NBA free market opens on the fifth day, which players are left in the free market? Let’s take a look first. Which players will not have a contract in the end?
Point Guard: Paul, Westbrook, Melton, Ben Simmons, Gidey, Brogdon.
Paul and Westbrook should not be short of contracts in the end, and it is highly likely that one of these two people will go to the Clippers. The Bucks expressed their idea of cooperation to Paul, but he said he wanted to stay closer to home to play. If the Clippers choose Westbrook, Paul may also join the Lakers or the Suns.
Melton has become a hot commodity. Now the Lakers, Warriors, and Clippers are interested in him. It is estimated that they will choose Westbrook, Paul and others after Melton determines his next home. But it is said that he negotiated with the Warriors last year and returned to the Warriors after he recovered from the injury, so he has a great hope of going to the Warriors. It depends on what the two Los Angeles heroes can use to impress him.
As for Giddy still to stay with the Bulls, both sides probably have an interest in each other. There is no movement now, it should be that the contract has not reached an agreement. Once the contract is agreed, it should be officially announced that tomorrow is the day for the NBA to sign the contract, and if nothing unexpected happens, a lot of signing news will appear tomorrow.
Ben Simmons estimated that the team still needs the basic salary. He canceled the Clippers some time ago, so it is not easy to say which team to go to next season, but there are reports that if his basic salary is, it will become a hot item for the championship team. It is said that the Knicks have been flirting with him, and they are probably waiting for the official announcement.
Brogden probably will be very difficult to have a contract, and he may have to retire. This point guard has too many injuries.
Point Guards: Thomas Jr., Grimes, Lillard, Payton Jr. According to reports, no team has expressed interest in Thomas Jr., and it is indeed difficult to believe that although this shooting guard is very short, his scoring ability is still very good. Last season, he averaged 24 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game with the Nets, and his three-point shooting percentage was 34.9%. He was indeed not efficient, but no one should have it, right? I can only say that NBA coaches do not like players without defense.
It is said that he asked the Nets for a high salary of 30 million yuan per year, and the Nets directly chose to refuse... After Lillard was bought out, it was reported that many teams contacted him, but it seems that it doesn't make much sense now, because it is unknown whether Lillard can reappear next season. But at least it proves that my cousin is still very popular. He should not be troubled by salary in his next career. After returning, he can join the strong team to pursue the championship with peace of mind.
Grimes averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in 76ers. He is still a free agent. It is said that Philadelphia still wants to keep him, but there is no salary space, but there are few teams that have bid against him in the free market.
Peton is not clear now, but it is likely that the basic salary or 5 million will continue to stay with the Warriors. It is not very useful for players in his system to go to other teams. It is better to stay with Curry and make a pendant with peace of mind.
Front line: Kofi, Martin, Kumingga, Boucher, Lyles, Achuwa
The Clippers obviously don't want Kofi anymore. During the injury of coach Lu last season, Brian Shaw directly reduced Kofi's playing time, which was very effective, and the playoffs were almost useless. Therefore, he has almost no role in the Clippers. Now there is no team that expresses his intentions towards him and feels that there is a real risk of unemployment. Needless to say,
Kuminga is still in the process of pulling up. The Warriors gave him a qualification offer of 7.9 million yuan, then asked him to go to the free market to test the waters, and then decided whether to match it, but it was not ideal after a round trip. The Heat want to lower the price, but the Nets said they were not interested and the Kings were unwilling to give more chips...
Kumingga now makes the Warriors very embarrassed because there is a bird right issue. After other teams quote, the Warriors can only have half the value. For example, the Heat want him and the offer is 30 million, but when it comes to the Warriors, it only has 1,500 yuan. The Warriors have to give Moody or Hilde to match the value.
Achuwa was a little embarrassed. He left the Knicks very high-profile and was very dissatisfied with his playing time, but he did not expect that he would have a mediocre response to entering the free market. Can the Clippers sign him with a basic salary?
Center: Horford, Wagner, Bolbore
Horford is likely to have discussed with the Warriors, and it will be announced officially. Big Wagner probably will give him a basic salary contract based on the face of Wagner. No one cares about Polboel now, and I don’t know where the next home is yet!
There are so many free agents who don’t have contracts. Do you think it would be a pity for anyone who doesn’t have a contract? Or will they all stay?
