2025 Free NBA Agency: 10 Best Free Agents still available
We are two days from the NBA free agency and we have seen some moves that have changed the NBA on their heads – Myles Turner in Milwaukee, with Damian Lillard who was given up, was one that nobody saw arriving. In addition, most of the players at the top of the cards of free-james Harden agents, Julius Randle, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Ty Jerome-Avered their names removed from the list, usually signed with their team.
However, there are good players available. Here are the first 10 free agents still on the Board of Directors who head to the 3 day of the free agency.
1) Damian Lillard
The name at the top of this list is the new shocking addition. On the one hand, Lillard has the credentials of the Hall of Fame-Sette All-Nba, nine times All-Star, a member of the 75th anniversary of the NBA-Ci, scored on average 24.9 points and 7.1 assists a match last year. On the other hand, this is a boy who is about to turn 35 who will miss the most – and probably everything – of the next season who recovers from a torn Achille. His buyout means that Lillard is still paying $ 112.6 million in the next two years, allowing him to land where he wants and not worrying about financial concerns. Do not expect it to make a quick decision, and even when it does, it could be a situation in which it does not sign with the team until next summer, just to help the team’s limit situation. A team name that often emerges in the voices is Miami – there has long been a mutual interest – but Lillard can and will take his time with this decision.
2) Josh Giddey (limited)
There is not much drama here. Giddey is about to sign with the Chicago Bulls again, the only questions are years and money. Giddey took some time to find his foot with the bulls after being exchanged by Oklahoma City (for Alex Caruso), but after the All-Star break, he marked an average of 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game.
Now it is the focus of the offense in Chicago, and it will not go anywhere
3) Jonathan Kuminga (limited)
It was one of the most interesting questions that entered the free agency: Kuminga and warriors were mutually ready to separate, but it would almost certainly have happened through a sign-e-trade (the only team with Cape Room to sign it was Brooklyn, and this is not the direction that the goals were going). There are interested teams, but putting together a sign and a trade for a boy who comes out of his beginner’s agreement is a challenge because he has hard the team that leads him to the first apron and the parties must navigate in the complex and arcana rule of compensation of the basic year. Nobody has still intensified, but we are talking about a young athletic player who has marked 15.3 points per game on average despite having spent a part of his season in Steve Kerr’s Dog House. Kuminga re-reflecting with warriors is not out of the question.
4) Cam Thomas (limited)
For a team looking for someone who comes out of the bench (or beginnings) and taking them buckets, Thomas is the boy. He scored a game on average a game last season in Brooklyn, even if he is not the most efficient marker out there (34.7% from 3) and there is not much defense. The networks hold his rights and are willing to discuss a cartel agreement, or alternatively, could end up in Brooklyn.
5) Mo Wagner
The magic has chosen not to take its option from $ 11 million, making it a free agent without restrictions, however, Orlando still maintains his bird’s rights and the expectation is that the young center will remain with his brother in Florida. Wagner has been leaving an ACL tear since December, who interrupted his season last year and probably limits him to the start of his neighbor. Before accident, Wagner scored 12.9 points per game on average and is a solid five backup.
6) Quentin Grimes (limited)
The two guards thrived after being exchanged by Dallas in Filadelphia on the deadline, with an average of 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists a match for the 76er. There is not much drama here. Grimes should sign with Philadelphia again in the next few days. The Sixers gave him the priority to keep Guerschon Yabusele and the only questions are money and years.
7) Deandre Ayton
Ayton has the talent to be on top of this list, has marked on average 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game last season. However, well known questions about his attention and worries out of the field- An athletic retail story He is late for team flights, late for rehabilitation assignments, launch out of ears in the changing rooms and largely being a diva – having fresh teams on the idea of having Ayton in their locker room. Including Portland, who has enrolled the centers in the last two years and has just purchased Ayton, essentially paying $ 35 million so as not to be with its young players. Ayton has been connected to the Lakers in the Free Agency and if Lebron James and JJ Reddick manage to find a way to keep Ayton engaged and not a distraction, it is exactly what Los Angeles needs. Who have not skipped against him to sign him – nor does he have no one else – he talks about worries.
8) to the Horford
In a limited role, it can be a two -way and winning player: it can mark inside, break down the corner or the 3S path and is still a quality defender. However, at the age of 37, he cannot take him for great minutes at night. Horford was mainly linked to Lakers and Warriors, he probably signs with one of those two teams unless another team emerges with playoff aspirations in depth.
9) Russell Westbrook
When he is at his best, Westbrook and his energy are still changing the game. However, when the inconsistent Westbrook is bad, his decisions can be skyscrapers. He marked an average of 13.3 points and 6.1 assists for the game for the Nugget last season and had a good chemistry with Nikola Jokić, but refused his option of $ 3.5 million to return to Mile High City, looking for a wider deal and a wider role in a team. He was strongly linked to Sacramento.
10) Chris Paul
The future leading guard of the Hall of Fame is still an elite general and wants to play at least another season, somewhere can help a team win (and if it acts as a mentor, as if it were Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama last season in San Antonio, even better). But Paul wants to be close to his family again in Los Angeles. This triggered voices that he meets with the clippers, as well as the only ones.
Other names to look at: Spencer Dinwiddie, Chris Boucher, Amir Coffey, Precious Achiuwa.
Not in this list: Malik Beasley, who is a free agent without restrictions, but nobody will approach him in the light of Investigation of gambling in progress.
