Free-agent forward Javonte Green has agreed to a one-year, $3.95 million deal to return to the Detroit Pistons, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The 32-year-old is a glue guy: he suited up for all 82 games last season as one of Detroit's most trusted perimeter defenders, chipping in 6.9 points in 17.6 minutes while shooting 38.1 percent from three. That defensive motor and iron-man availability matter to a Pistons team built around Cade Cunningham, but they don't add up to a fantasy box score at this usage. Here's the only angle worth filing away: in deep formats, if an injury pushes him into the starting lineup as it did last season, his steals and blocks can carry a short-term stream. Short of that, he stays on the wire.

The Oklahoma City Thunder waived forward Payton Sandfort, according to Andrew Schlecht. Sandfort appeared in four NBA games for Oklahoma City last season, averaging 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 50.0 percent from the field. He spent most of his time with the Oklahoma City Blue, where he averaged 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. Sandfort has size and shooting touch, but this move carries little fantasy fallout. He was not in line for a steady Thunder role, and his next value will depend on finding another developmental spot.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta has agreed to a four-year, $56 million extension to remain in Boston, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. It caps a remarkable climb for the 26-year-old Portuguese 7-footer, who went from a two-way deal and G League stints in Maine to Boston's starting center. Queta seized that job last season after the Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis and let Al Horford and Luke Kornet walk, and he delivered career highs of 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 65.3 percent, third-best in the NBA. For fantasy, he's a quietly valuable category center: the field-goal percentage, boards, and blocks add up even without gaudy scoring. The extension locks in a role that only grows more central as Boston retools around a post-Jaylen Brown roster. The one cap on his ceiling is minutes, with offseason signing Mitchell Robinson now providing real depth behind him.

Minnesota and Golden State have both pitched free agent forward Rui Hachimura, the top name left on the board, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports. Hachimura is all but gone from Los Angeles after the Lakers exhausted their cap space on other moves, and the 28-year-old is coming off a scorching close to the season. He averaged 11.5 points and 3.3 rebounds on 51.4 percent shooting across 68 regular-season games, then poured in 17.5 points and 4.0 rebounds while hitting 56.9 percent from three over 10 playoff games. The fantasy read hinges on which suitor wins, and the two fits are not equal. Minnesota, which cleared frontcourt minutes by dealing Julius Randle to Brooklyn and moving Naz Reid in the LaMelo Ball trade, could hand him a starting role as the third scorer behind Anthony Edwards and Ball. Golden State's motion offense would use him as a complementary spacer next to Stephen Curry, a lower-usage role. For fantasy purposes, root for the Minnesota outcome.
