Harden held a player option worth a little over $36.3 million for the 2025-26 season, which he declined. His decision to opt out and agree to a new deal gives the Clippers added financial flexibility, as the second year is a partially-guaranteed player option. Returning to Los Angeles has given Harden’s career a needed boost after disappointing stints with the Nets and 76ers. “The Beard” finished last season as a top-10 player in eight-cat formats and top-15 in nine-cat. Given his importance to the Clippers, Harden should again be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts.

New York swapped picks with the Clippers, which means Sanders will return to California. After four seasons at Cal Poly, Sanders made the move to Reno for his final season of college basketball. The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per game, shooting 46 percent from the field and 79.5 percent from the foul line last season. While Sanders has excellent size and instincts for a playmaker, his athleticism does not jump off the tape, and there is still work for him to do as a perimeter shooter. The 23-year-old will likely struggle to crack the Clippers’ rotation. The Knicks also acquired the draft rights to Luka Mitrovic, who was the 60th overall pick in 2015.

Gillespie played his first season with Phoenix on a two-way deal, but he’ll get a standard contract after solid play in 2024-25. Gillespie could see meaningful rotation minutes for a new-look Suns team that’s still figuring out its identity post-Kevin Durant.

Over the last two seasons, the UCLA product has averaged just over eight points and 1.7 triples while shooting 38.4% from downtown. He should have no problem landing with a new team that can utilize his floor-spacing abilities.

Not long after deciding to decline Mitchell’s team option, the Thunder have secured his immediate future in Oklahoma City. The 38th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Mitchell averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his 36 appearances. A toe injury suffered on January 3 sidelined him for over three months. Mitchell does not offer much fantasy value in his role, but he’ll provide additional depth off the Thunder bench.
