Free agency officially began on Tuesday night, but a considerable amount of business had already been completed. Between players agreeing to stay with their original teams during the exclusive negotiating window and some huge trades, this summer’s free-agent class may not have the same “star power” we’re used to seeing.
However, there have still been some notable moves for fantasy basketball managers to pay close attention to as they prepare for draft season. Here’s a look at some of those key moves, and this article will be updated throughout the coming days.

While the Ball and Reid aspects of this trade have been covered here, we’ve yet to touch on Randle’s move to Brooklyn. In his second season with the Timberwolves, the veteran forward averaged 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers, shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 80.2 percent from the foul line. The scoring average improved by more than two points per game compared to Randle’s 2024-25 production and there was also a slight bump in assists and steals, but the rebounding number dipped slightly.

Randle provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, and maintaining that level of production in Brooklyn is certainly possible. Much of the Nets’ offense next season should run through Randle and Michael Porter Jr., raising the former’s fantasy ceiling. The concern is whether his efficiency will suffer due to the downgrade in overall talent.
