The Warriors is a cult classic movie from 1979 based on Sol Yuricks novel of the same name. The premise is one gang in New York City must take on a contingent of other gangs in a fight for survival and vindication. In the NBA, the Kevin Durant-infused Warriors are now best equipped for battle amongst the leagues basketball squads. Durants decision to head to the Bay and join his former nemeses understandably sent shockwaves throughout the league.The move also shakes up the fantasy basketball climate like no other move weve witnessed before, as our own Joe Kaiser succinctly details in his deft breakdown of Durants decision, never before has one move impacted so many top-20 caliber fantasy talents quite like this one. The fantasy ramifications of Durants massive move are, well, colossal, but we must also pay attention to the litany of other notable transactions of the past week in the NBA. In this piece, well focus on the fantasy fallout of several significant transactions across the leagues landscape during this multibillion dollar free-agency period.We order these moves in some semblance of significance, yet the core intention is to canvass this very busy week in the league with an eye on implications for fantasy basketball value.Dwyane Wade to the Chicago BullsJust days after Kevin Durants decision to head west for the Warriors, we are now faced with the concept of Dwyane Wade heading back to his hometown in the Midwest, as reports suggest hes bound for the Bulls on a new contract.As for Wades fit with the new-look Bulls, ESPNs Kevin Pelton provides insightful analysis on his eroding efficiency, as he notes Wade, still uses a high percentage of his teams plays (31.6 percent last year, which ranked fifth in the league) but does so inefficiently. Wades .517 true shooting percentage ranked 11th among the 12 players with usage rates of 30 percent or greater, ahead of only Kobe Bryant (.469).While Wade is still a gifted slasher - he was 19th in the NBA in drives per game last season - he made just seven 3-pointers in 44 attempts for a career-low 15.9 percent from beyond the arc. Given Wades dependence on having the ball in his hands to create his offense, this shift is admittedly troubling for his statistical stock. The narrative of Wade returning to his hometown is interesting; yet the on-court cohesion already seems confusing for a trio of guards who do their best work with the ball, with little off-ball acumen in their respective games.Chicago already acquired Rajon Rondo this offseason, a player who was second in the league only to the Wizards John Wall in touches per game. Incumbent All-Star shooting guard Jimmy Butler ranked in the top 40 in touches per game last season. Which is to say, Rondo is a particularly ball-dominant point guard and both Butler and Wade produce off the dribble and are at their respective best in the shot creation phase of the game.We havent even mentioned any durability or availability issues for a high-mileage guard with a long injury history entering his 14th professional campaign. In a league driven by superstars and brand identity, Wade will likely still draw interest in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts this fall despite these obvious concerns. Wade was 10th on the Player Rater last season among shooting guards, with most of his positive impact coming from strong assist and point production -- two categories likely to suffer given his new peers.I netted a good deal of Wade shares last season given the continuity of his high-volume role in Miami, but this season, Ill likely avoid investing given real concerns over efficiency and durability combined with increased competition for touches in Chicago.Al Horford to the Boston CelticsHorford immediately boosts Bostons prospects for going deeper into the Eastern Conference playoffs, according to ESPNs Kevin Pelton. As for his fantasy stock, its difficult to ascend much higher than rating second among center-eligible players and 17th overall on the Player Rater, as he did last season. In fact, Horford was the lone center in the top 50 of the Player Raters standard deviation model to post positive production in each of the eight categories the index measures. A rare blend of shooting efficiency and defensive prowess affords Horford rare value and balance as a fantasy asset.It is helpful to consider that Horford could set a career high in shooting volume on a Boston team desperate for improved post scoring (the Celtics ranked 21st in points in the post last season), as hes likely to rise above 15 field goal attempts per game for the first time as a pro. Three-point production could also swell or at the least sustain at Horfords career-high 3.1 attempts per game last season, in the space-and-pace-friendly scheme in Boston (Celtics were third in the league in pace and 11th in 3-point attempts last year).Horford was the seventh center-eligible player off the board on average in ESPN drafts last fall, going 46th overall in the player pool. Our way-too-early rankings for next season were conducted before free agency, but have Horford slated 31st overall. Ill be looking for Horford in the third round of drafts this fall, slightly ahead of where the pack might rank him.Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon to the RocketsThese moves could prove fun for fantasy purposes, as Andersons 3-point driven value -- he was fifth among power forwards on the Player Rater in such production last season -- could inflate in Houston. The Rockets have averaged the most 3-point attempts per game over the past two years, thus a return to the range of seven shots per game from beyond the arc could buoy increased scoring production for the stretch-4. For those seeking 3-point support from an out-of-position resource, Anderson is a valuable commodity.As for Gordon, hes similar to Washingtons Beal in that he could turn a profit for investors if he can merely stay on the court, as durability issues have limited him to no more than 64 games in a season since his rookie campaign back in 2008-2009. That said, we saw Marcus Thornton produce viable fantasy numbers at times last year in Houston, meaning Gordon can at least be a DFS star when healthy.Pau Gasol to the San Antonio SpursWhile were still not certain if Tim Duncan will retire from the NBA this summer, its clear the team had interest in bolstering post scoring and passing with the acquisition of Gasol. Even in the twilight of his career, Gasol neared career-bests in assists, blocks and boards in Chicago last season en route to a top-25 finish on the Player Rater. The shift to San Antonio can only be viewed as a negative for Gasols fantasy prospects, however, as fewer minutes, shots and real usage overlap with LaMarcus Aldridge curb the statistical enthusiasm. This isnt to say Gasol cant provide value to fantasy investors, but the price will need to be right given expected deflations in offensive opportunities for the Spurs.Dwight Howard to the Atlanta HawksHoward sort of is what he is, which is really great analysis, I know. Yet the point is, we get elite field goal shooting and respectable block and board rates from Howard but crippling free throw production and anemic offensive output has relegated him to the middle rounds in fantasy (appropriately ranked 76th overall in Tom Carpenters early rankings). The shift to Atlanta likely signals an increase in field goal output, but uptick in opportunity is offset by age and legitimate durability concerns. If anything, Id place an increased premium on the already-elite Paul Millsap, as he could consume more offensive volume in the wake of Horfords departure.Harrison Barnes to the Dallas MavericksWith Durant joining the Warriors, Barnes lands in Dallas on a max deal. Using Chandler Parsons 2014-15 season as a template, we can expect spikes in minutes and shooting opportunities for Barnes to the tune of 33 minutes per game with a significant uptick in 3-point output (Parsons shot 5.3 3-pointers per game that year compared to Barnes 3.2 last season for Golden State). Im somewhat of a skeptic regarding Barnes ability to become a significant fantasy asset for next season on an increasingly deep Dallas roster, but its undeniable that well witness increased opportunity for the North Carolina product with this move.Chandler Parsons to the Memphis GrizzliesIts a strange comparison, but I feel the same way about Parsons stock as I do with his former teammate Howards, in that his best fantasy seasons, which happened during his heydey in Houston, are likely over. The Grizzlies scheme is likely to still prove slow-paced given their roster construction (Memphis ranked 27th in pace last season), while improved 3-point freedom isnt a given, either (Griz ranked 26th in 3-point attempts). Its a significant signing for a team that hasnt traditionally courted big free-agent assets, but Parsons fantasy stock can be considered the same as his past two seasons in Dallas...which is to say, hes a middling wing option Ill likely avoid in drafts in favor of names like Evan Fournier or Ryan Anderson. I view the Lakers Luol Deng in a similar regard, in that his best fantasy efforts are in the past and his current game doesnt lend itself impressively to fantasy value, as Los Angeles most needed his veteran composure in what will be a young locker room.Jerryd Bayless and Sergio Rodriguez to Philadelphia 76ersIt got so bad in South Philly last season that the Sixers asked me to play point guard. It wasnt that bad, but its safe to say even Bayless and Rodriguez represent significant upgrades on the positional depth chart.According to Synergy Sports, Bayless posted an effective field goal rate of 67 percent on catch-and shoot jump shots in the half court this past season - a measure which ranked in the top three percent in the league and a vast improvement on his 41 percent clip on such shots in 2014-15. Bayless isnt a traditional point guard in that he averaged just