Would the best NBA free agents centers: would Myles Turner really leave an NBA finalist?
The second classified of the NBA have some deal to tend to a surprisingly profoundly profound position in a class of this year.
We break down the potential centers available in the free agents market this year, with the opening of the negotiating windows at 18:00 and 30 June.
Announcement
(Note: the positions are determined by the basketball-reference basketball positions, which means that a player will be listed in the position in which he played the highest number of minutes.)
Position rankings of free agent: Guards | Shooting guards | Small attackers | Power Forwards
1. Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers
State: Free agent without restrictions
Empirical rule: When you were historically underpaid, you are the starting center for a final team, you are one of the best defenders of the League and you are at your peak, you are in line for a relaunch.
Turner, one of the most powerful 3 & D centers of the League, has undergone an offensive transformation in recent years, to the point where the pacer cannot lose it.
Announcement
What makes sense: With not a lot of money on the market and the fact that both parties seem to be motivated to continue their partnership, they expect Turner and Indian to find common land on a new agreement that seems significantly richer than those before.
2. Naz Reid, Minnesota Timberwolves
State: Player option
Option value: $ 15.022.464
There is no doubt that some teams will see Reid as a starting center, above all given his touch from the outside. However, the wolves used him in a backup capacity during his career, which makes you ask if Reid himself is open to chase an initial role.
Reid is rooted in the local community and really seems treasure of being a wood of timber. Obviously, this does not mean that only everything that is in front of him will sign, but it seems likely that he can be willing to sacrifice something to stay.
Announcement
What makes sense: The best path could be to wait until next summer by collecting his option and hoping that more teams have money to spend. This also gives him another year of data to determine if he really wants to be a career backup.
3. Brook Lopez, Milwaukee Bucks
State: Free agent without restrictions
Lopez may be 37 years old. It could be slow. It could be down. But man is still a physical giant that will obstruct the paint, block the blows and drain a ton of 3 episodes.
These are precious votes in today’s NBA, although Lopez does not necessarily adapt to the “Switch Everything” ideology. As such, there should be a market for a team, especially among the good teams that seek someone reliable that he has experience in the championship.
Announcement
What makes sense: Being with the Bucks another year is not a bad game, but if Lopez is looking for another title, he will have to look outside the organization and identify a closer team.
4. Clint Capela, Atlanta Hawks
State: Free agent without restrictions
Capela is aging and less dynamic, but it is still a hard rebound that challenges the blows to the edge and remains a solid threat of the lob.
While his level of compensation will decrease because of his age and an initial role is no longer a safe thing, many teams should take a look at him.
What makes sense: The Los Angeles Lakers will undoubtedly have internal encounters on Capela, considering his theoretical fit with Luka Dončić. It should be the path that Capela chooses, there is a world in which it will again produce scores of impressive boxes.
5. Moritz Wagner, Orlando Magic
State: Team option
Option value: $ 11.000.000
Announcement
Wagner torn his ACL in December, so we should see the teams offering him agreements that benefit them considerably in terms of flexibility.
If we suppose that you return in full health, Wagner immediately becomes one of the best backup signals of the great men in the championship, with the ability to lengthen the floor and provide a necessary spacing.
What makes sense: Despite the injury and the fact that it could be a free agent without restrictions next summer, magic should try to keep it in the long term. Perhaps Wagner is inclined to accept a longer agreement of the value of less money than he earns now in the hope of being able to bounce after his injury.
6. Guerschon Yabusele, Philadelphia 76ers
State: Free agent without restrictions
Announcement
Using last year’s Olympics as a display window, Yabusele has made the most of its NBA return, becoming a key offensive contribution for the Sixers.
The 29 -year -old, affectionately known as Dancing Bear, is in a phase of his career when optimizing his salary and role should be his maximum priority.
What makes sense: Yabusele should listen to the Sixers but to seek absolutely the biggest possible pay day, regardless of the team, since he is approaching at 30. For a boy like him, who occasionally can play unfortunately, guaranteeing his future is the goal.
The best indeed
Jaylin Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder
State: Team option
Option value: $ 2,187,699
Announcement
Williams, who was enrolled in the second round of 2022, is in an interesting situation. If the Thunder takes its option, it will enter 2026 as a free agent without restrictions. If they don’t do it, it will become a free free agent this summer. Williams is a solid talent, even if he is not playing a lot of minutes. The great 6 feet man-9 has more double double for his name, which underlines the vastness of his skill set. Many teams should keep an eye on it.
Andre Drummond, Philadelphia 76ers
State: Player option
Option value: $ 5,000,000
One of the greatest rebounds of his generation can dictate his future, but the market has not been strong for him in recent years.
If you stick to Philadelphia, it is likely that it will get a lot of minutes if Joel Embiid was not available.
