Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Marc Gasol
C, Toronto Raptors

According to reports, Marc Gasol will leave the NBA to join FCB Barcelona for next season.

It is possible that we saw the last of the Gasol brothers in the NBA with this news. Pau Gasol is close to retiring and is unlikely to play another minute in the NBA while Marc is on his way back to his hometown in Spain. It is worth noting that Barcelona's head coach, Sarunas Jasikevicius, told Emiliano Carchia of Sportando that “We have not talked to Marc Gasol." If the reporting is true, it will create some additional opportunity in the frontcourt for the Raptors next season. We will have to wait for all the moves from the offseason but there is definitely some center minutes that got vacated if Gasol does in fact leave Toronto.

Ben Simmons
PG, Philadelphia Sixers

Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that former Clippers coach Doc Rivers is expected to meet with the Sixers in the Philadelphia area.

The Sixers are taking their time to execute a thorough coaching search, with an emphasis on a coach that will be able to connect with both Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Ty Lye and Mike D’Antoni have already interviewed with Philadelphia and Rivers is another name who has shown the ability to coach big NBA names.

Pascal Siakam
PF, Toronto Raptors

The long-term future of Raptors President Masai Ujiri, whose contract runs out at the end of next season, is a growing concern among the team’s fans, but the chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Larry Tanenbaum, said on Tuesday that there is a plan for it.

The Raptors wanted to take care of their senior management first, with extensions for coach Nick Nurse and general manager Bobby Webster kicking in during the last few weeks. Ujiri is next and any talk about him leaving Toronto seems to be pure speculation at this point.

Jonathan Gibson
PG, International

Jonathan Gibson is expected to sign with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association.

Gibson has spent the last seven seasons playing in China where he has been a scoring machine. The Ducks were looking to replace Jeremy Lin, who is reportedly looking to return to the NBA, and it looks like they have found their man.

Kevin Love
PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com is reporting that Kevin Love has departed the Cavs' minicamp, even though the move is not a surprise since he had indicated ahead of time he wouldn't stay for the duration of the camp.

Four of the Cavs' six oldest players from last season are now not at camp. Tristan Thompson, Andre Drummond and Matthew Dellavedova were absent from the start, while starting small forward Cedi Osman is in Turkey and was unable to travel to Cleveland. This is a great opportunity for the young guys to get some much needed practice time and while it’s good to see Love show up and support his teammates, it’s clear that he may not be a part of the franchise moving forward.
