The Bucks acquired Sims last year in the four-team trade that sent Khris Middleton to the Wizards and Kyle Kuzma also to the Bucks. The 26-year-old backup big man appeared in a career-high 53 games last year as well as all five of the Bucks’ playoff games. Sims isn’t much of a fantasy factor when the Bucks are at full strength.

This is another salary cap saving move by the Bucks so the team can afford to sign Myles Turner. While the Bucks only save $1.3 million in the trade acquiring Micic, the 31-year-old point guard is reportedly planning on going back to Europe rather than continue his NBA career. Micic is expected to give back a significant portion of the $8.1 million he’s owed in a buyout, which will give the Bucks the requisite space to sign Turner.

Harris is a solid flier for the Bucks to take as Milwaukee continues to try to add in the short-term despite salary cap constraints. The 30-year-old shooting guard has a reputation for being a plus defensive player and shot 43 percent from behind the three-point line as recently as the 2022-23 season. Harris is not without his drawbacks as he’s dealt with durability issues over the course of his career. He appeared in 48 games last year, but only averaged 14.3 minutes per game.

The Bucks chose to waive and stretch Lillard, who is likely to miss all of next season as he recovers from an Achilles tear. Milwaukee is able to stretch the $113 million still owed to Lillard over five season. This was a necessary move for the team to have the requisite space to sign free agent center Myles Turner. The Bucks had to get creative to give their roster an immediate upgrade.

Unsurprisingly, Ayton has decided to join the Lakers after agreeing with the Trail Blazers on a contract buyout. Los Angeles had a clear need at the center position, and they’ll look to the first overall pick in the 2018 draft to fill it. While he has averaged a double-double in his first seven seasons, Ayton’s last two years in Portland were underwhelming. Limited to 40 games last year due to injury, he averaged 14.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes. Ayton is not the uber-athletic center who tends to flourish playing alongside Luka Doncic, but he’ll play starter’s minutes for a hopeful contender. Being in a lineup with Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves will limit Ayton’s fantasy ceiling, but providing top-100 per-game value should not be an issue.

No surprise here as it’s been clear the Raptors covet Poeltl. The 29-year-old center’s name was kept out of trade discussions, including when the Raptors were calling on the availability of Kevin Durant before he was traded to Houston. Poeltl averaged 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds across 57 games for the Raptors last year. He’s locked in as the Raptors center for the next four years after picking up his player option and adding three additional years.

While Valanciunas’ production has declined over the last three years, the 33-year-old center has proven that he’s still durable appearing in 79, 82 and 81 games. After a midseason trade to the Kings last year, he adequately filled in for Domantas Sabonis while he dealt with injury. Valanciunas could offer the Nuggets similar big man insurance and have fantasy streaming value on nights Nikola Jokic takes off.
