Guard Patty Mills is expected to stay committed to ASVEL Villeurbanne despite the club's financial turmoil, per BeBasket. ASVEL's planned budget reportedly dropped from 59 million to 24 million, triggering roster uncertainty and the exit of Sylvain Francisco before he played a game for the club. Mills, 37, appears willing to stick with Tony Parker's project, with their relationship dating back to their 2014 title run with the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard is coming off a strong first European season with Tenerife, where he averaged 18.1 points and 1.7 assists while shooting 44.4 percent from three in Liga ACB play. Mills has been off NBA fantasy boards since 2024-25, so this remains a EuroLeague story rather than a stateside fantasy development.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had a gentleman's agreement to join Crvena Zvezda if he did not receive an NBA offer, club president Zeljko Drcelic told Meridian Sport, per Eurohoops. That path never opened, as Vucevic signed a one-year, $3.9 million deal to return to Orlando on July 1. The 35-year-old two-time All-Star split last season between Chicago and Boston, averaging 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists across 64 games. For fantasy, the EuroLeague angle changes nothing unless it resurfaces after this NBA stint. Vucevic is back as veteran frontcourt depth for the Magic, which leaves him more useful as a low-ceiling big than a priority target.

Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Lonnie Walker IV and the club have agreed to part ways, with Partizan Belgrade among the leading candidates to sign him, according to Tomer Givati, via Sportando. Dubai Basketball has also entered the race, while Real Madrid stepped away after deciding not to wait for Walker's Maccabi exit. Walker, 27, remains under contract but is expected to leave in the coming weeks after averaging 15.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in EuroLeague play. The former No. 18 pick had an NBA out in his Maccabi deal through July 15, but with no stateside move materializing, Europe now looks like the more likely path. He remains off NBA fantasy boards unless an unexpected return surfaces.

Free-agent forward Trendon Watford is nearing a move to the EuroLeague, with one club in advanced talks, per Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews. Watford's NBA market appears to have cooled after the Philadelphia 76ers declined his 2026-27 team option, leaving the 25-year-old without a clear stateside landing spot. He averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists last season, though his highlight came with a 20-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist triple-double against Toronto. Watford's passing and rebounding make him a useful frontcourt connector, but if he signs overseas, he will fall off NBA fantasy boards entirely.
