More Fantasy Basketball: Free agency roundup 1.0
The big names are largely out of the picture, but there is still a lot of relevant news on Fantasy coming out of the free NBA agency.
DeMarcus Cousins, Golden State Warriors
The Contract: One Year, $ 5.3 Million
What it Means: Cousins played only 48 games before tearing his Achilles at the end of January last season. Before the injury, he was preparing for a great season in his first full year with Anthony Davis, averaging 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and a combination of 3.2 blocks / interceptions. Because of the injury, the presumption of the free agency was that pelicans would offer Cousins some sort of evidence to protect the team in case he was not the same player as he was. was before. Either this deal never came, or Cousins liked more the idea of playing for Golden State, because he will wear a Warriors uniform in 2018 and 1919.
The big man mentioned earlier in the offseason that he hoped to be in good health. Training camp, but Golden State will probably be cautious because there is no need to push him back and risk a new injury. The Fantasy value of Cousins is hard to evaluate. He will be registered as a starter, but his minutes will be inherently limited, and his cast of everyone means that Cousins will not be able to approach the high rates of use that he has. created in recent years. The bottom line is that no one knows what to expect. A situation like this is totally unprecedented – both in a fantastic basketball sense and a sense of basketball – and it may take several months before we can assess how Cousins is doing. integrates in what is undoubtedly the most talented lineup of the NBA
Rajon Rondo, Los Angeles Lakers
The contract: One year, $ 8 million
What that It is unclear whether Rondo will start or exit bench for the Lakers, although he has not cracked 30 minutes per game in each of the past two seasons. Last year, however, he only needed 26.2 minutes per game to get an average of 8.2 assists, which gave him one of the best rates in the world. help from the league. That said, playing alongside LeBron James for large portions, Rondo can take the ball, as does the presence of Lonzo Ball, another point guard at first base. Rondo has proven that it can still be Fantasy-viable in limited minutes, but the move to Los Angeles probably means a drop in overall value.
Julius Randle, New Orleans Pelicans
The Contract: Two Years, 18 Million Dollars
What it Means: With LeBron (and Others) Arriving in Los Angeles , the organization was content to let Randle move on to another team to maintain financial flexibility. Although it was not publicly known at the time, pelicans were apparently not seriously interested in bringing back DeMarcus Cousins. This paved the way for New Orleans for her to sign another young frontcourt player alongside Anthony Davis.
It is possible that Randle leaves the bench while Nikola Mirotic starts on the front and E & # 39; Twaun Moore on the front. . But whatever the fate of the starting lineup, Randle will always be a key element to his natural forefront, as well as in the center of the little ball. It's hard to imagine Randle in less than 26.7 minutes per game that he reaped last season, while he had on average 16.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2, 6 assists.
Elfrid Payton, New Orleans Pelicans
The Contract: 2.7 Million Dollars
What it Means: The Payton Stock Has Drastically Falled Over the Last Year . The Suns, who acquired Payton at the trade deadline last year in exchange for a second round pick, informed him before the free agency that they were interested in re-signing. In the end, it seemed like he might not be able to land a starting point. But with Rajon Rondo now in Los Angeles, Payton is getting into the opportunity to start alongside Jrue Holiday. That said, there is a chance that Payton will leave the bench if coach Alvin Gentry chooses to go on vacation to the leader surrounded by shooters. Anyway, Payton has landed in one of the few places where he should see a meaningful race with a chance to set up numbers like what we used to see from him in Orlando.
JaVale McGee, Los Angeles Lakers
The Contract: One Year, $ 2.1 Million
What it Means: McGee Can Leave the Bench For Short Stays Again , as Ivica Zubac seems to be the favorite for starting center work. Moritz Wagner and Channing Frye are also options at the post if coach Luke Walton wants to focus on the spacing of the floors. McGee could see a higher use than he did at Golden State, but I would not count on him to see more than 15 minutes a night. The last time McGee saw at least 15 minutes per game was 2013-14, while he averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks for the Nuggets.