three assists per game for the Bucks over the past two seasons. He did, however, sink nearly two 3-pointers per game last season with nearly a steal per contest, rates that could prove worthy in deeper fantasy formats, as he should net steady minutes for Philly this year. Consider this combo guard a streaming asset in 10-team leagues, and a fun DFS commodity when his minutes spike.As for Rodriguez, hes a former first-round pick for the Phoenix Suns with four years of NBA experience to his name. Rodriguez has spent the past six years playing the point for Real Madrid in Liga ACB. Rodriguez is likely past his athletic prime at 30, but remains a deft passer (9.1 assists per 36 minutes for Real Madrid last year) and skilled shooter (40.9 from 3-point range over past three seasons). Brett Brown has afforded his point guards, from Michael Carter-Williams, Tony Wroten and Ish Smith, rare freedom to drive and shoot, so there could be some value found from these otherwise nominal moves for Philly.Stars staying putWe witnessed a good deal of player retention with the significant cap spike affording many teams the ability to spend big on incumbent talents. DeMar DeRozan resigned with the Raptors after another All-Star season that saw him shoot his best clip from the field in six seasons, tally career-best numbers from beyond the arc and finish third in the league in free throw attempts per game. Finishing fifth on the Player Rater last season among shooting guards, there is reliable cost certainty with DeRozan returning to a familiar system that caters to his drive-heavy skill set.Similarly, Andre Drummond, Nicolas Batum, Bradley Beal, Mike Conley, Evan Fournier and Hassan Whiteside were all retained by their respective clubs.Drummond, Batum and Conley figure to net similar roles and production patterns to their 2015-16 efforts. Beal delivers some upside and intrigue if he can stay on the floor after this rich payday, so baked-in durability concerns might offer a window for profit for those willing to take the inherent availability risks.Fournier thrived last season with increased minutes and offensive exposure. With Victor Oladipo making the shift to Oklahoma City -- which Kaiser also covers in his Durant breakdown -- Fournier has a very real opportunity to play more than 33 minutes and loft over 14 shots as a max-contract asset for Orlando. Consider me a believer in this rising wing, as Fournier is still just 23 years old and already a foundational asset on a team with a talented young coach in Frank Vogel.Meanwhile, Whiteside is the player of this group with the most upward trajectory as a fantasy asset. Whiteside already rated 14th overall on the Player Rater last season thanks to league-best production in blocks and invaluable contributions in field goal efficiency, ranking behind only?the Clippers DeAndre Jordan in this regard. Whiteside is already regarded as a high-end asset in our early set of rankings, while more minutes and shots could only feed the fantasy beast he proved to be last year. If you can net Whiteside in third round, there is major production profit to enjoy.Minor MovesJeremy Lin could deliver value as a high-usage point guard on a Brooklyn roster that invites him to prove ball-dominant this coming season. I like to source a few of these high-usage point guards on bad teams when possible, with Lin set as a leading candidate for soft production this season. ... Rajon Rondo wont match his amazing raw numbers from last seasons stint with George Karls breakneck system in Sacramento, but he can still provide value as a specialist in assists and steals as the ball-dominant distributor for Chicago. Just make sure to significantly deflate our projections for Rondo in a new system, as he doesnt provide any help in scoring or 3-point production, which have become hallmarks of the position. ... I like the value Zaza Pachulia could produce as the rare big man in Golden State. While the team will surely run small lineups often, Pachulia is a proven low-post banger who set career-bests in rebounds and free throw production last season. ... Similarly, look for Ian Mahinmi to thrive in rebounds and blocks with the Wizards, as he and Pachulia make for cheap center options heading into the new campaign. ... A late-round investment in Evan Turner should prove harmless, but I doubt we see him with the ball in his hands as much in Portland as he had in Boston given the teams established tandem of backcourt stars. ... For sneaky late-round gems, consider ETwaun Moore of the Pelicans and Gerald Henderson of the 76ers, as they could earn heavy minutes on their respective rosters. Minutes, after all, are the coin of the realm when seeking out value in fantasy basketball. Ultra Boost 4.0 Triple Black For Sale .

