Bucks acquires Kyle Kuzma from Washington

Milwaukee transferred a key collaborator on Wednesday to his 2021 title team, sending Khris Middleton, the Novell Aj Johnson Guard and a 2028 selection exchange to the Wizards in exchange for Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a future second round selection. Middleton, who underwent surgery on the two ankles this past season, has been a shell of himself as he works his way back from these procedures. While the production had improved, it was just asking if Middleton would return to the scorer of the wing that was pre-stuck. Bucks could not afford to wait long, as the team is very much in “win-now” mode due to the presence of Giannis Antekounmpo and Damian Lillard.

As for Middleton’s fantasy potential in Washington, it doesn’t look good. The magicians have two wings that were the first rounds: Bilal Coulibaly (second year) and Kyshawn George (rookie). They need to play, and there are also Rookies Bub Carrington and Alexandre Sarr in the positions of the Point and the Center. The development of the players has been the focus of Washington and the Middleton Time Line does not adapt to this. Although the managers who have classified it should not rush to drop Middleton, the hope is that it will end where the play time will be guaranteed for the rest of the season.

Although he did not offer much great value to Washington this season, Kuzma can be able to change it in Milwaukee. It is part of a line of veterans that seeks to compete for a championship and not to play a reconstruction staff that prioritizes the development of its young people. It can provide a space between antekounmpo, either as three older or as four if Milwaukee wants to use Giannis at five. Kuzma is better than the under-200 fantasy player who has been this season. Find that it is much more valuable for fantasy managers due to this trade. In addition to adding Kuzma to the mix, the bucks saved about $ 30 million on their luxury tax bill.

The other two players involved in this trade, Johnson and Baldwin, are unlikely to affect fantasy basketball. However, Johnson may be able to run in Washington due to the continuous reconstruction of this team.

Lakers acquire Hornets Mark Williams for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and two future options

For those who asked what the Lakers would do with their selection of the first round of 2031, this question was answered a little after midnight on Thursday morning. Needing to add a center to the rotation, the Lakers acquired Williams from Charlotte. The Hornets received Knecht, Reddish, the first 2031 (not protected) and a selection exchange in the first round of 2030.

Williams has a promise, but the availability and defensive end of the flat were concerns in Charlotte. It adapts to the profile of the athletic center that has prospered next to Luka Doncic in the past. The hope is that these two can form an association to drive the Lakers in the post-lebron era (whenever this happens). Losing Knecht and The Picks was a lot, but the Lakers bet on Williams (and themselves) with this trade.

Knecht can be the greatest winner of this movement in terms of short -term fantasy value. The wing did not offer much defensively while with the Lakers, which limited its time to the court. But if there is one thing that can do Knecht, it is a score. With Brandon Miller (wrist) for the rest of the season, Knecht will have wide opportunities to put points on the board, especially if he gets a little time with the Lamelo Ball (ankle) currently injured. As for Reddish, he had been far from the Lakers for personal reasons, and he has never been a fantasy asset. It is not necessary to leave him in the hope that he will be more in Charlotte.

Pelicans Trade Brandon Ingram in Toronto, receiving Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk and two options

Between his contract state and the appearance of Trey Murphy, it was clear that the long -term future of Ingram was unlikely to be in New Orleans. So he headed to Toronto in a trade that denied two players (Brown and Olynyk), a selection of the first round of 2026 through Indiana (Top-4 protected) and a selection of the second round of 2025. The Adaptation of Ingram in a rotation entitled by Zion Williamson was uncomfortable due to the space between the soil; It should not be a problem in Toronto. However, Ingram must stay healthy and raptors must re-sign it this summer.

Ingram has been out of action since the beginning of December with an ankle injury. He has not played more than 65 games in one season since his initial year (2016-17). Their health will determine whether or not it affects fantasy basketball this season, but it was productive in New Orleans before its most recent injury.

This is an interesting situation for players aimed at New Orleans. Brown, which has value between the contending equipment, can go to a purchase of contracts. If so, it is likely to be more valuable for a team struggling than for fantasy managers. The Olynyk contract for next season is guaranteed and the concern is how it affects Yves Missi and Karlo Markovic. The two rookies should play a lot down, but there have been times when Olynyk has offered a serious value of the “silly season” (remember that he went to Houston?). You don’t need to add Brown or Olynyk but watch for the latter.

