Isn’t Kyle Lowry an unrestricted free agent after this year? Aron Baynes is also a team option for 2022/23.
They’re both on our 2021 list: link to hoopsrumors.com
Thanks Luke!
Beverly has two yrs left, according to hoopshype.
Overpaid imo.
ShaiGA should accept no less than whatever the max is. PER 21, on/off +10, 3pt% rising, flexible for 3 spots.
But that is a year away at least. Actually I should not have perused this list in the first place!
Lil D Top 3 (LDT3) rub his crystal ball and predicts someone will overpay Aaron Gordon…
Probably Orlando, since they did the same with Isaac
Hmm wonder if Lowry gets above the MLE –
Probably deserves it but Id imagine he’d have a much better chance at a ring if accepts the MLE
What’s it going to take for Luka to leave Dallas?
I don’t think he’ll ever leave Dallas
Some of the big names have resigned. So it’s not as top heavy as before. Still it’s a big class. Don’t know how many top FA will actually be available. Knicks should be in market for at least one good young FA. At this point I think they go the trade route. Do something by TD and get ready for draft. I still see PG as biggest need. Even with Quickly as a great find. David Duke has to be the one they go for. Big time potential for 2way player. In the draft
Westbrook won’t be 33 till Nov bro. (32) still like Westbrook
Knicks needs would be PG, SF if no trades. I can see them go after Rozier or (T Prince, M Bridge) at market value. Both are a good fit to start with Toppin. Randle is having a big yr. Still see Toppin starting at PF before yr is done. We can get good value for Randle. Knicks future finally looking up. Amazing what patience and commitment can do for a team.
Thanks Parents.

It’s amazing that with traditional, good, old, American named players like these that NBA basketball isn’t more popular !!!
I’m gonna have a hard time choosing just one !!
Perhaps I can compromise and use a half a dozen.
I didn’t know this was a ‘Baby Shower’? Or, are you the blushing bride dreaming again?
So basketball would be more popular if players had names such as Chris, Christopher, Steve, Bob, Rob, Robert, Robbie, Matt, Matthew, Dave, David, etc…?
My support of various pro sports teams had it’s origin in them having players with names that matched my own or that of friends, relatives, etc. Can’t say that I’ve come in contact with ANYONE with the names on that list.
Ayton is listed as a RFA in this feature, but in numerous articles on Hoops Rumors, he is referred to as being an UFA in the upcoming offseason.
He’s an RFA. Which articles are you referring to? Just did a quick search in our Suns section and didn’t see him referred to as unrestricted in any stories from the last few weeks.
it’s crazy that Jabari Parker might be the most washed up guy on the list , and he’s only 27
Georgios Kalaitzakis signed for Pana in Greece
Thanks, that’s been updated.
Luke or community: What is the current status of Luke Samanic ? Is he a cap hit or cap hold for a current team?
Samanic was waived by the Spurs before they picked up his 2022/23 option, so he doesn’t count against their cap at all this season.
He was also waived by the Knicks before the end of last season and didn’t catch on with another NBA team after that, so he doesn’t count as a cap hold for any team.
Got it Luke!Was trying to size up Knicks buying power. They used practically most/all of their cash consideration with the ball-of-confusion Detroit trade on draft day. They have about what 300k left?
The cash-trading limit is $6,363,000 this year. The amount the Knicks sent out was reported as $6MM, though I haven’t been able to confirm whether it was exactly $6MM or whether that number was rounded. But yeah, if they have any left, it’s probably not more than about $300-400K.
