2023 Top Remaining NBA Free Agents, After the first couple of days

 Another year gone by another big list of free agents in the NBA. After just 2 days, many players have already signed to come back to their teams or with a new team. The top players such as Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Kyrie Irving, Fred Van Vleet and others have already signed. Here is a list of remaining players that might be worth signing. This does not include James Harden or Dame Lillard who have requested trades but are currently under contract.

Those Available who can help a team's rotation.

1.  - PJ Washington - As a restricted free agent, it is very likely that the Hornets bring him back or match any deal offered. He had his best year last year and is still young.

2. Mason Plumlee - A quality center in the league still and can either start or backup for a good team. Looks like he will have to end up being a backup with the lack of cap space and roster spots left already. - Ended up resigning with the Clippers to be a backup. Claimed to turn down higher offers to come back. 

3. Kelly Oubre Jr - The last couple of years he has been quiet, but that is mostly because he has been in Charlotte. One of the few teams with money left will give him some, it could be Charlotte.

4. Christian Wood - After a big trade brought him to Dallas, he had a very disappointing season. Is it possible he just had a couple good seasons and is no more than a rotation player on an average team? 

5. Lonnie Walker - An up and down season in L.A. for him, but he will earn some bench minutes on a team. Will probably go wherever he can get the most money at this point, which won't be much. - Signed with the Brooklyn Nets, will have a chance to contribute in the rotation.

6. Mo Bamba - Unfortunately was hurt almost the entire time after being traded to the Lakers, so he will not make as much money as he would otherwise. Might have to redeem himself this year with a minimum contract and show he is still a contributor.

7. Will Barton - See Kelly Oubre. Was once a starter not too long ago on Denver. He still has room to contribute. 

8. Malik Beasley - Started well with the Lakers before falling out of the rotation in the playoffs. Will also have to redeem himself. - Signed with the Bucks at the minimum. 

9. - Matisse Thybulle - After asking for a trade out of Philly, he now will end up in the same position, just on another team.

10. Grant Williams - A restricted free agent, he is likely to end up staying in Boston based on everything at this point. He is definitely a contributor for a playoff team though. 

Those Who Will/Should Retire

1. Udonis Haslem - Has already he announced he will retire.

2. Andre Iguodala - Said before last year it would be his last. 

3. DJ Augustin - After making it midway through the year back onto a roster, I wouldn't expect the same thing to happen again. Made the most of his career.

4. Ish Smith - No better way of spending a year with your 13th team than winning a championship. Good time to hang them up rather than hope for the last roster spot on a team.

5. Matthew Dellavedova - Was out of league for a couple of years and made his way back helping the Kings make the playoffs. Not likely going to be back next year and has stated he would love to go home. 

6. Danny Green - Has had a great career, but due to injury and age might want to call it a career.

7. James Johnson - His career in the NBA has lasted longer than most would have thought.

Others Who Will Sign Somewhere

  1. Torrey Craig - Signed with the Bulls
  2. Kevin Knox
  3. Derrick Jones Jr
  4. JaMychal Green
  5. Blake Griffin
  6. Montrezl Harrell
  7. Aaron Holiday
  8. Terrance Ross
  9. TJ Warren
  10. Juan Toscano - Anderson
-This list will update as free agency continues over the summer

Top Remaining NBA Free Agents

Despite NBA Free Agency opening up just a little over a month ago, within a couple of weeks, the period was basically over. Only a few players have signed with teams in the few weeks since and not many more are expected to sign before training camp begins. However, there are still some talented players available and looking to still sign with a team before then. It is possible some of them still could. Here is a list of the top remaining free agents. (Note: Miles Bridges is not included due to his criminal charges. A team is doubtful to sign him this year because he would likely be suspended for the whole season regardless.)