J.J. Redick, Philadelphia 76ers
The Contract: One Year, $ 12.5 Million
What it Means: After playing on an inflated contract, $ 23 million last season, Redick took a dramatic cut for the upcoming season, which should help the financial flexibility of the Sixers during the rest of the free agency and / or the trade deadline. Unless the management moves drastically, Redick's role should remain pretty much the same and he could even see a slight increase in production with the addition of Marco Belinelli to San Antonio
Salah Mejri, Dallas Mavericks
One Year, 1.6 Million Dollars
What it Means: With DeAndre Jordan finally going to Dallas, Mejri's role will likely be reduced, especially after Dwight Powell showed flashes last season. It would be a big surprise if Mejri is relevant to Fantasy
Nerlens Noel, Oklahoma City Thunder
The Contract: One Year, 1.6 Million Dollars
What it Means: Noel would have turned down an offer of $ 70 million over four years from the Mavericks last season. It's hard to say, but it's a decision that he probably regrets. However, Noel will now join a team more prepared to play in the playoffs. While he'll be essentially stuck behind Steven Adams, who played 32.7 minutes per game last season, Noel is not a stranger in setting up quality issues in limited action. Two seasons ago, he saw 20.5 minutes per game and averaged 8.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and a total of 2.3 interceptions / blocks. Noel can be worth taking a risk in the deeper leagues. If Adams falls with an injury, Noel becomes a must-have in all formats.
Derrick Favors, Utah Jazz
The Contract: Two Years, 36 Million Dollars
What it Means: Questions Remain About Favors' Adequacy Alongside Rudy Gobert, not to mention his history of injuries. However, considering Utah 's recent playoff success, letting someone as talented as Favors pull it all by himself would have been a tough decision. It seems unlikely that his workload will change significantly, as the Jazz are essentially returning to the same list as last season. Look for Favors to continue playing a bit of a super-sixth man role, earning minutes in the mid-high-20s.
Anthony Tolliver, Minnesota Timberwolves
The Contract: One Year, $ 5.5 Million [19659003] What it Means: General Manager / Coach Tom Thibodeau essentially expelled Nemanja Bjelica and it has been replaced by Tolliver. As such, I expect Tolliver to absorb Bjelica's role, which means 20.5 minutes per game last season. However, this number was largely completed by departures as a result of Jimmy Butler's knee injury. In 22.2 minutes per game for the Pistons last season, Tolliver posted 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds. It can continue to be transmitted in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
Jose Calderon, Detroit Pistons
The Contract: One Year, 2.4 Million Dollars
What it Means: Calderon Joins Both Ish Smith and Jameer Nelson, in As long as reserve, keep options for coach Dwane Casey. At this stage of his career, Calderon is, more or less, an elite scorer who can bring back the ball. He has evolved past the Cleveland Bowl last season, but he is one of the league's worst defenders, and it's hard to imagine that he'll play enough of time to be useful even in the deepest leagues
Seth Curry, Portland Trail Blazers
The Contract: Two Years, $ 5.9 Million
What it Means: A Injury to the leg kept Curry set aside for the entire 2017-18 season. He did, however, a breakaway the previous year, averaging 29.0 minutes per game and averaging 12.8 points, 2.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds, while shooting 42.5. % three times. Curry will probably not see the same type of race with Portland considering that he is behind Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum on the depth chart. But he could end up in a sixth role of combo guard, filling up the space left vacant by the likely departure of free agent Shabazz Napier unrestricted. If that's the case, he should have some interest in Fantasy, although he did not turn out to be much more than a three-point specialist.
Avery Bradley, The Clippers
The Contract: Two Years, $ 25 Million
What it Means: Bradley was traded to the Clippers against the Pistons at the end of January, well that he played only six games in Los Angeles because of a persistent abdominal injury. His first year outside of Boston was not great, as he saw most of his figures slide across the board. Even assuming he's bouncing to a certain extent, Bradley generally does not display any favorable numbers for Fantasy's success – his extreme rebound rate two seasons ago now looks like a major anomaly – as he is mainly a first-aid guard who is better in real life than
Michael Carter-Williams, Houston rockets
The contract: One year, the veteran's minimum
What it means: This one is a bit of a headache, but The Rockets are apparently the last team to be intrigued by the size of Carter-Williams and his perceived ability to pass. Fortunately, Chris Paul and James Harden being on the list, we will not ask Carter-Williams to do much. He played 52 games with the Hornets last season, averaging 4.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 33.2 percent from the floor – the lowest mark in the league among players who have attempted at least 200 goals.
