Caleb Martin Looking For Big Money In Free Agency

Free-agent forward Caleb Martin is reportedly seeking around $15 million this offseason. Martin, who turned down his $7.1 million player option to hit the open market, spent the last three years in Miami, recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. The 28-year-old apparently is on Philadelphia's radar. However, his asking price may be too high, especially since he played 64 games or fewer in two of the previous three seasons. There's still a chance Miami could re-sign Martin, although the team is looking to avoid hitting the second apron.

Franz Wagner, Magic Agree On Contract Extension

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team. The 2021 No. 8 overall pick has spent the last three seasons with the Magic since entering the league, averaging 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists while appearing in 231 games. There aren't many players in the National Basketball Association who are more durable, so keeping him in Orlando was a no-brainer for a club that's hoping to make a deep postseason run in 2024-25. Fantasy managers could continue to see growth from the 22-year-old moving ahead, although his 33.2% shooting from behind the arc is something category participants would like to see improve. Wagner is eligible to earn up to $270 million with his new deal.

"Mutual Interest" Between DeMar DeRozan, Sacramento

According to NBA reporter Sean Cunningham, there is "mutual interest" between free-agent forward DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings. It's unknown how a potential move would look, considering the Bulls have tried to orchestrate a sign-and-trade since the start of free agency. DeRozan finished last season by averaging 24.0 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds. He also appeared in 79 games, his third consecutive season of playing at least 74 games. Without question, the 34-year-old would make Sacramento a bona fide contender in the Western Conference, although he should remain a top fantasy option no matter where he ends up for the 2024-25 campaign.

Bucks Still Looking To Move Brook Lopez

According to NBA reporter Gery Woelfel, the Milwaukee Bucks are "still very receptive to trading" center Brook Lopez. Milwaukee hopes to receive a first-round draft pick in exchange for the veteran. However, most teams aren't looking to make a deal, considering his age and contract. Lopez is still a reliable big man. He's appeared in 68 games in five of his six seasons in Milwaukee, and he most recently finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 12.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks while shooting 36.6% from behind the arc. There's a good chance Lopez will stay with the Bucks. But no matter where he ends up, he still has plenty to offer fantasy managers.

Caleb Martin Signing With Philadelphia

Free-agent forward Caleb Martin agreed to a four-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old recently declined his $7.1 million option with the Miami Heat and will now earn more than $32 million guaranteed with the 76ers. Without question, Philly has been busy this offseason, with the team already landing Paul George, Andre Drummond, and Eric Gordon while giving new contracts to Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tyrese Maxey. But now Philadelphia will add Martin, who finished last season by averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. While he may not start consistently in Philadelphia, he should see enough work to remain relevant for fantasy managers.
