State, where he finished the 2020-21 campaign by averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. The veteran's health is an issue, primarily since he hasn't logged an entire season yet, and his shooting percentages need to improve. However, the former Jayhawk has the potential to crack the starting-five with the Hornets, or at the very least, see plenty of time as a viable sixth man moving ahead.

Fri Aug 6 202120:05Kawhi Leonard Returning To The ClippersKawhi LeonardSFClippersTeam 7
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has agreed to a new deal to remain with the team. In July, the two-time Finals MVP and multi-time All-Star had surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his right knee. Although he declined his $36 million player option, the team still had its sights on him, despite potentially missing the entire 2021-22 campaign. Throughout 10 seasons in the league, Leonard averaged 19.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. While he is worth a late-round stash this season, his fantasy outlook isn't promising by any means.

Thu Aug 5 202123:03Julius Randle Staying In New YorkJulius RandlePFKnicksTeam 9
Forward Julius Randle agreed to a four-year, $117 million contract to remain in New York. The final year of the deal includes a player option, and it comes after 26-year-old averaged a career-high 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists last season. Randle also played nearly 38 minutes in each of his 71 games, all in the starting lineup, so managers would be justified to take him somewhere in the second or third rounds in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Wed Aug 4 202121:00Hassan Whiteside Reaches Agreement With UtahHassan WhitesideCJazzFree Agent
Free-agent center Hassan Whiteside has agreed to a veteran's minimum with the Jazz. After several seasons of efficiency in Miami, the veteran then made stops in Portland and Sacramento. While with the Kings, Whiteside averaged 8.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks but was plagued by injuries and relegated to a reserve role behind Richaun Holmes. He will remain a bench option in Utah backing up Rudy Gobert, a player who hasn't missed much time over the years. Although Whiteside still has value in deeper formats, his fantasy ceiling is potentially the lowest than at any point throughout his career.

Wed Aug 4 202114:44Terence Davis To Stay With KingsTerence DavisPGKingsFree Agent
Sacramento Kings guard Terence Davis has agreed to a two-year deal with the organization. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists with 1.0 steals through 27 games with the Kings last season. He'll be thrown into the Kings young guard mix of De'Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, and Davion Mitchell. To be honest, Davis is probably the fourth best player in the group, so his fantasy value will be limited. He might be a deep league option or streaming choice, but won't be worth a look on draft day.

Wed Aug 4 202114:26Kemba Walker Expected To Sign With KnicksKemba WalkerPGKnicksGeoff
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Kemba Walker has reached a buyout agreement with the organization. Walker is expected to sign with the New York Knicks once he clears waivers. Walker has struggled to find a home since leaving Charlotte. He averaged 19.3 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.0 rebounds with 1.1 steals per game last season. The talent is still there, but Walker's knee continues to bother him. It has slowed him down the last few seasons and the issue is unlikely to go away. Walker will remain a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option, assuming he signs with New York. The knee issue is probably going to sideline him at some point, but he'll be a huge asset to the Knicks if he can stay on the court.

Wed Aug 4 202114:20Hawks Give John Collins $125 Million DealJohn CollinsPFHawksTeam 4
Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins has agreed on a five-year extension with the organization. Last offseason, Collins bet on himself and turned down a $90 million extension from the organization. A year later, Collins is signing a five-year $125 million deal with the team. He averaged 17.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks last season with the Hawks. Collins is one of the brightest young stars in the game and should continue to get better. He'll be snagged off draft boards within the first few rounds on draft day.

Wed Aug 4 202114:14Tony Bradley Takes Backup Role In ChicagoTony BradleyCBullsFree Agent
The Chicago Bulls have agreed to a one-year deal with center Tony Bradley. It will be on a minimum deal as Bradley will be asked to slide into a backup role behind Nikola Vucevic. Last season, Bradley averaged 8.7 points, 6.1 rebounds in 22 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He likely won't have a big role in Chicago, assuming everyone stays healthy. He can be ignored on draft day, but is someone worth monitoring if a big man goes down in Chicago.

Tue Aug 3 202121:53Stephen Curry Agrees To Contract ExtensionStephen CurryPGWarriorsGeoff
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has agreed to a four-year, $215 contract extension. Although Curry has battled injuries throughout the years, he resumed his elite-level play last season, averaging 32 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting just over 42 percent from deep. Fantasy managers should consider the former MVP a top-10 fantasy option. Still, outside of dynasty formats, nobody could argue with anyone who views him as the No. 1 choice in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Tue Aug 3 202120:30Talen Horton-Tucker Staying In L.A.Talen Horton-TuckerSFLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker has agreed to a three-year, $32 million contract to remain with the team. The 20-year-old is one of the most highly touted up-and-coming players in the league, and he will have a chance to gain meaningful minutes off the bench during his third season in the league. Horton-Tucker averaged 9.0 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.6 rebounds throughout 65 games last season but averaged even more as a starter. He has Sixth Man of the Year potential, and he should be targeted after managers draft their starting lineups in deeper formats.

Tue Aug 3 202120:19Kendrick Nunn Agrees To Deal With LakersKendrick NunnPGLakersTeam 6
Guard Kendrick Nunn has agreed to a two-year deal with the Lakers. After the Heat withdrew its qualifying offer, making the 26-year-old an unrestricted free agent, he will now head to Los Angeles to join LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis. Nunn had the potential for an enhanced role in Miami. However, after Kyle Lowry agreed to take his talents to South Beach, his ceiling came crashing down. Nonetheless, while he doesn't have much value on the fantasy end, that could change if he receives a more prominent role at some point during the year.

Tue Aug 3 202119:59George Hill Likely Heading Back To MilwaukeeGeorge HillPGBucksFree Agent
Guard George Hill reportedly plans to sign with the Bucks. On Tuesday, the veteran was waived by his former employer, the Philadelphia 76ers, so it didn't take him long to find work. Hill will head back to Milwaukee, where he played for two years, finishing his final season in 2020 by averaging 9.4 points, 3.6 assists, and shooting 46 percent from deep. He shouldn't be considered an everyday fantasy option. However, the upside is there if Jrue Holiday were to get injured at some point during the 2021-22 season.

Tue Aug 3 202114:53Rodney Hood Expected To Sign With BucksRodney HoodSGClippersFree Agent
Toronto Raptors forward Rodney Hood is expected to be released on Tuesday and intends to sign a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks following that release. Hood struggled last season, averaging 4.5 points per game on 36.2 percent shooting, but is just a season removed from averaging 11.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game for the Blazers, a year that he shot 50.6 percent from the floor. This is a smart move for the Bucks, who should be able to get the most out of Hood. He's an intriguing late-round lottery ticket in redraft leagues.
