Shams: Willy Hernangómez agrees to one-year deal with Pelicans

Willy Hernangomez
C, Charlotte Hornets

The Pelicans and Willy Hernangómez have agreed to a one-year minimum contract.

Hernangómez spent the last two and a half seasons with the Hornets and logged four starts in his time there. He has a decent fantasy stat set if he were to see a large increase in opportunity. However, that is highly unlikely to happen in New Orleans and he will probably fill in as a depth rotation piece at best.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Montrezl Harrell
PF, Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers have issued a press release announcing the official signing of former Clippers center Montrezl Harrell.

Harrell will not see much of a change in scenery but will now be donning the purple and gold as he chases an NBA title with the defending champions. He should be expected to slide in nicely into the starting lineup at center, given the departures of Dwight Howard and the trade of JaVale McGee. Either that, or he'll reprise his sixth-man role if the Lakers opt to start veteran big man Marc Gasol. Either way, Harrell should see a drop in production from his time with the Clippers.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers moved quickly and have no officially announced the re-signing of sharpshooter Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

KCP gets paid with his three-year, $40 million deal which makes him happy. He's rerunning things with the Lakeshow which makes them happy, as they mostly keep the core of their championship-winning roster intact. He will get some steady minutes, even with the addition of Wesley Matthews and is worth a look late in standard-league drafts.

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.

DeAndre' Bembry
SF, Atlanta Hawks

The Raptors land former Hawk free agent DeAndre' Bembry, agreeing to terms with the forward on a two-year, $4 million deal.

The second year of the deal is not guaranteed and is for the veteran's minimum, leaving their MLE open for another move. The Raptors may have lost out on the big-man chase with the departures of Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol, but getting an athletic wing like Bembry on the cheap like this is pretty much still a notch in the win column as far as free agency grades go.

Jerami Grant
SF, Detroit Pistons

The Pistons have officially announced the signing of Jerami Grant.

Grant arrives in Motown by way of a sign-and-trade deal and is also accompanied by the rights to Nikola Radicevic, who was the 57th pick in the 2015 draft. In exchange, the Nuggets receive $9.2 million in cash considerations. Grant lands in a great spot in Detroit, now likely one of the building blocks for the team's future. He should see a nice bump in value from last season.
