Previously, Shams predicted that the NBA's offseason this year might become the craziest offseason in history. Due to the instability of multiple teams and the uncertainty of many big-name stars, as well as the surge of high-quality free agents this offseason, all indicate that the NBA will usher in a major reshuffle this offseason. Let’s take a look at the offseason free agent situation, including full free agents, player option players and restricted free agents.
Harden, James and Irving lead the players who hold the player options
LeBron James: The current news is that James will implement the $52.6 million player option next season and continue to stay in the Lakers. James, 40, is still strong this season, and can average 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists per game. James is likely to be the last dance next season!
James Harden: Harden has a $36.3 million player option and is expected to break out of the contract and re-sign the contract with the Clippers. Of course, Harden may also sign contracts with other championship teams, it depends on who has the higher bid. This season, Harden averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, leading the team alone to fifth in the Western Conference. His strong bottoming ability is his biggest advantage.
Kyrie Irving: Irving has experienced a serious injury this season and will not return until the middle or late next season. He currently has a player option of $43 million. Before the Mavericks' trade deadline, Doncic exchanged for Thick Brows and won the No. 1 pick, which greatly increased the team's strength. If the Mavericks want to achieve quick results, they may trade Irving and change to a healthy ball-holding core, such as Harden. Other restrictive free agents with player options include Randle, VanVleet, Finney Smith, Naz Reed, Wagner, Middleton and Seble. Randall performed well in the playoffs for the Timberwolves this season and was the absolute hero of the Timberwolves to enter the Western Conference Finals. Randall is expected to jump out of the contract and sign a long-term large contract with the Timberwolves again. The same situation is also true for Wagner, and Magic will also re-sign the contract with him. Players such as VanVleet and Middleton, who are highly paid and incompetent, are expected to implement the player options and get the money first. As for Naz Reed, he had won the best sixth man before, space-type inside. But he performed poorly in the Western Conference Finals and his value may plummet. I don’t know what choice he would make.
Complete free agent inventory
Miles Turner: The best center in the free agent market has entered the division finals for two consecutive years. This year, the Pacers are likely to reach the finals, and the championship is not out of reach. Turner is an indispensable presence in the inside and is expected to renew his contract with the Pacers.
Brook Lopez: He has the ability to eat cakes and protect frames of traditional centers, and has a reliable three-pointer. He is 37 years older, but he still averages 32 minutes per game. Once Antetokounmpo leaves, the Bucks face reconstruction. Daluo will probably leave too, and good birds should choose trees to live in.
Al Horford: He is already 39 years old and faces a retirement decision. The Celtics will lay off major employees. Unless Horford is willing to accept the veteran's basic salary.
Chris Paul: A 40-year-old veteran, attended all last season, but his playing time was greatly reduced. Also facing the retirement decision, you can sign a mini middle class contract.
Ty Jerome: A high-quality player in the Cavaliers, a member of the 180 regular season club, ranked third in the sixth-person vote this season. Many teams will offer him a quote, and the higher the price will win.
Malik Beasley: Pistons' sixth best man, scored 300+ three-pointers in the regular season. The Pistons will likely renew his contract with him for an annual salary of $15 million.
Other full free agents are Bruce Brown, Leville, Trent Jr., Alexander Walker, Chris Boucher, Hardaway Jr., Schroeder, Tyasse Jones and Adams. These are all qualified substitute rotation players and can all become the puzzle for the championship for strong teams.
Restricted free agents Inventory
Restricted free agents means that other teams can give the player a quote contract, and the player's parent team has the right to choose whether the same price matches the contract within 48 hours. If the contract is matched, the parent team can keep the player. On the contrary, the player belongs to the quotation party.
Josh Gidedy: a 23-year-old all-around defender who performed well in the second half of the season, winning the Lakers to become famous.
Quentin Grimes: 76 injured soldiers took the lead after the entire camp, scoring 40+ multiple times, averaging 21.9 points per game. Next season, the Great, George and Maxi will make a comeback, plus the Tanhua lottery. It is difficult for Grimes to have such a chance to perform again. He may change his family.
Jonathan Kumingga: The Warriors trained a forward and had certain contradictions with Cole and were often hidden. There is a high probability that you will join other teams during the offseason.
Other well-known players include Keon Ellis of the Kings and Aldama of the Grizzlies.
Of course, there are two big-name stars, Antetokounmpo and Durant, who are almost going to apply for a deal. Their whereabouts also directly affect the ownership of free agents. The lively free market will officially open on July 1st, let’s wait and see!