Wizards sells Jonas Valanciunas in Sacramento

Valanciunas played well in Washington to deserve standard leagues despite being the backup of Alexandre Sarr in most nights. With this trade, this is probably changing, as it will back up one of the most productive centers in the NBA in Domantas Sabonis. It was worth keeping in deep leagues, but it is. It will probably be more valuable for kings than for fantasy managers.

In exchange for Valanciunas, the Wizards acquired Sidy Cissoko and two elections in the second round (2028 through Denver and a 2029 second). Cissoko was resigned on Thursday morning; This movement for Washington was more about the future capital project than adding a player.

Dallas, Philadelphia Exchange Caleb Martin for Quentin Grimes

After acquiring Anthony Davis from the Lakers, there was a feeling that the Mavericks would try to add a wing defender to the mixture. He enters Martin, who comes from Philadelphia with Dallas giving up Grimes and a selection of the second round of 2025. While 76ers coach Nick Nurse spoke a lot of Martin at the beginning of the season, this was not translated In a fantastic value. 5% of Yahoo leagues were out of the first 200 formats of 8 and 9 cats. His offensive roof is limited to Dallas, but the ability to defend should guarantee Martin a consistent play time.

Adding Grimes provides Philadelphia a young shooter to add to rotation, but the impact of fantasy will be minimal. Like Martin, Grimes is classified outside the first 200 and does not bring so much to the table defensively. Although it should be in the rotation of the 76ers, as they seek to bounce from the beginning of the season, Grimes is not a player that fantasy managers must be rushed to add.

Pelicans sells Daniel Theis in Oklahoma City

While Theis had his moments in New Orleans, starting the season as a starting center, his fantastic value was a significant success once the Rookie Yves Missi replaced him on the start line. So the veteran center goes to Oklahoma City with a selection of the second round of 2031 and the Pelicans receive cash in exchange. It is a cost reduction movement for New Orleans and the tro brings depth to the publication. Theis will be even less valuable for fantasy managers at Oklahoma City. Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams are in rotation and Chet Holmgren has been erased to return from the hip injury that he suffered on November 10.

Raptors send Davion Mitchell to Miami for Tucker, Picks

“Off Night” goes to South Beach, as raptors have exchanged Mitchell in Miami in exchange for PJ Tucker and two second round options. Due to the injuries of Immanuel Quickley, Mitchell had times this season where it was worthwhile to transmit assistance production. However, moving to Miami is likely that his fantasy roof is due to the presence of Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier. Mitchell can offer value as a defensive reserve, but this is not enough to deserve to be classified in fantasy leagues, unless someone ahead of rotation suffers from an injury. Tucker still does not have to play a game this season and it is difficult to imagine it adapting to the raptors.

Knicks sends Jericho Sims to Milwaukee

Sims played inconsistent minutes in New York, with beautiful Achiuwa and (more recently) Rookie Ariel Hukporti passing it in the rotation. Add the eventual performance of Mitchell Robinson (ankle), which has been authorized for complete contact, and no need to stand it. So Sims goes to Milwaukee, with the Bucks sending Delon Wright and cash to the Knicks. Like Sims, Wright fell in Milwaukee’s depth graph and is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball in New York. None of the players will affect fantasy basketball in their new houses.

Celtics Trade Jaden Springer in Houston

Springer could not win minutes of consistent rotation in Boston and headed for a team with depth on the perimeter. For the Celtics, who received a selection of the second round of 2031 (protected 55), this movement releases a sorting place and reduces the luxury tax bill. To direct a veteran who can contribute to the minimum of the veteran will be cheaper than to keep Springer, so he goes to Houston. The rockets also received a selection of the second round of 2030 in this movement that will not affect fantasy basketball.

76ers send KJ Martin to Detroit to obtain draft selections

Philadelphia made a cost measurement on Wednesday, merchant Martin and two elections in the second round (2027 through Milwaukee, 2031 through Dallas) in Detroit in exchange for cash. Recently, marched on a foot injury, Martin offered a minimum fantastic value when he was healthy. Although it may be able to give the pistons a depth of front, this movement will not affect fantasy basketball.
