Guard Colby Jones has signed with Liga Endesa club Manresa, per Sportando, after finishing last season with the G League's Memphis Hustle. The 34th pick in the 2023 draft, Jones spent time in the NBA as a reserve, appearing in 70 games across three seasons with the Kings, Wizards, and Pistons while averaging 3.2 points. He has been more productive in the G-League, including a 13.8-point, 4.1-rebound, and 3.6-assist season with Memphis after previously averaging 17.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals across G League stops with Motor City, Capital City, and Stockton. The NIT Most Outstanding Player and 6-6 wing brings physicality and playmaking to Spain, but he never found an NBA niche and holds no fantasy value stateside as he starts fresh overseas.

Restricted free-agent forward Peyton Watson has been linked to the Bucks, Clippers, and Hawks in sign-and-trade scenarios, per Shams Charania of ESPN, via Evan Sidery. Watson, 23, is coming off a breakout season, posting career highs of 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 41.1 percent from three and adding 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks. Denver wants to keep the two-way wing but faces a cap crunch after the Spencer Jones match raised its league-high payroll. For fantasy, Watson is an ascending nine-category asset on his threes, steals, and blocks, and a sign-and-trade to a team needing offense could lift his usage. He is a strong dynasty buy wherever he lands.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is considering accepting his $9.62 million qualifying offer to reach unrestricted free agency in 2027, per Marc Stein, via Evan Sidery. Duren and the Pistons remain far apart, as the 22-year-old wants a max extension while Detroit prefers a smaller number. He is coming off an All-NBA Third Team season, averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds as a rim-running anchor next to Cade Cunningham. However this resolves, Duren stays Detroit's starting center for 2026-27, so his fantasy stock is untouched: a high-end producer for points, rebounds and field-goal percentage. He remains a strong dynasty asset, with the qualifying-offer path adding only minor long-term uncertainty about where he lands.

Free-agent guard Russell Westbrook is not generating much, if any, interest on the market, per Evan Sidery, and could open the 2026-27 season unsigned. The 37-year-old spent last season with the Sacramento Kings, where he stayed productive, averaging 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 64 games, though he shot 33.8 percent from three. After playing for seven teams in nine years, the future Hall of Famer and 2017 MVP is running out of suitors, with teams likely wary of his efficiency. For fantasy, his Sacramento line looked rosterable, but there is nothing to draft until he signs and lands a role, which is no longer a given.

The Denver Nuggets have matched Oklahoma City's two-year, $12 million offer sheet on forward Spencer Jones, keeping the restricted free agent, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Denver prioritized retaining the homegrown wing it signed as an undrafted rookie in 2024, even though the match carries a steep tax and apron cost. Jones carved out a rotation role last season, starting 37 games and shooting 39.6 percent from three, then shot an NBA-best 69.2 percent from deep in a small playoff sample. Back in Denver in a modest role, he stays a 3-and-D wing with deep league appeal for his shooting, but his low scoring volume caps his standard league value.

Free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga has been tied to Cleveland in a proposed sign-and-trade framework that could send Max Strus and second-round pick capital to Atlanta, per Evan Sidery. The idea reflects real mutual interest between the Cavaliers and Kuminga, who likes coach Kenny Atkinson from their Golden State days, per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. Kuminga, 23, averaged 12.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 16 games for Atlanta after a midseason trade. In Cleveland, he would have to carve out usage alongside Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and James Harden, capping his redraft ceiling, though his youth keeps him appealing in dynasty. Strus would boost Atlanta's shooting if moved.

Free-agent guard Johnny Juzang is in advanced negotiations with Fenerbahce, per Eurohoops. The deal would move him to the EuroLeague after he left Zenit St. Petersburg in June. The 25-year-old spent three seasons with the Jazz and had a brief stint with the Timberwolves before joining Zenit in February. He averaged 14.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 0.8 steals across 17 VTB League games. Fenerbahce is targeting Juzang as a replacement for Tarik Biberovic, who moved to Dallas. For NBA fantasy, Juzang has been off the radar since leaving Minnesota, and a EuroLeague deal would keep him off redraft and dynasty boards.

The Philadelphia 76ers have waived guard Dalen Terry, the team announced, clearing apron space to finalize the LeBron James signing and create room for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The No. 18 pick in 2022, Terry joined Philadelphia on a two-way deal last February and earned a standard contract down the stretch, averaging 4.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 14 games. A defensive-minded athlete who has never carried offensive value, the 24-year-old now hits free agency. This cut opens no rotation minutes for any rostered Sixer, so there is no fantasy ripple, and at least one more Philadelphia move is coming to fit both additions under the hard cap.

Free-agent forward/center Maxi Kleber is reportedly a target for Hapoel Tel Aviv, per Eurohoops, as the German veteran weighs a return to Europe. The 34-year-old stretch big made 483 NBA appearances over nine seasons, mostly with the Dallas Mavericks before the Luka Doncic trade sent him to the Lakers. Injuries derailed his final Lakers season, limiting him to 43 games at 2.0 points and 2.0 rebounds while he shot 23.1 percent from three. The Lakers renounced his free-agent rights this month and are not expected to bring him back. A EuroLeague move would take Kleber off the NBA board, though he already offered no fantasy value last season.

Forward Harrison Ingram is joining the Utah Jazz after two seasons on two-way deals with San Antonio, the team announced. The 48th pick in the 2024 draft became an unrestricted free agent when the Spurs pulled his qualifying offer, having appeared in just 12 NBA games over two years. His value lives in the G League, where the Dallas native stuffed the box score for the Austin Spurs, averaging 14.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. Terms weren't disclosed, leaving it unclear whether Ingram is on a standard deal, two-way contract, or camp pact. For fantasy, he stays off the radar outside the deepest G-league-aware dynasty formats.

