Redick led the Lakers to a 50-32 record during his first season as a head coach, though they fell to Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs. However, after initially signing a four-year deal last June, the Lakers want to ensure he’s around longer than that, though the exact terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Redick will look to cater this offense to the strengths of Luka Doncic, who they traded for in February, while still getting the most out of LeBron James and Austin Reaves.

Galloway, who briefly spent time on a two-way deal with the Bucks in 2024, though he never appeared in a game for them, had been playing for the Sydney Kings prior to this. However, after asking to be released from his contract, he has found a new home that won’t require him to move to a different country.

Paschall has spent time in Puerto Rico, Italy and China since he last played in the NBA in 2022. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 14.0 points per game for the Warriors as a rookie and 9.5 points per game as a sophomore, but after spending his third season in Utah, he wasn’t able to find a new team to suit up for. His career will continue to take him around the world, though a return to the NBA seems unlikely at this point.

Wigginton spent a few years with the Bucks, but he has been playing in the Chinese Basketball Association since Milwaukee waived him in February of 2024. The 28-year-old guard will likely continue to play overseas, and a return to the NBA seems unlikely at this point.

Mann is headed to Cleveland after two-plus seasons in Charlotte, where he occupied a reserve role on most nights. Appearing in 53 games in 2025-26, the former first-round pick averaged 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 12.6 minutes. With Cleveland’s backcourt being headlined by Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, Mann is unlikely to be in a position where he can offer reliable fantasy value.

The Cavaliers also sent cash considerations to the Hornets as part of the deal. According to various reports, the Cavaliers had been trying to offload Schröder’s contract since the NBA Draft. In this trade, they’ll save around $6 million in cap space. The Hornets will upgrade their backcourt depth here in the wake of trading LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves. Charlotte will be Schröder’s 12th team, bringing him one away from tying Ish Smith’s record for most teams played for. The 32-year-old point guard averaged 10.8 points and 4.9 assists in 70 games last season.

The 57th overall pick in the 2025 draft, Shulga is headed overseas after one season with the Celtics organization. The 6-foot-5 guard saw most of his time in the G League, making just 11 appearances for Boston as a rookie. Shulga has agreed to a two-year deal with Real Madrid.

After a rough 2025-26 season in which he was limited to six games due to injury, Beal opted out of the second year of his deal to become an unrestricted free agent. While there was reportedly interest from the Heat, the veteran guard has decided to remain with the Clippers on a two-year deal. If healthy, Beal can offer excellent value to managers in points leagues. However, availability has been an issue, with the 33-year-old guard having last played at least 60 games in a season in 2020-21.

For the deal to be finalized, Thompson’s departure frees up a two-way contract for the Pacers. That gives the team, which is hard-capped at the first apron, another possible avenue to sign second-round pick Braden Smith. While he could also be signed to a deal paying the rookie minimum, Smith on a two-way deal would give the Pacers a little more financial flexibility.

After spending four seasons in Miami, Highsmith was dealt to Brooklyn ahead of last season. They waived him in February, though he never appeared in a game for the Nets. Phoenix signed him after that, and he suited up seven times for them before last season ended. The 29-year-old will enter free agency following an injury-riddled season, which stemmed from a knee surgery that he underwent last August.

The 2022 first-round pick spent the last four seasons in the NBA, most recently on a two-way deal with the 76ers. However, his career will continue internationally, though the 25-year-old may make a return to the NBA in the future.
