The NBA division semi-finals are still in progress, but for most teams, the 23-24 season has ended, and they need to focus their attention and energy on the free market during the off-season. For this reason, the American media Hoopshype has also selected the free market big fish list in advance, including the Warrior Clay 15, the Clippers Harden 6, the Lakers James 3, and Weishao 21.
Fifth place: Anubi (player option)
Despite the lack of organization and the ability to hold the ball to strengthen understanding, Arnold could not become a top player with a high probability, but he was a reasonable championship puzzle. After he joined, the Knicks smoothly transformed into a real strong team.
On the offensive side, he is an excellent fixed-point shooter, and also has the ultimate ability of mid distance after holding the ball. Defense is his specialty. He has height, confrontation, toughness and defensive instinct, and is an elite level defender.
Fourth place: Siakam
Like Anubi, Sika continues to dominate the game after changing the team in the middle of the season.
In addition to the lack of stable three-point projection, Siakam can do almost everything on the court, and even play the fifth position of a small team.
In the playoffs, he has continuously completed self certification. Seen from the influence of the playoffs alone, Sika is the real core of Pacers.
Third place: James (player option)
James is about to turn 40, but he is still one of the best players in the NBA. In the first round against the defending champion Nuggets, he once again completed his self certification.
In the reasonable playing time and role positioning, James can still play absolute dominance in a single game, scoring, organizational creativity and rebounding are trustworthy.
For most teams, James is still a high-quality reinforcement target, and I believe the Lakers will try their best to keep him.
Second place: Paul George (player option)
With the growth of age, Paul George's explosive power has declined seriously, leading him to more and more inclined to use shooting to solve problems on the offensive end.
He does have the ability to shoot with difficulty, but a large number of difficult shots affect his efficiency. Even so, in health, he is still one of the best two-way players in active service.
The Clippers are also willing to keep him, but they hope to sign a contract slightly lower than the top salary. After all, Kaka also chose to reduce his salary appropriately.
First place: Maxi
There is no doubt that Maxi is at the top of the list. After Harden left, Maxi grew further and provided reliable organizational ability.
With quick steps and comprehensive offensive means, Maxi is becoming one of the best defenders in active service.
More importantly, he is only 23 years old and has at least 5-10 years to go. I believe all teams are willing to offer him a big contract.
6-10: Harden, Drozan, Bridges, Monk and Toha
Harden is the representative of this team. He was one of the best players in the league, winning MVP and several scoring kings.
However, after suffering injuries and increasing age, Harden has transformed into role players, as have other players. They are all high-quality first team players, but they are no longer regarded as qualified stars and team cores.
11-15: Russell, Queckley, Clarkston, Pope and Clay
This is also a qualified starting player, but the star level is not as good as the previous one. Russell and Clay are the best examples.
Russell plays the three leading roles in the Lakers, but his price is only about 18 million. Clay was the best 3D player in the league, but after a serious injury, his defense fell too fast and has become a role player.
16-20: Haten, Varan, Hilde, Ubray and Jones;
21-25: Wei Shao, Brown, Bisley, Sadikbei and Tuoping;
26-30: Big Wagner, Lee Kyle, Little Garry Trent, Ding Weidi and Aokoro.
