The signing of the 10-year veteran and former Rocket would help bolster their front-court depth, but it's hard to imagine him being a game-changer for the struggling Lakers. 

Harkless was traded three times since July and finally waived by a Houston team that's rebuilding with young players. The 10-year vet will look for another team on the free agent market, but he's not expected to make a fantasy impact no matter where he lands.

In fantasy terms, this is an insignificant trade. The pick won't convey until 2025 or 2026, depending on how well the Hawks do in three years. Harkless is headed to his third team in as many days, and it's his fourth team since he was traded by the Kings on July 1st. However, this isn't a situation where he'll see any playing time.

Harkless is on the move again, with the Hawks acquiring him from the Kings on July 1. His exit from Atlanta means that Jalen Johnson, who saw most of his minutes in the G League last season, has a shot at cracking the rotation. That won't be enough to make the 2021 first-round pick a player worth targeting in drafts, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him during the early stages of this season. As for Harkless' fantasy potential in Oklahoma City, it isn't very good. While the Thunder are expected to struggle again, the franchise's priority has been getting its younger players all the minutes they can handle. In addition to the Thunder acquiring the 2029 second, the 2025 pick that Oklahoma City owes Atlanta is now top-40 protected.
