What Free Agents are left in the NBA? Finding out more

The 2023 NBA free agency went full blast on June 30 at 6:00 PM ET. Some of the most sought-after players have signed with new teams or stuck to more familiar grounds.

Some of the earliest who penned new contracts were Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, Jerami Grant, Fred VanVleet and Kyrie Irving. Green, Middleton, Grant and Irving remained with the teams they played for last season.

Only “Steady Freddy,” who was with the Toronto Raptors, took his talents somewhere else. VanVleet’s $130 million contract with the Houston Rockets was the largest for a former undrafted player.

The free agency market, though, is still teeming with players who can help playoff teams become title contenders.

Here are some of the top names in NBA free agency:

#1 Brook Lopez

Brook Lopez, the former Milwaukee Bucks center, is an unrestricted free agent. Lopez’s four-year $52 million contract with the Bucks expired after the end of last season.

Lopez is easily the best big man left among free agents. His two-way impact with the Bucks is well-chronicled. He could transform a playoff contender into a legit championship hopeful.

#2 Austin Reaves

Austin Reaves is an unrestricted free agent. The LA Lakers can match any offer the guard/forward gets this summer. Many expected a few teams to entice him with a max four-year $100 million deal and mess up Rob Pelinka’s free agency plans.

That scenario never materialized as no one has come up yet with that offer. Only a few teams such as the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets can give him that kind of money.

It’s looking more and more like the Lakers will keep him at a discount and build a championship-worthy roster. Pelinka has aced the free agency so far.

#3 Dillon Brooks

Dillon Brooks, despite being named to the All-NBA Defensive team was not re-signed by the Memphis Grizzlies after six years with the team.

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in his services despite his apparent beef with Kyrie Irving last season.

#4 D’Angelo Russell

Rob Pelinka made it clear before NBA free agency started that the LA Lakers’ priorities were Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura. Hachimura has been signed to a new deal while Reaves is looking like he’s going to stay with the team.

Pelinka’s savvy moves can still allow him to keep D’Angelo Russell despite their acquisition of former Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent.

#5 Grant Williams

Grant Williams is a restricted free agent. The Boston Celtics, who can match offers for him, are reportedly unwilling to go over $20 million per season.

Williams has a ton of playoff experience, is tough and gritty, and shot 39.7% from deep in his last three seasons in Boston.
