K. Johnson - SG

PHX

Keon Johnson and Nassir Little were dealt to Phoenix along with Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen in a three-team deal that sent Deandre Ayton and Jrue Holiday to Portland and Damian Lillard to Milwaukee.

Little and Johnson had little fantasy value heading into this season on a rebuilding Blazers roster, and their fantasy value is nearly non-existent now that they’ve landed with a title contender. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray could find more playing time now on an even thinner Portland team.

G. Allen - SG

PHX

Grayson Allen was traded to the Suns along with Jusuf Nurkic, Keon Johnson and Nassir Little in a three-team deal involving the Trail Blazers and Bucks that sent Deandre Ayton and Jrue Holiday to Portland and Damian Lillard to Milwaukee.

Allen played big minutes for Milwaukee last season, and while his three-and-D skills were helpful to the Bucks in the real world, they didn’t translate to meaningful fantasy production. Allen’s role will surely be diminished with his new team, and there’s no guaranteed playing time off the bench after the Suns retooled in the offseason and added more shooters. There’s no reason to draft Allen in fantasy hoops this season unless you’re playing in a deep league. Malik Beasley looks quite appealing as a late-round flyer, and he may have the inside track to a starting job with the new-look Bucks in 2023-24.

J. Nurkic - C

PHX

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Jusuf Nurkic has been traded to the Suns along with Grayson Allen, Keon Johnson and Nassir Little in a move that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee and Jrue Holiday and Deandre Ayton to Portland.

Nurkic has had trouble staying on the court over the last four seasons, and even though he has a fantasy-friendly skillset as a shot-blocker and quality passing big man, the move to Phoenix is a downgrade. He’ll go from a rebuilding roster to a title contender featuring some of the league’s best scorers, which means his already-shaky fantasy value takes a hit. He’s certainly worth a flyer outside the top 100, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

D. Ayton - C

POR

Deandre Ayton was traded to the Trail Blazers alongside Jrue Holiday in a deal with the Bucks and Suns that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee and Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen to Phoenix.

Ayton will have a new coach to squabble with out in the Pacific Northwest as he suddenly finds himself on a rebuilding Portland roster. From a real-world NBA perspective, it’s a massive downgrade for the big man, but for fantasy? It’s a boost in value! Ayton will not be playing alongside a Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Instead, he’ll be one of the “veteran” players in the locker room of a team whose core is comprised of rookie Scoot Henderson and second-year man Shaedon Sharpe among others. Jusuf Nurkic was dealt to Phoenix, leaving Ayton with little competition for touches at center.

J. Holiday - PG

POR

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jrue Holiday has been dealt to the Trail Blazers alongside Deandre Ayton as part of a three-team deal that also sent Damian Lillard to the Bucks and Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen to the Suns.

Portland also received a 2029 first-round pick from Milwaukee and a pick swap as part of the blockbuster trade. Holiday recently noted that he’d like to finish his career with Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo asked for help, Dame asked for a trade, and Holiday is unfortunately part of the fallout. The veteran point guard is perennially a top-35 fantasy option, and if he commands 30+ minutes a night in Portland, that’s unlikely to change. The biggest losers here are Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons, who now have to share the backcourt with Holiday. All three are still better off with Holiday than with Dame, but it’s a disappointing development, nonetheless.

D. Lillard - PG

MIL

The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Damian Lillard has been traded to the Bucks in a three-team deal involving the Suns.

Well, that was unexpected. After requesting a trade more than a month ago, Lillard is on his way to Milwaukee, where he’ll form a superteam with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who made his feelings about staying with the Bucks clear not long ago. Jrue Holiday and Deandre head to the Blazers in the deal, while Phoenix gets Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. Lillard should play big minutes for his new team, and his fantasy value isn’t likely to take a big hit. He should still be expected to post first or second-round numbers based on his scoring, shooting and assist numbers.

T. Martin - SG

MIN

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Tyrese Martin has signed a one-year deal with the Timberwolves.

The 2022 second-rounder logged just 4.1 minutes per game across 16 contests as a rookie for Atlanta, and he’s not expected to take on a substantially larger role in Minnesota. Martin can stay safely out of your mind when drafting for the upcoming fantasy hoops season.

R. Gay - SF

GSW

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Rudy Gay has agreed to a one-year deal with the Warriors.

The veteran will provide frontcourt depth for his new team, but he’s not on the fantasy radar. Gay averaged just 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per contest over two seasons with the Jazz, and he’s in the twilight of his career.
