Eric Gordon (Player)

What I posted as a notable list. I didn't feel like listing almost all two hundred names.

One player that could really help a team is Chris Paul to Dallas. Kyrie is probably out until at least January projected. Dallas could resign Exum and give their $5+ million exception to Chris Paul. I think that could hold down the fort until Kyrie gets back and at least make them competitive if not more.

Really boring free agency, barely any starter quality guys. Nickiel is most interesting unrestricted guy. Also think you missed maybe the best free agent in Quentin grimes. He was ridiculous in Philly even better than kuminga the next best player who could move imo.

Very few teams going get a starter in free agency I think. Trade market will be interesting however

Turner

Yep I forgot Grimes. Another Maverick that was given up on.

Raptors and Masai Ujiri part ways. He was responsible for building the 2019 championship team.

Lakers need to pick up Capela.

He fits. Do they have more than vet minimum?

Someone will be paying him a lot

The Lakers will have access to exceptions like the non-taxpayer mid-level exception and the biannual exception, but using them could hard cap the team at the first apron, according to Sports Illustrated.

Lebron and DFS will likely decline their player options so they can use the MLE. Lebron probably takes a discount to help the team and DFS gets a new contract with a lower starting salary is what I'm guessing.

Wouldnt count on lebron taking a discount again

I forget who it was, but someone contacted the Raptors about his availability this past season I believe.

I think denver still has an opening. Connelly a free agent in minny...

Denver should be making moves with players like the Lakers should. Nuggets are a piece away.

It would be nice that when Jokic comes off the floor the Nuggets don't completely fall apart offensively.
