After playing multiple professional seasons in France, Traoré agreed to a two-way deal with the Lakers last June. He only appeared in nine games last season, averaging 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 7.4 minutes. Traoré stands to take on a more prominent role with ASVEL than he would have enjoyed with any NBA team in 2025-26.

With Thomas being a restricted free agent and most teams lacking the cap space needed to produce an offer sheet that the Nets would not match, the franchise holds all the leverage in the negotiations. According to Fischer, “the Nets’ offers to date have not exceeded two-year proposals featuring an annual average value in the range of the league’s $14.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception.” And those offers include a team option for the second season. Thomas can continue to play the “waiting game” in hopes of landing a more lucrative proposal from the Nets, and there’s also the possibility of accepting his qualifying offer, which would make him an unrestricted free agent next summer. Given Brooklyn’s lack of proven scorers, sticking around could boost his fantasy value, especially in points leagues.

Giddey is one of the notable restricted free agents who has been unable to negotiate a deal this offseason. While the point guard and the Bulls are mutually interested in continuing their partnership after a solid 2024-25 season, the money remains a sticking point. According to Cowley, Giddey’s camp went into last season hoping for a deal on par with the one Jalen Suggs received from the Magic, playing an average annual salary of $30 million. The Bulls took a more cautious approach, possibly impacted by Patrick Williams’ disappointing play after receiving a surprising extension worth $90 million. Giddey can sign his qualifying offer worth $11 million, which would allow him to go into unrestricted free agency next summer, but that may be viewed as a “last resort.” Staying in Chicago would be best for Giddey’s fantasy value after finishing last season as a top-60 player in nine-cat formats.

Despite Chicago’s recent lack of on-court success, Charania reports that Donovan — who’s gone 195–205 over the last five seasons — is still viewed as a respected leader within the organization. He’ll remain in the Windy City for the foreseeable future as the Bulls embark on a long-term rebuild following the departures of cornerstones DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.

Davison appeared in just 36 games for the Celtics across his first three NBA seasons, but he most recently won G League MVP. Houston’s rotation is one of the deepest in the Association, so Davison shouldn’t be expected to see meaningful minutes right away.

Cain appeared in 37 games for the Pelicans last season after spending his first two seasons with the Heat organization. On a two-way deal, the 6-foot-6 wing appeared in 37 NBA games in 2024-25, averaging 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.6 minutes. Outside of the occasional solid performance as the Pelicans were playing out the string, Cain did not impact fantasy basketball. That’s likely to be the case in Orlando next season.

While Simmons’ career has not panned out the way many expected it to, his playmaking and defensive abilities mean there is interest in the free agent forward. In his report, Windhorst mentioned the Kings, Suns, Knicks and Celtics as teams linked with Simmons. The potential impact on fantasy basketball will depend on the location and Simmons’ health, which has been problematic for most of his NBA career. He played in 51 games last season between the Nets and Clippers, averaging 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.7 steals in 22.0 minutes.

The report also included the Kings and Suns as potential sign-and-trade options for Kuminga, which means he could remain in the Pacific Division no matter what. Kuminga will be the first domino to fall for Golden State, whenever that happens, and they will look to add other free agents after they figure out whether or not Kuminga is staying.

While the Pistons are a playoff team with a deep rotation, Jones will serve as valuable depth in Detroit.

Traded to the Wizards on July 8, Wesley agreed to a contract buyout and became an unrestricted free agent. He’s now headed to Portland on a one-year deal that will be fully guaranteed. Wesley offered little fantasy value during his time with the Spurs, and that’s unlikely to change in Portland. In addition to the offseason acquisition of Jrue Holiday, the Blazers return Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, who will play plenty.

Jones-Garcia was one of the stars of the summer, playing exceptionally well for the Spurs in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. After his showing at the latter tournament, he was named a first-team All-Summer League player. Jones-Garcia garnered interest from Greek power Olympiacos. However, the player turned down the offer, and he has reportedly agreed to a two-way contract with the Spurs. While San Antonio’s perimeter depth will make it difficult for Jones-Garcia to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball, he’s sticking with a franchise he’s comfortable with.

With Utah trading John Collins, there’s an opening in the starting lineup for the 21-year-old power forward.

Okogie was waived by the Hornets last week. The 26-year-old shooting guard has averaged just 6.3 points per game over the course of his eight-year career, but offers substantially more on the defensive end. Okogie ranked behind only Dyson Daniels and Alex Caruso in steals per 100 possessions last season (min. 600 minutes played). Okogie continues to add to the depth the Rockets have built up this offseason.

To say the restricted free agency market has been harsh would be an understatement, as there has been little movement for multiple players. That includes Kuminga, the subject of some sign-and-trade rumors at the beginning of free agency. While Phoenix, who has moved on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, is reportedly interested in the athletic forward, getting him would be difficult. In addition to the Warriors having the right to match any offer sheet that Kuminga would sign, the Suns lack the necessary assets, especially draft capital, to make something happen. Phoenix has the cap space following the Durant and Beal exits, but the price paid to land those two stars has left the cupboard bare otherwise.

The twelve-time All-Star will fill out a limited role as the backup point guard behind James Harden in his 21st season, which will likely prevent him from making a consistent impact in fantasy basketball.
