With D’Angelo Russell in Dallas, Dinwiddie became the odd man out in the backcourt, and he’ll take on a backup role behind LaMelo Ball. Given Ball’s voluminous injury history, it wouldn’t be surprising if Dinwiddie played enough to make meaningful contributions for fantasy managers.

Acquired from the Thunder at the 2024 trade deadline, Mann was limited to 13 games last season due to a back injury. He did not play again after November 21 but averaged 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes. Mann can provide value off the bench as Charlotte’s backup point guard when healthy. However, he’s likely to be most useful in fantasy leagues next season when LaMelo Ball is unavailable due to injury.

Connaughton exercised his $9.4 million player option for next season within the last two weeks. With the Bucks in a precarious position as far as the salary cap is concerned, Milwaukee is sending two future second-round picks in 2031 and 2032 to offload his contract. Connaughton will remain in a bench role with the Hornets and doesn’t figure to impact fantasy basketball much at all next year.

It’s a sensible move for the Hornets, who sent center Mark Williams to the Suns on draft night. Now the 35-year-old Plumlee leaves the Suns for the Hornets in free agency. He figures to mostly serve as a veteran presence and mentor to Ryan Kalkbrenner, who the Hornets acquired with the No. 34 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Despite signing D’Angelo Russell, the Mavericks clearly needed more ball-handlers. Kyrie Irving (ACL) is set to miss a significant portion of the 2025-26 season, and Spencer Dinwiddie has signed with the Hornets. For this reason, according to Charania’s report, they’ll hold onto Exum for another season. Injuries limited him to 20 games last season, with the former lottery pick averaging 8.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes. Since returning to the NBA during the 2023-24 season, Exum has improved significantly as a shooter. The ability to handle the ball and defend multiple positions will help Dallas account for Irving’s absence, but Exum is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball dramatically.

The former University of Michigan standout is headed back to the state, as he has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Pistons. With Malik Beasley the subject of a gambling probe, Detroit could not afford not to add a bench scorer to their rotation. Between Cleveland and Atlanta, LeVert appeared in 64 games last season, averaging 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per game. LeVert finished the season ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat formats and should again be a late-round option in standard league drafts.