  1.  Collin Sexton (restricted) - Sexton is in a fierce contract negotiation with the Cavaliers. He wants 20 million+ and the Cavs have reportedly offered him around 13 million/year. since he is a restricted free agent the Cavaliers could match any offer he receives from another team. It is inevitable he ends up back with Cleveland this year, but the question is do they come to a contract agreement, or does he take the qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent next year? (Update-Sexton was part of the big Donovan Mitchell trade and sign-and-trade heading to Utah)
  2. Dennis Schroder- A year and half ago, the Lakers considered offering him a 4 year, 80-million-dollar contract. Now he is at the point where he will have to take a minimum one-year contract somewhere. He is still young enough and talented enough to get a roster spot somewhere and will likely sign by the time the season begins. It could be in places like Charlotte or Brooklyn depending on what they do in the Durant saga. (Update -signed with the Lakers for the minimum)
  3. Jeremy Lamb - He has been injured a lot in recent years but has a large upside. He is still fairly young and come be a steal at the minimum as a key bench player. If he stays healthy ....
  4. Carmelo Anthony - Had a decent year last year but is getting up in age and has already had a longer career than almost anyone else. It is very possible some team will give him one last hurrah and he will play one last year trying to win his first championship.
  5. Montrezl Harrell - He is also in trouble with the law, but it is not something that should end up with him being suspended long term or in jail. He brings a lot of energy and could boost a bench as a scoring big. Like the few before him, he will likely play somewhere this year. (Update - signed with the 76ers a big man off the bench)
  6. Hassan Whiteside - His career has had its ups and downs. He started out of nowhere, made it big and has come crashing down. He did have a pretty good season last year as a backup center. Any team that needs a backup center should look at him first. 
  7. Demarcus Cousins - From All-star to injured to backup to barely in the league. The last couple of years he has been on the fringe of making a roster. Yet, he keeps surprising everyone and showing he could be a good backup big. Definitely a chance he ends up on a team this year.
  8. Markieff Morris - Hit hot headedness resulted in a play in which injured him for most of the year last year. Having been a backup the previous couple of years, this made him go from good player in the league to guy who might not make it back, at least certainly not on a guaranteed contract. (Update - signed with the Brooklyn Nets)
  9. Eric Bledsoe - A couple of year ago he was a starter in the league. Even the beginning of last year, he started a bunch of games and was a decent role player. He could still be a good backup point guard for a team, perhaps Charlotte if they dont sign Dennis Schroder or get a chance to reunite with Kemba Walker who as of now is still on the Detroit Pistons.
  10. Blake Griffin - He has had a major downfall from where he was a few years ago but could still be a bench player and give a decent amount of scoring and playmaking as a big off the bench for a team. He ain't going back to Brooklyn, so as he has said, he is hoping to get with a LA team, but at this point he should take any roster spot he can get.
Others who are available and have a shot at playing in the NBA this year still:
Dwight Howard - Has another year or so.
Lamarcus Aldridge - Might retire, but someone might want him as scoring backup big.
DJ Augustin - 3rd player who could take that Charlotte backup point guard job.
Tristan Thompson - Comes with a lot of spotlight, but could still play pretty well.
Elfrid Payton - Still very young and if someone gets injured this year, will get a call.
Rajon Rondo - Also, has had some trouble with the law this offseason, but has had a great career.

Others who should probably retire now for one reason or another, but haven't announced it:
Udonis Haslem - The Heat say he doesn't take up a roster spot, but he does and should become a coach. (Update - Signed with the ....... Heat again duh)
Andre Iguodala - Also would take spot on the Warriors, great career should retire and become a coach.
Lou Williams - One of the best 6th men ever, but his time has passed, should retire while he still can.
Paul Millsap - Showed last year he is not really capable of competing in the league anymore.
Trevor Ariza - Made it longer than most would have though. Great career, but over now.

There are quite a few other free agents still available, most of whom have not played in the NBA that long. It will be interesting to see who still signs, who announces retirement and who never gets a call while hoping they get one.

Who Should the Clippers Sign as Their 15th Man?

 It is only a couple days into free agency, yet most of the top free agents have already agreed to deals. The Clippers are up to 14 guaranteed contracts after resigning Nic Batum and Amir Coffee, as well as bringing in John Wall. While they have yet to sign their 2nd round draft pick, it would make most sense to sign him to a 2-way contract. This way they could use their 15th spot on the roster to bring in a backup center, which they still need after Isaiah Hartenstein signed with the New York Knicks. While many free agent centers have already signed, and the top remaining free agent, Deandre Ayton is not going to be coming, the Clippers could still sign a good backup center. It would almost have to be on a minimum contract, so not only will they have to choose from among the remaining free agents but would have to get someone who would be ok with the minimum amount to play for a championship contender.

Here would be the Clippers top remaining ideal players to bring in for that backup center, 15th man, minimum contract player:

1. Hassan Whiteside - A great defender and had a good season last year as a backup in Utah, he would be an amazing asset and if they could get him on a minimum contract, it would be a steal.

