POR • Guard-Forward • #21
The 2023 second-round pick has flashed some upside throughout his first two seasons in the NBA, but he hasn’t seen the floor much. At 21 years old, Rupert still has plenty of time to figure things out, but it is unlikely that his place in the rotation changes next season. He’ll become a restricted free agent next summer.

Having begun his college career at North Carolina, Love played his final two seasons at Arizona. In his first and only season in the Big 12, the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game. Shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the foul line, Love never shied away from the big moment, but the shot selection and efficiency left something to be desired at times. That said, his turnover average decreased in each of his five seasons. Love will likely spend more time with the Rip City Remix, but he is a fun scoring option that is worth taking a chance on for Portland.

Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, Coward will be traded to the Grizzlies for the No. 16 pick, a 2028 first-round pick via Orlando and two future second-round picks. The move makes sense for Memphis after they traded Desmond Bane to Orlando. Coward started out his collegiate career with D3 Willamette before spending two years at Eastern Washington and his final season at Washington State. The 6’5, 213 pound wing averaged 17.7 points, seven boards, 3.7 assists, 2.5 “stocks,” and two triples per game while shooting eye-popping 60/40/84 splits. Coward can rebound and facilitate at a high level, but his biggest strengths are three-point shooting and defense, making him a solid three-and-D prospect at the next level. He’ll be a great fit alongside Ja Morant in Memphis’ backcourt.

Thybulle is in the final year of a three-year, $33 million deal he signed with Portland in 2023, and he’ll be back for at least one more season. The French forward is a three-and-D specialist who holds much more value on the basketball court than he does in fantasy lineups. He can be left on the waiver wire in 2025-26 fantasy drafts.

The 39-year-old Temple said at the end of the Raptors’ season that he wanted to keep playing. He’ll do so with the Raptors for a third consecutive season. Temple only played in 28 games in 2024-25, but he has been an essential figure for the rebuilding Raptors within the locker room. However, he won’t impact fantasy basketball next season.

Traded to Milwaukee at the February deadline, Porter had his moments during the regular season and the Bucks’ first-round series against the Pacers. His option for the 2025-26 season would have paid Porter $2.5 million, so the decision to test the open market is not a surprise. With Damian Lillard (Achilles) set to miss most of next season, if not all of it, and Ryan Rollins being a restricted free agent, the Bucks have a clear need at point guard. However, they don’t have much money to spend in free agency.

Batum’s option for the 2025-26 season was worth $4.9 million. While there’s likely to be interest in the veteran forward among teams with postseason ambitions, Batum is not guaranteed to leave the Clippers. According to Charania, Batum and the Clippers have a mutual interest in agreeing to a new deal.
