Unsigned

Free Agent

Acquired from the Bulls in a three-team deal that also involved Minnesota, Gueye was expected to be waived at some point. In fact, Thursday’s transaction comes after Valencia Basket in Spain announced that the 6-foot-10 forward will be on its roster for the 2026-27 season. Gueye’s departure does not affect fantasy basketball, as he was not going to be in the Hornets’ rotation had he not agreed to a deal with Valencia.

In the aftermath of his exit from Sacramento, DeRozan was considered to be a player likely headed to a team with postseason ambitions. Miami, Cleveland and Denver have all expressed interest since the veteran wing hit free agency, and now Washington has reportedly worked its way into the mix. Given the number of young wings on the Wizards’ roster, adding DeRozan would create even more of a logjam, potentially limiting the short-term fantasy potential of a Kyshawn George or Will Riley.

The team’s official X account broke the news on Sunday, making the former No. 18 pick a free agent. The move could be part of the Sixers’ plan to clear roster space and salary cap to add Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who NBA insider Chris Haynes reported intends to sign with Philadelphia after being bought out by Memphis. Terry split time with the Bulls and Sixers last season, averaging 3.7 points across 48 games.

The 54th overall pick in the 2025 draft, Peter was on a two-way deal with the Pacers as a rookie. Indiana’s many injuries factored into the guard appearing in 38 games, and he averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.9 minutes. Monday’s transaction will free up a two-way slot for the Pacers, who now have Ethan Thompson and Kobe Brown signed to such deals.

The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, Smith appeared in 23 games as a rookie in Milwaukee before joining Dallas on a two-way deal last summer. The 6-foot-9 forward played 12 games for the Mavericks last season, averaging 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes. Smith’s exit frees up a two-way contract slot for the Mavericks, who currently have John Poulakidis and Tobi Lawal under such contracts.

After nearly departing for Europe last offseason, Valančiūnas is officially leaving the NBA following 14 seasons. The veteran big man played for six different NBA teams over the course of his career, posting averages of 12.8 points and 9.0 rebounds. He spent his most recent season with the Nuggets as a depth center behind Nikola Jokić, playing 13.4 minutes per game, which were the fewest of his career. If this is the end of Valančiūnas’ NBA journey, he’ll most likely be remembered as a Toronto Raptor, where he spent 6.5 seasons and started for several championship-contending teams.

Lundy has been one of the best free agents in Las Vegas, and the 2023 second-round pick had another excellent outing on Monday. Filling the stat sheet, he shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc and made the game’s biggest defensive play. Lundy’s rejection of a Rienk Mast floater in the final seconds preserved Toronto’s 94-93 victory. Given how well he’s played in Las Vegas, it would be unsurprising if Lundy landed a two-way contract, whether it’s with Toronto or another team.

The 48th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Lundy has not appeared in an official NBA game since January 24, 2024. An ankle injury ended his rookie campaign, and he has been fighting to get another shot ever since. Lundy came out firing on Saturday, shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc to lead the Raptors in scoring. Toronto has an open two-way contract slot; Lundy may be the mix to earn it. If not, Saturday’s performance may help set the stage for him to earn a training camp invite from the Raptors or another team.

Banton signed a two-year deal with Boston the day before the regular season ended up, but it wasn’t a fully guaranteed deal. This pushes the Celtics roster back down to 14 players.

News of the Pacers’ decision to move on from Potter came to light shortly after the team’s reported signing of veteran forward/center Larry Nance Jr. In his lone season with the Pacers, Potter started seven of the 47 games he appeared in, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes. While Wednesday’s reported transaction does not affect fantasy basketball, Potter was productive enough last season to land elsewhere as a backup for the 2026-27 campaign.