2. Thomas Bryant - Before missing a year due to injury, he was starting for Washington. He is pretty young and has potential. He would probably be ok with a minimum contract, so would be worth taking a chance on him.

3. Tristan Thompson - He is consistent and would be a solid addition to the bench. Brings championship experience. 

4. Dwight Howard - It is clear his NBA career is almost over, but it's possible he could still be a decent backup center if he is up for it.

5. Serge Ibaka - After his back injury, he seemed to not be the same and the Clippers traded him away at the deadline last year. However, getting him on a minimum contract would be a much better deal for the Clippers. 

Other remaining free agents if none of those work out - Demarcus Cousins, Greg Monroe, Ed Davis, Gorgui Deng, Luke Garza.

Annual NBA Free Agency Thoughts: 2019 Kawhi Leonard Edition

Just a couple days into NBA free agency 2019 and not only are almost all of the top free agents already committed, but a large majority of the above average and average free agents are taken as well. This is not good news for teams still looking to revamp their roster. After the busiest opening 24 hours of NBA free agency ever, the updates of players committing has slowed own over the past 24 hours. While many teams have their rosters just about full already, most of the free agents yet to sign will probably have to wait until Kawhi Leonard announces where he is going to be playing next year.

While all the other top 8 free agents this offseason announced where they will be signing for the upcoming year within a day of free agency opening, Kawhi Leonard has been silent. It is expected he will announce where he is going within a few days, but in an offseason where all the other top players have made it known where they are going, the fans, media and franchises are starting to get impatient. Leonard is certainly allowed to take his time though, even if he wants to take a month (although that would be devastating to the franchises still in play for him). Until he makes known his intentions some of the other remaining free agents are going to have to wait to find a new team. As of now there are only a few teams with remaining cap space. The only teams that still have a chance of signing Leonard are the Lakers, Clippers and the place where he just won a championship, Toronto.

The two teams that Leonard decides not to sign with will certainly have issues since they have waited before signing other players while Leonard has remained a possibility. The Lakers will be most effected if they don't get Leonard since they only have a few players on their roster and need to sign the most players. Whoever signs Leonard will jettison up to championship contender level so his signing is big. However, there are other available free agents still who can make at least some impact on their new teams.  Here is a list of the top free agents available still, as of right now.