The Houston Rockets signed forward Julian Phillips to a training camp contract, the team announced. The 35th pick in the 2023 draft, Phillips lands his third NBA home after Minnesota declined his option in June, months removed from the February trade that sent him from Chicago to the Timberwolves. Still 22, the explosive athlete has never found a role, averaging 3.6 points and 1.5 rebounds across 167 career games. His deal is reportedly non-guaranteed, leaving him to compete for one of Houston's final roster spots. A career 32.0 percent three-point shooter, Phillips has yet to show a bankable fantasy skill, leaving him off the radar unless he first wins a roster spot and steady minutes.

Free-agent center Nick Richards could be a fit to back up Joel Embiid in Philadelphia, Evan Sidery suggests, floating him as the primary reserve big to round out a second unit that will include expected buyout addition Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Richards, 28, is an unrestricted free agent after last season's trade sent him from Phoenix to Chicago. The 6-foot-11 rim-runner is a high-percentage finisher and rebounder who averaged 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds in a larger role with Charlotte in 2024-25. This is speculation, not reported interest, so temper expectations. Given Embiid's knee history, whoever backs him up carries deep-league appeal, making Richards worth monitoring if Philadelphia signs him.

The Memphis Grizzlies and guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have agreed to a buyout, and he plans to sign a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers once he clears waivers, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The two-time champion reunites with LeBron James, his 2020 title teammate in Los Angeles, on a roster that also features Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown. Caldwell-Pope, 33, averaged 8.4 points and shot just 31.6 percent from three across 51 games before season-ending finger surgery in February. He gives Philadelphia veteran 3-and-D depth, but a crowded wing rotation caps his minutes and leaves him a deep-league flier at most in redraft.

The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a one-year deal with guard Kobe Bufkin, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The No. 15 pick in 2023, Bufkin has played 43 NBA games across three seasons with the Hawks and Lakers, but he revived his stock last season, averaging 24.8 points on 41.9 percent from three for the G League's South Bay Lakers before dropping 21.3 per game in Summer League. This is a training camp deal, and he will battle for an open roster spot behind Dejounte Murray and Jeremiah Fears. Bufkin is a deep-dynasty flier, but he must make the team and earn minutes before he holds any redraft value.

Denver Nuggets restricted free-agent forward Spencer Jones has agreed to a two-year, $12 million offer sheet with the Oklahoma City Thunder, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Denver has until Sunday to match the fully guaranteed deal. Jones, a 6-7 3-and-D wing, was pressed into a bigger role by injuries last season, starting 37 of 64 games and averaging 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 39.6 percent from three. He torched the playoffs at an NBA-best 69.2 percent from deep. His fantasy value stays thin either way: a deep-league three-point specialist in Denver and likely buried down a crowded Thunder rotation if he leaves. Monitor whether the Nuggets match.

Free-agent guard/forward Tyrese Martin has officially signed a one-year deal with FC Barcelona, the club announced. Martin, 27, spent parts of three NBA seasons with the Hawks, Nets and 76ers, appearing in 122 games and averaging 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists as a 3-and-D wing. His best stretch came in 2024-25 under Jordi Fernandez in Brooklyn, where he shot 35.1 percent from deep across 60 games. Waived by the Nets last February, he finished the year on a two-way with Philadelphia before heading overseas. For NBA fantasy, Martin was never more than a deep-league three-point streamer, so his EuroLeague move barely registers outside the deepest dynasty formats.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden is in active talks on a team-friendly multiyear extension, according to Evan Sidery. Harden, 36, declined his $42.3 million player option to give the Cavaliers flexibility to chase LeBron James, and with James now in Philadelphia, a longer deal is expected. He was excellent after arriving at last season's deadline, averaging 20.5 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds on 46.6 percent shooting, including 43.5 percent from deep, across 26 games. Locked in as Cleveland's lead playmaker next to Donovan Mitchell, Harden stays a reliable source of points, assists, and threes in redraft, though his age makes him a clear sell-high hold in dynasty.

Free-agent forward Tosan Evbuomwan has reportedly reached a two-year agreement with FC Barcelona, per Eurohoops. The 25-year-old spent last season on a two-way deal with the Charlotte Hornets but never played an NBA game for them, instead winning G-League Finals MVP as he led their Greensboro Swarm affiliate to a title. His 50 career NBA games span the Nets, Pistons, Knicks, and Grizzlies, almost all on two-way pacts. He now joins a rebuilding Barca roster under new coach Aleksander Sekulic. For NBA fantasy, the EuroLeague jump closes the book on him: a deep-dynasty flier at most, he comes off redraft and dynasty boards entirely.

Free agent forward DeMar DeRozan has drawn interest from the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors, per Evan Sidery, with both teams pivoting after missing on LeBron James. DeRozan, 36, would join a title contender at the veteran's minimum after the Kings waived him. He averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals last season, down from 22.2 points the year prior. Any contender role trims his usage: Miami would slot him behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, while Golden State would deploy him as a second-unit shot creator. His threes are limited, and the defensive numbers are only decent, but DeRozan's free-throw volume still matters in 9-category leagues. He would be more of a low-ceiling source of points, efficiency, and FT% than a true across-the-board producer, while his age leaves little dynasty appeal.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is negotiating a buyout and intends to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers to reunite with LeBron James, according to Chris Haynes. Caldwell-Pope, 33, won the 2020 title alongside James in Los Angeles and would slot into a loaded rotation fronted by James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists last season and shot 31.6 percent from three in 51 games before season-ending finger surgery in February. On a likely veteran-minimum deal behind that crowded group, he would hold little redraft value, sit on deep league radars at most, and offer almost no dynasty appeal.
