RoundP Fantasy Basketball Offseason: analysis for Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, Kristaps Porzingis Trade, more
The NBA games could be on pause, but the offseason is where the rosters are built. From exchanges to the NBA draft – Free Agency to Training and Hype of the Summer League, there is no shortage of news that modeled the panorama of Fantasy basketball.
Here is your weekly summary of the moves, hums and trends that count more for fantasy circles. Let’s both.

Atlanta Hawks acquired F/C Kristaps Porzingis
Fantasy Take: Porzingis arrived 22 ° with value per game last season for the Celtics. He is a great fantasy elite man for his efficiency, three -point shooting and the high locking rate. However, it is a health risk after playing in 42 games last year and worked through the playoffs with a mysterious disease. The arrival of KP mainly affects Onyeka Okongwu, which provided a value of the fifth round once it became a full -time appetizer last year. I would consider KP of KP in the fifth round due to health concerns.

Phoenix Suns has acquired C Mark Williams
Fantasy Take: Phoenix is a good landing point for Williams because the only ones had a minimum depth on the front. Staying healthy remains his greatest flaw. However, it was one of the few centers that scored 15 points on average with 10 rebounds and a block after the seventh round of drafts last season.

The two -day event ended on Thursday evening. I wrote about my winners and losers of the first round, but I wanted to add more context to some landing points and situations that took place this week.
Here are my fantasy votes for each player in the first round:
Is jazz in hostage ace bailey?
The word on the street is that there was a team in Ace Bailey’s “No-Draft list”. That team has not yet been identified (again). However, the perspective suggests that it was Utah because Bailey had a “minimum contact” with jazz from the evening.
Jazz expects Bailey to report on Monday, but what happens if there is a real stall? Dramatic, dramatic, drama.
Announcement
Assuming that he reports, Bailey has more potential in his first year than most of his peers in this class. It is a volume shooter that bounces decently well for its position. He will receive a few minutes from the jump and while I am not ready to spend a choice of late rounds on him in Ridraft alloy, it is a top-5 option in dynasty formats and could emerge as a productive player in deep championships in mid-season.
Cooper Flagg – F, Dallas Mavericks: I had to mention it because the highest of all the beginners of the draft of 2025 will be classified. I am targeting it in the fifth round, but the hype probably pushes him to the third or fourth round in the Hub.
Ryan Kalkbrenner – C, Charlotte Hornets: Also as a choice of the second round, Kalkbrenner has a great opportunity in front of him with only diabate moussa and Jusuf Nurkic in front of him in the order of caught. Kalkbrenner is a real 7 feet that is a force around the edge on both sides of the ball and is willing to go out for 3. There is a path to become an appetizer at some point next season. Keep an eye on the summer league of Las Vegas.
Khaman Maluach – C, Phoenix Suns: Maluach’s offensive skills are relatively raw, but Mark Williams gets too bad not to consider Maluach as someone to look at.
Announcement
Thomas Sorber – C, Oklahoma City Thunder: Chet Holmgren played in 32 games this season, while Isaiah Hartentein played in 57. Sorber landed in the perfect place with the reigning champions. At one point, he could supplanate Jaylin Williams as a big one on the bench.
He is recovering from an end -of -season foot injury, so unfortunately we don’t see him playing Las Vegas Summer League. Yet, I am intrigued, given its size, the defensive potential and the way in which it reads the game.
Jase Richardson – G, Orlando Magic: The magic obtained the exact piece they needed. Jase Richardson, son of the former NBA veterinarian Jason Richardson, played mainly out of the ball at the state of Michigan. However, he has always considered himself a leading guard with versatility and set skills to be a primary marker if necessary. I am excited to see him replace the role of Cole Anthony with an ascending team like The Magic. And knowing how much Jalen suggests, Richardson was able to find his way in a few significant minutes before knowing him.
💰NBA LIBERA AGENCY
The Libera Agency begins on Monday 30 June at 18:00 Eastern. My best free agents to monitor in the imagination are:
Announcement
With the offices of the NBA offici who become more attentive to costs, let’s see which players decide to take the options of their players, head towards the free agency or potentially move in sign agreements. Everyone is waiting and positioning for the moment when Giannis Antetokounmpo asks for an exchange. Who knows when or if it happens, but the offseason NBA began to the great and fantasy managers should keep a watchful eye while we approach the 2025-26 season.
