LeBron James is drawing interest from the Golden State Warriors as he looks likely to hit free agency this week. The Warriors are also reportedly targeting Anthony Davis. (Source: Yahoo Sports)

Fantasy Impact: James has some history of success with Curry, notably at the 2024 Olympics, and this could give the Warriors a shot at getting James at a discount not seen before. They have the assets to make it work, and pairing LeBron with Steph and Draymond to their younger pieces to back them up is enticing. If they can pry the oft-injured Davis from the Wizards and if he can stay healthy, all the better. As for James himself, he's at the stage of his career where he is still very productive, but can't shoulder the load like he used to. Wherever he ends up, he will still be a premier fantasy option.

Rui Hachimura is expected to draw interest from the Nets and Spurs in free agency this offseason.

Fantasy Impact: Hachimura figures to be one of the more highly sought after players when free agency begins. His fantasy value will be dependent on the situation he is entering.

It is officially the richest contract for an undrafted player in NBA history. The next step for the Lakers will be to see if they re-sign LeBron James in free agency.

Fantasy Impact: Vanderbilt did not play in Thursday’s Game 2 loss due to a dislocated finger. His status will need to be monitored closer to tip-off.

Luke Kennard was added to the injury report as questionable for Game 2 against the Thunder on Thursday with a neck injury.

Fantasy Impact: This is the first time Kennard has popped up on the injury report due to neck soreness, and his status for Game 2 is now in question. If the three-point specialist is unable to suit up, Bronny James may see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Jake LaRavia is off the injury report for Game 3 on Friday against the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: LaRavia came out of the Lakers Game 2 win with a minor ankle sprain. He will be good to go in his usual role on Friday.
