McNeil inked a training camp deal just a few days earlier, and he'll now become a free agent. Questions remain about the 28-year-old's health after he ended the 2025-26 season with a calf injury, but if he's able to get healthy for the start of the upcoming campaign, he'll likely open the year playing in the G League with the Charge.
Watson appeared in nine regular-season games for the Knicks in 2024-25. He then spent the 2025-26 campaign in the G League. In 50 regular-season games with South Bay, Watson averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.2 minutes per contest. The 25-year-old will get another opportunity to suit up for Los Angeles this season, though another stint in the G League may be the most realistic outcome.
Bey, who sat out the 2024-25 season after suffering a torn ACL, proved to the Pelicans that he's deserving of a raise. He averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 made threes in 72 appearances during the 2025-26 season, and following this healthy extension, he'll presumably play a key role in the frontcourt heading into the new campaign, even with Bennedict Mathurin entering the mix.
Bona suffered a foot sprain this offseason, clouding his ability to participate in camp later this month. It's unclear if his status for Opening Night is in serious doubt, as he does have about a month until the regular season begins. Until Bona is cleared to retake the floor, Dominick Barlow and Ariel Hukporti should handle the backup center reps.
Leonard is eligible to sign for up to two years and $126 million. An extension would solidify Leonard's long-term future in Toronto and remove any uncertainty surrounding his contract situation heading into the 2026-27 campaign. After his trade was recently completed, his fantasy outlook is much more straightforward heading into training camp.
