According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Pelicans have claimed Trey Jemison off of waivers.
The Grizzlies waived Jemison on Wednesday, as the team needed to free up a two-way contract slot for Jay Huff. He is reportedly headed to New Orleans on an unspecified deal two days later. Whether or not Jemison can become relevant to fantasy basketball remains to be seen, but there may be an opportunity to compete for minutes. After losing Jonas Valanciunas in free agency, the Pelicans signed Daniel Theis and Karlo Matkovic. The team also selected Yves Missi in the first round of the June draft, and all three are expected to compete for the right to start.

Liddell will be traded for the second time this summer. He was sent to Atlanta as part of the transaction headlined by the Pelicans' acquisition of Dejounte Murray. While the 2022 second-round pick did play well at the NBA 2K25 Summer League earlier in July, he's unlikely to get the opportunities needed to be fantasy-relevant in Phoenix.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns are trading David Roddy to the Hawks in exchange for E.J. Liddell.
A first-round pick of the 76ers in 2022, Roddy began his NBA career in Memphis before being traded to the Suns at the February deadline. At the time of the trade, he was in the midst of his best season as a professional. However, Roddy did not crack the Suns' rotation, as Royce O'Neale was the preferred choice. After playing for the Suns at the NBA 2K25 Summer League in hopes of improving his standing in the team's wing pecking order, Roddy is headed to Atlanta and will attempt to crack that rotation. With first-overall pick Zaccharie Risacher, De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Dyson Daniels all in the mix, Roddy faces long odds of becoming a reliable fantasy option.