1. Kawhi Leonard- I've mentioned a lot about the impact he has. Will he choose to return to Toronto where he just won a championship and will have nearly the same roster? Will he head back to Southern California where he grew up and play for the Clippers or Lakers. Will he join the Lakers and create a new super-team with Lebron James and Anthony Davis or join the Clippers who were a playoff team and a superstar away from being championship contenders last year? Signed with LA Clippers
2. DeMarcus Cousins-The mighty have fallen. A couple big injuries have derailed him the past couple seasons and he has turned from better than all-star to hoping for above average starter. Word is that there is not much interest in him from the league and that he might not get much more than the minimum and a one year deal. He should find a team where he can get minutes and prove himself still so next year he can sign a bigger deal. If Lakers miss out on Leonard, that is a top contender to sign him. Signed with LA Lakers
3. Danny Green-Another two time champion, Green has already announced he is waiting to make a decision until Leonard signs. If Leonard returns to Toronto, Green has said he would like to also, but if Leonard doesn't return, Green will likely choose the team that offers him the most money, probably the Dallas Mavericks. Signed with LA Lakers
4. Marcus Morris-It's very likely he is not going back to Boston. If there is any team with money left he will certainly be one of the top targets considering there are not many available players better than he is. Signed with New York Knicks
5. Markieff Morris-He used to be known as the better Morris twin, but with his brother's development over the past few years and his injury last season, he has fallen below his brother. He would still make a good signing for a team looking for a big man off the bench. Signed with Detroit Pistons
6. JaMychal Green-Speaking of big men off the bench, he is one of the better ones and played very well after being traded to the Clippers at the deadline this past season. Clippers are definitely interested in bringing him back. Signed with LA Clippers
7. Kelly Oubre Jr.-After Washington dealt him to the Suns last season, he got a chance to showcase his potential in the league. If any team has money to overpay someone he is one of the most likely candidates at this point, not necessarily because he has proven himself, but because of his potential. Signed with Phoenix Suns
8. Rajon Rondo-He still is a good NBA player and great playmaker and passer. He certainly will not be getting as much money as he did last season though. However he could still return to the Lakers. Signed with LA Lakers
9. Jabari Parker-A couple years ago, he was one of the top young players in the league. He has proven himself to be a capable scorer in the league. However, don't expect him to ever play defense. Signed with Atlanta Hawks
10. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-After a couple years with the Lakers he has still not proven to be an above average player in the league. He could still be a decent pickup for a team's bench though. Lakers still a possibility (if you noticed the Lakers is still a possibility for many players because they will need to sign at least 5 or 6 more players. Signed with LA Lakers
11. Quinn Cook-It is a possibility the Warriors bring him back to help Shaun Livingston as guards off the bench. If anyone offers him decent money he is likely to take it having now appeared in the past two finals. Signed with LA Lakers
12. Noah Vonleh-Had his best season this past year in New York. He will get a deal somewhere, but not for as much as he is hoping for. If he didn't have a good year last season he would probably be out of the league right now. Signed with Minnesota Timberwolves
13. Wilson Chandler-So many injuries over his career have been tough for him, especially last year on Philadelphia and then the Clippers. He could still be a top bench player on a good team. Signed with Brooklyn Nets
14. TJ McConnell-Is likely moving on from the 76ers, is a plenty capable backup point guard. Signed with Indiana Pacers
15. JaVale McGee-Hopefully someone signs him so we can get another year of highlights. Signed with LA Lakers
16. Jamal Crawford-Still has a year or two left and if a team needs bench scoring he is the perfect guy to sign at this point.
17. Iman Shumpert-Is an above average defender still, and can help a playoff team that needs to lock up their defense still. Perfect 3 and D guy off the bench.
18. Tyus Jones-Has had a couple good years as a backup point guard in Minnesota, could get a chance somewhere else. Signed with Memphis Grizzlies
19. Jeremy Lin-Now that he is a NBA champion, Linsanity needs another year. Possible he returns to Toronto or goes somewhere else to be a 12th man.
20. Vince Carter-He has stated he wants to play another year in the league. Hopefully some team will give him a chance. Possible he returns to Toronto where it all began?

Other Free Agents: Carmelo Anthony, Nene, Kenneth Faried, Ivica Zubac, Lance Stephenson, Tyson Chandler, Joakim Noah, Omri Casspi, Udonis Haslem, Pau Gasol, Luol Deng, Ian Clark, Stanley Johnson, Raymond Felton, and many others!!

Better Late Than Never NBA Free Agent Roundup

With NBA free agency now more than a month in, just about every major free agent has signed a deal. Some had major effects such as Lebron James signing with the Lakers and Paul George resigning with the OKC Thunder. Others you may not have heard about, including Mike Scott signing with the Clippers and Zaza Pachulia signing with the Pistons. However, even though most free agents have found a nice home for the upcoming season, the following have not yet and likely will before opening tip.

1. Rodney Hood- A restricted free agent, his stock dropped a lot after being traded to the Cavaliers. The Cavs are apparently interested in bringing him back though, and he is likely going to have a large role on the team with Lebron gone. Very possible the two sides will settle on a short term contract since Hood now has a good opportunity to prove himself worthy of a bigger one.

2. Jahlil Okafor- A few years ago was one of the top picks in the draft and expected to have a bright future as an NBA all-star. Now; he will be lucky to get a minimum deal somewhere and occupy the last seat on the bench. Very likely will have to go overseas, at least temporarily to get back to the NBA.

3. Richard Jefferson - Has done a gone job of extending his NBA career, but it is likely over for him. Possible for him to find a role as a mentor on a team, but probably should call it a career on his own terms.

4. Jameer Nelson - Another member of the probably should retire club. He has spent the past few seasons on a few different teams as a backup point guard and could still give another year in a similar role. With as few open roster spots as there are now, he could likely retire after an impressive career.

5. Jamal Crawford - He opted out of his deal and might end up regretting it. He definitely wants to continue in the league and there is likely one team out there (probably a playoff team looking for a veteran bench player) that will end up signing him to a short term deal.

6. Nick Young - A newly crowned champion even if was as a member of the Warriors, he is definitely one of the most surprising players still looking for a contract. Will likely get a minimum deal at this point, but at least it will be with an NBA team.

7. David West - Most likely to retire. Coming off of a couple championship years as a Warrior, there isn't much else he can do still and likely isn't much he is still able to do.

