Noah Vonleh
PF, Denver Nuggets
The Bulls have agreed to a one-year deal with Noah Vonleh, per Adrian Wojnarowski.
Vonleh will be stuck behind Lauri Markkanen and Thad Young in Chicago, leaving him outside the rotation on most nights. It's a bit of a shame as Vonleh has shown that he can be fantasy-relevant in enough playing time given his ability to rebound, knock down threes and chip in a few defensive stats. The Bulls pick up a nice depth piece but it won't help fantasy GMs at all.

Greg Whittington
SF, Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets have officially signed Greg Whittington to a two-way contract.
Whittington last played overseas in Turkey and averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.4 3-pointers across 11 contests in the EuroCup. The most impressive part of his resume from those 11 games came in the form of his percentages: 54.3% from the field and 48.4% from downtown. He will spend most of his time in the G League this upcoming year and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Bol Bol
C, Denver Nuggets
Bol Bol has agreed to a two-year, $4.2 million deal with the Denver Nuggets according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Bol has elevated from a two-way contract to an official guaranteed contract after flashing his skill set during the bubble regular season games. With Mason Plumlee and Jerami Grant off to Detroit, Bol is positioned to head into next season with a chance at earning rotation minutes behind Nikola Jokic. With a tantalizing stat set to his game, he's worth throwing on a watch list at the beginning of next season to see what he can do with whatever p ..read more

Keita Bates-Diop
SF, Denver Nuggets
Keita Bates-Diop is joining the Spurs after agreeing on a two-way deal with the team.
The free-agent forward will get a chance to work his way up in a team and culture. The Spurs are currently set at the forward position, so it's unlikely that KBD will be able to make a splash in fantasy this season.

Isaiah Hartenstein
PF, Houston Rockets
The Nuggets have ongoing interest in Isaiah Hartenstein, per Mike Singer of the Denver Post.
Hartenstein was let go by the Rockets in June and we haven't heard much about him since, though he's always been an intriguing upside play. He averaged 24.9 points, 14.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 threes while shooting .587 for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers but could only muster 11.6 mpg in 23 games with the Rockets. It was disappointing that Houston went straight to no centers after Clint Capela got hurt last season, as it would've b ..read more

Torrey Craig
SG, Denver Nuggets
Torrey Craig has agreed to a deal with the Bucks, his agent tells Adrian Wojnarowski.
Craig signed quickly after the Nuggets pulled their qualifying offer yesterday. He'll be a very useful player for the Bucks, who are setting up for a deep playoff run. Craig was often used as Denver's top perimeter defender and was given the toughest matchups on the wing, but has the size and strength to check larger forwards as well. His role isn't one that means much in fantasy but a versatile, defense-first wing is a huge get for a hopeful contender.

Torrey Craig
SG, Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets have withdrawn their qualifying offer on Torrey Craig, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Nuggets basically ran out of space to keep Craig and he will hit the open market. Despite limited upside, Craig should have no problems landing somewhere as a solid 3-and-D option. If he finds himself in a favorable position, perhaps he can carve out a sizeable role, although fantasy stardom seems highly unlikely.

Paul Millsap
PF, Denver Nuggets
Paul Millsap will remain with the Nuggets after agreeing to a one-year, $10 million dollar plus deal.
The exit of Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee may have played a part here, ensuring Millsap has an ongoing significant role for the Nuggets. He will be competing for minutes with Michael Porter Jr. as well as the recently acquired JaMychal Green. Of the three, Porter offers the most upside while Green has the ability to play as a stretch five, backing up Nikola Jokic. Millsap will typically provide a veteran presence but is unlikely to have an abundance of fant ..read more

JaMychal Green
PF, Los Angeles Clippers
JaMychal Green has agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Nuggets per Shams Charania.
The Nuggets lost Jerami Grant and will hope that Green can be part of their solution at power forward instead. He's got some 3-point shooting ability and can serve as a low-level starter, though Denver is likely hoping to land another player to improve their depth up front. Green could be a decent late-round target if he ends up being the starter but we'd expect the Nuggets to keep tinkering.

Jerami Grant
SF, Denver Nuggets
The Pistons and Jerami Grant are finalizing a three-year, $60 million contract for the 2020-21 season, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The Nuggets, who only had Grant for one season, will surely be sad to see him go but will thank their wallets later. That's not to say Grant would be overpaid at $20 million per season, but the Nuggets just could not commit that much money to a role player. Grant has been a steady presence for the better part of the past five seasons and he finally gets a big payday. The Pistons have been very active in the early ..read more