Ultra Boost 4.0 Core Black Sale .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Diana Taurasi has been there, done that, and won literally everything there is to win in womens basketball -- no, really. Everything.NCAA titles at Connecticut. WNBA titles with Phoenix. Three Olympic gold medals (and counting....). Pro and college most valuable player awards and European titles in Russia, where she pulls down a $1 million-plus annual salary. She was actually paid by her Russian team not to play for the Mercury last summer, the better to rest her body for this years overseas run all the way to -- are you kidding? -- a seventh European title. So it was no surprise at all really when Taurasi -- the ultimate winner -- seemed to take it a little personally Tuesday when Serbia, the U.S. teams third-round opponent at the Rio Summer Olympics, had ambitions of muddying this pretty picture. Serbia actually took a one-point lead with eight minutes gone in the first quarter -- a rarity against this U.S. team -- only to see Taurasi answer by scoring 11 of the United States next 15 points.Nine of them came on three consecutive 3-pointers that left her shoving her hands straight down each side of her shorts as if she was putting them back into imaginary holsters by the third one she made.The U.S. jumped back out to a 31-21 lead, and the Americans never looked back on the way to a 110-84 win. Taurasi had 22 of her team-best 25 points in the first half. The six three-pointers she made broke her own Olympic record of five.We knew what was up -- theyre European champions for a reason, Taurasi said of Serbia after the game. Its good for us to be challenged.The U.S. has now won 44 straight Olympic games and is chasing its sixth straight gold medal.Taurasi, now 34, could score in the mid-20s any time she wants, but shes smart enough to realize she doesnt have to do that for this talent-laden team. Like a lot of stars, she knows its often when you score that matters most, not necessarily how much. She keeps a close eye on the emotional temperature of the team, whooping when they make a steal, barking when they miss a screen, keeping everyone engaged.Tuesday, the U.S. hit a little scoring drought after a hot start. Olympic first-timer Elena Delle Donne, the reigning WNBA MVP, picked up two quick fouls almost as soon as she came in the game and went back to the bench when Taurasi -- who has never been timid about shooting, anyway -- seemed to get all Shakespearean and decide: If not noweth, then when?It was mostly about the group we had in the game at that time, she stated. We said, We need to get on a run. And so she shot -- one, two, three 3-pointers in a row. The net barely twiitched.ddddddddddddShe bounced up and down and let out a little woo-hoo after the last of them. She was enjoying this. And her teammates were enjoying it too. If not Serbia.Wheeew, she was hot, wasnt she? swingman Angel McCoughtry said. She just had that look.The way Taurasi is willing to switch between taking this team on her shoulders and deferring to her enormously talented teammates doesnt make her unique on this squad of wall-to-wall stars. But shes still the best at demanding the ball, and shes the most fun to watch, if only because of her swagger and attitude. One of her nicknames is White Mamba, which can sound a little silly until you realize it was Kobe Bryant, the original Mamba, who gave her the name.Taurasi, of course, loved it. She plays like she thinks shes the biggest bad ass on the court. But off the court, say the other players, shes the best teammate you could ever want.Brittney Griner, the 6-foot-8 former Baylor center who now plays year-round with Taurasi in Russia and the WNBA, smiled the other day when asked if Taurasi has drifted away from the surprise motivational phone calls she used to make to her before games, skipping pleasantries like hello and getting right to the point -- Are you going to show up tonight or what? -- then hanging up before Griner could get a word in.She still does it, Griner says, laughing, but now she just says that stuff to my face.Taurasi often seems to be channeling U.S. coach Geno Auriemma, her mentor and alter ego at UConn, when she dissects games the U.S. has just played and nitpicks about what needs to be cleaned up.Much like Auriemma, she got a little impatient after the United States past two games and gave a Geno-esque answer when asked a spin-off of the perennial UConn question: Is the U.S. womens teams dominance in Olympic play bad for the game?When Taurasi was asked this a few days ago after routing Spain, she said, If you dont like watching good basketball, go watch rowing.Tuesday, asked the same bad-for-basketball question again, she laughed wearily and said, I dont even know how to answer it anymore. Would it be better if we lost by 50? ....We have 12 women that dedicate their lives to the game of basketball year-round -- overseas, USA, the WNBA. So theyre knocking us for doing that?Its a bit disrespectful, I would say.The U.S., now 3-0 in Rio, plays Canada Friday, then has one more game before its on to medal-round play. Said Taurasi: We just need to come out of that locker room, and do what we do.
