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.

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.

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 his first season in Philadelphia being a disappointment, Gordon will return to the City of Brotherly Love for another run. Before a wrist injury ended his season in late February, the veteran guard made 39 appearances (13 starts) and averaged a career-low 6.8 points with 1.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 three-pointers. A positive for Gordon was that he shot nearly 41 percent from three. His contract is for the veteran’s minimum, and fantasy managers should not expect too much from Gordon if the 76ers manage to remain healthy.

McCain played like one of the best rookies in the NBA last season before a knee injury ended his rookie campaign in mid-December. While he is expected to be ready to go when the 2025-26 season begins, the 76ers are taking a conservative approach to McCain’s recovery. He won’t play during Summer League, which means the ball should be in lottery pick VJ Edgecombe’s hands even more. During his media availability on Tuesday, the rookie said he’ll be sharpening his point guard skills during Summer League. The ability to play on or off the ball would boost Edgecombe’s value, especially in dynasty leagues.

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.