8. Joe Johnson - After getting traded midyear and ending up with the Rockets to finish the season, he proved he does not have much in the take. Even though he wants to play another year, it is likely no team gives him a chance to do so. Retirement a big likelihood and not by choice.

9. Mario Chalmers - After winning a couple championships and playing in four straight finals early in his career, he has all but disappeared from the league despite hanging on to a roster spot. Still not too old, but might have to reclaim himself overseas because being in the NBA next season is not a guarantee with him.

10. Dwyane Wade - The only person on this list who could sign as soon as he wants. The Miami Heat have a spot waiting for him, but he is deciding on whether or not he wants to play next season. The Heat are the only team he will play for if he returns, I believe he will come back for one more season.

11. Udonis Haslem - Basically, the same thing as Wade, but the Heat haven't played him much at all over the last couple of seasons so if he came back it would be as the last player on the bench. No other team will likely sign him, so basically its retire or resign and not play for Haslem.

12. Jason Terry - Has extended his career more than most could have thought and even though he wants to play another year, it is doubtful any team gives him the chance to do so. One of the most likely retirement candidates.

13. Aaron Brooks - Has about the same likelihood of being on a team opening night as Chris Rock.

14. Jarret Jack - Has about the same likelihood of being on a team opening night as Aaron Brooks.

15. Corey Brewer - Started for a playoff team this past postseason. Will likely be one of the last signings of the offseason for the minimum.

16. Arron Afflalo - A few years ago he was an above average starter and sixth man. Now he apparently is not worth signing. He is definitely a candidate for the late signing for a small amount and ends up playing a role on a team award though.

17. Ramon Sessions - Hopefully will sign with one of the few teams he has not played for before just so he can get closer to that record. Not definite he finds a roster spot this season though.

18. Ty Lawson - Came back to show he can still do a little bit, so might have earned him a spot on a roster this upcoming season.

19. Carmelo Anthony - He is still technically a free agent. 99% odds he signs with Houston though.

20. There are plenty of other people who played at least one game in the NBA last year and are still unsigned. This last spot will go to Tarik Black who most people probably don't realize played in the postseason with the Houston Rockets last year. Might not get a shot to stay in the NBA, at least short term though.

Annual NBA Free Agent Review




With the top free agents already signed, I have composed a list of free agents still available that are worth taking a look out for teams filling out their rosters. There aren’t many if any still superstar players available to sign, but there are still game changers who can help put a team over the top. Now that Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, reportedly Gordon Hayward, Blake Griffin and others agreeing to new contracts, these players are looking for a team still. 

Derrick Rose- (Knicks) The only former MVP that is still a free agent, Rose tried to reclaim himself in one year in New York, did not come out to be the player he once was though. Still can be a starting point guard in this league though, now that Minnesota and Sacramento have signed point guards his options are limited though.
Dirk Nowitzki- (Mavericks) Dallas declined his option although everyone knows it was just so they could have more salary cap flexibility. Nowitzki isn’t going anywhere except for Dallas to finish off a hall of fame career.
Rudy Gay- (Kings) Gay has already had a lengthy career and should have more to offer as long as he can avoid injury. Teams looking for a starting forward at a reasonable price should look to him. He reportedly was interested in signing with Oklahoma City before they traded for Paul George.
Dion Waiters- (Heat) He is basically J.R. Smith in younger form. Waiters had a good year in Miami and proved he can be a scoring man. Likely to get overpaid by some young team looking to spend money. Hopefully his personality can fit in though, because he can get crazy on the court.
Nerlens Noel- (Mavericks) A restricted free agent, there is a large upside for his career and Dallas will almost certainly bring him back after acquiring him at the trade deadline last year. Now that Dirk is close to retirement the Mavericks might start building around him.
Pau Gasol- (Spurs) Gasol opted out of his contract to help the Spurs with their cap situation. At this point in his career he is a good role player to have, but probably not going to be an all-star again. Very likely that he resigns with San Antonio and could finish his career there.
Danilo Gallinari- (Nuggets) Reportedly has agreed to join the Clippers and will head there on a sign and trade deal that will likely force Jamal Crawford out of LA. Gallinari is a solid player and can be an all-star if he plays to his potential.
Otto Porter Jr.- (Wizards) A restricted free agent, was reportedly going to be signed by the Kings until they agreed with Zach Randolph and George Hill. Since the Wizards did not get Paul George it is definitely possible he returns to DC. Which might be awkward for John Wall.
Rajon Rondo- (Bulls) Is it possible the prime of his career was in the very beginning? Had a decent season and is proving to be more of a team player and guy you would want in a locker room. If a team can get him for cheap, could be a top backup point guard or average starter.
Tony Allen- (Grizzlies) He is still one of the best defenders in the league and a team needing a wing defender could really use him. Probably won’t be back with the Grizzlies. 

