Recent Transactions


Danilo Gallinari is finalizing a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gallinari was most recently waived by the Pistons. He'll add a veteran presence to the locker room for Milwaukee, but remains off the fantasy radar.


Thaddeus Young is finalizing a deal to join the Phoenix Suns. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Young, who spent the past couple of seasons in Toronto, will provide some depth in the front court off the bench for the Suns. He'll likely remain off the fantasy radar.


Bismack Biyombo is signing a minimum deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Biyombo spent much of the season on the Grizzlies before being waived by them back in January. He is now signing a deal to join Oklahoma City for the remainder of the season, which helps to add some depth to their roster. He likely won't be a big part of the rotation and remains a fringe streaming option at best for fantasy purposes.


Spencer Dinwiddie plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers after he clears waivers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dinwiddie was waived by the Raptors after being traded from the Nets. He should add some depth in the back court for the Lakers. His fantasy value likely takes a slight hit from what it was in Brooklyn, but his role will be something to monitor.


Mason Jones signed a two-way deal with the Sacramento Kings. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jones had been playing with the Stockton Kings, the Sacramento Kings G League affiliate. He'll look to earn a role in the rotation with Sacramento.


The Utah Jazz have waived Kevin Knox II. (Source: Utah Jazz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Knox will look to land with a new team. He'll likely remain off the fantasy radar no matter where he lands.


The Sacramento Kings are signing guard Keon Ellis on a new three-year contract. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ellis had been on a two-way deal. He remains off the fantasy radar.


The Charlotte Hornets have waived Frank Ntilikina. (Source: Charlotte Hornets on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ish Smith was also waived. If LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains sidelined, recently acquired Tre Mann could start at point guard next game for the Hornets.

GG Jackson has agreed on a four-year contract with the Grizzlies that includes three guaranteed seasons. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The contract comes on the same night in which Jackson dropped a career-high 27 points. He has scored in double figures in six of his past seven games as he continues to take advantage of his extended opportunity with a short-handed Memphis front court.


The Pacers are waiving Cory Joseph. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Joseph was traded to Indiana ahead of the deadline Thursday afternoon. He'll remain off the fantasy radar wherever he lands.


James Bouknight is being waived by the Hornets. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Hornets picked Bouknight with the 11th overall pick in the draft a few years ago, but now his time with the team is coming to an end. They are waiving him to make roster space after Thursday's trade deadline, and he will be on the hunt for a new team. Fantasy managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire for the time being.


Furkan Korkmaz is set to be waived by the Indiana Pacers. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Korkmaz was sent to Indiana as part of the package that Philadelphia put together to acquire Buddy Hield, but he's not going to last as a Pacer. The team is waiving him, and he will begin the process of finding a new team. It remains to be seen if there will be much interest for him, and he's not likely to carry much fantasy value even if he does find a landing spot.


The Memphis Grizzlies have waived Victor Oladipo. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Oladipo was recently traded in a move that sent Steven Adams to the Rockets. He is set to be a free agent this offseason.


The Nuggets have traded the draft rights to 2022 second-round pick Ismael Kamagate to the Clippers in exchange for cash. (Source: Law Murray on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kamagate is still playing in Europe. This is not a fantasy relevant move for this season.


The Boston Celtics are trading Dalano Banton to the Portland Trail Blazers for a heavily protected second-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Blanton has appeared in 24 games this season with Boston. He'll remain off the fantasy radar with the Trail Blazers.


The Toronto Raptors are keeping Bruce Brown Jr. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brown was traded to Toronto last month in the move that sent Pascal Siakam to the Pacers. He should remain in his reserve role moving forward with the Raptors, limiting his fantasy appeal when coming off the bench.


The 76ers are trading Jaden Springer to the Celtics for a second-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Springer recently saw his first start of the season with the 76ers. He remains off the fantasy radar, but should help Boston defensively.


The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Robin Lopez to the Sacramento Kings. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Bucks are also sending cash in the deal. Lopez is expected to be waived and he'll become a free agent. He remains off the fantasy radar.


The Spurs are trading Doug McDermott to the Pacers. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: San Antonio is acquiring a future second-round pick in return. McDermott is shooting 44 percent from deep so far this season. He'll add some shooting to the second unit for the Pacers, but remains off the fantasy radar.