Other players who can make an impact………..

Mike Dunleavy- (Hawks) The Hawks released Dunleavy to prove they are in full rebuilding mode so any team that can use an outside shooter could sign him.
Tyreke Evans- (Kings) Has had an up and down career and could still play at a high level if he can avoid injuries that have plagued his career the past few years.
Kelly Olynyk- (Celtics) A big man, probably not going to make a huge impact, but certainly can be a big presence off the bench, especially if you need him to guard Kevin Love…
Jeff Green- (Magic) There used to be a question if Durant or Green would have a better career. That didn’t last very long. Green has become a modest role player at least and won’t be very expensive.
Zaza Pachulia- (Warriors) He was a starter on the championship team, no easy task. However, it is a lot easier when you are playing alongside four of the best players in the league. While Golden State has resigned a bunch of key players already, it does not look likely he will be added to that list.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute- (Clippers) After starting for the Clippers the past couple of years he will likely have to find a new home. An above average defender, but below average on offense.
Nick Young- (Lakers) Surprisingly opted out of his contract, but believes he can get more money. Had a rebound year and despite being a knucklehead can still score the ball. Might sign with Warriors.
Thabo Sefolosha- (Hawks) A key part of the Thunder teams and more recently Hawks teams, but will probably end up somewhere else and show how well he can still play defense.
Javale McGee- (Warriors) After being a laughingstock for a while, he had a nice bounce back year as a backup on the championship team. Could possibly resign with Golden State.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope- (Pistons) A still young player, Detroit sees upside on him and could one day be an all-star. He will likely stay in Detroit.        
Amongst the rest, some people who will definitely get a good look at a roster spot are…….
Patrick Patterson- (Raptors) A good player and a good piece for a winning team to add.
Andre Roberson- (Thunder) The Thunder like him and will likely bring him back if they can still afford him.
Michael Beasley- (Bucks) He is still around and making a name for himself.
David Lee- (Spurs) Can still help out a team, like he proved he could in San Antonio.
Manu Ginobili- (Spurs) Might become an annual question, one more year or retire? Probably should retire before he sinks too low in the manner that Tim Duncan did.
Omri Casspi- (Timberwolves) Had a crazy year last year, but has proven to be a top bench player in the league.
Tiago Splitter- (76ers) Was hurt last year, but it wasn’t too long ago he started on elite Spurs teams.
Raymond Felton- (Clippers) Had a good year backing up CP3 last year, should get a deal somewhere to be a backup point guard again.
Ersan Ilyasova- (Hawks) Can be a good player in the league, his career is far from over.
Deron Williams- (Cavaliers) His career has been a disappointment especially in recent years, and based on his performance in the playoffs, it is clear his career is coming to an end in the near future.

Still a chance….

James Jones- (Cavaliers) The best chance he has of playing in the NBA again next year is coming back to Cleveland once again. How many people realize he has been in 7 straight NBA Finals.
Roy Hibbert- (Nuggets) His career has gone down quickly, not very likely he ever is as good as he was a few years ago again.
James Johnson- (Heat) He is good enough to play in the league and played well in Miami.
Brandon Rush- (Timberwolves) Most people do not realize he is still in the league
Dante Cunningham- (Pelicans) Before signing with New Orleans most teams were scared to sign him, now they probably still are, just for other reasons.
Alex Len- (Suns) A young center, probably won’t be an all-star anytime soon though
Ty Lawson- (Kings) His career took a downfall and he has managed to stabilize it slightly, not gonna be a starter again though.
Brandon Bass- (Clippers) His career isn’t going to last much longer, maybe as a 14th or 15th man.
Chris Bosh- (Heat) If he is allowed to play he could be the best free agent remaining although who knows if he can ever play again, let alone be an all-star once more.
Tyler Ennis- (Lakers) Apparently the Lakers are interested in bringing him back.
