The NBA Finals are firmly in the rearview mirror, and the draft has also come and gone. Which means we’re now at the point when front offices turn their efforts toward wining and dining while basketball newsbreakers prepare for what’s essentially their Super Bowl.
But unlike other off-seasons, this year’s free agent class isn’t quite as dazzling — an available player pool largely comprised of middle-class talent in a market that’s trended toward squeezing out middle-class salaries thanks to the new, intimidating financial restrictions.
Although that’s not to say it won’t be a summer filled with impact signings. Some of the most meaningful moves are the ones that bolster an already established core, not always the ones that shake things up. Think back to last year and Russell Westbrook joining the Nuggets, the Clippers adding Kris Dunn or the now-champion Thunder signing Isaiah Hartenstein to provide the exact type of rebounding effort and interior stability that helped them capture a title.
So to get you ready for the off-season, here’s a look at all 30 teams’ biggest needs and who they might covet as negotiations officially begin on Monday at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT.
RFA = Restricted Free Agent, UFA = Unrestricted Free Agent
Atlanta Hawks: Frontcourt size
Recently minted general manager Onsi Saleh, an Edmonton native, has gotten off to a roaring start architecting the Hawks. He’s already revitalized the team’s interior presence by adding Kristaps Porzingis via a low-cost trade, then drafting Asa Newell after moving down 10 spots in a deal that may have made Atlanta the biggest winner following Round 1.
Saleh’s work isn’t done, however, if the Hawks are keen on making noise in an Eastern Conference ripe for the picking. While the additions will help, the Latvian big man’s health is no guarantee — missing 40 games last year and 25 the season before — and Newell is an unproven rookie.
Potential targets: Clint Capela (UFA), Brook Lopez (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Precious Achiuwa (UFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA), Paul Reed (UFA), Sandro Mamukelashvili (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Isaiah Jackson (RFA)
Boston Celtics: Low-cost centre depth
On the opposite end of the Porzingis deal was the Celtics, who, after shipping off the one-time all-star — and Jrue Holiday in a separate trade — also face the prospect of losing their two other rotation centres (Al Horford and Luke Kornet) in free agency.
While the upcoming campaign may appear lost before it started after Jayson Tatum went down in the playoffs, and it was followed up by salary-shedding manoeuvres, the trio of Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and the recently acquired Anfernee Simons have the talent to prove otherwise.
Potential targets: Al Horford (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Thomas Bryant (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Bismack Biyombo (UFA), Jaxson Hayes (UFA), Paul Reed (UFA), Bol Bol (UFA), Sandro Mamukelashvili (UFA), Christian Koloko (RFA)
Brooklyn Nets: Lead guard, foundational pieces
It’s hard to figure out what exactly the Nets want to accomplish in 2025-26. On one hand, they’ve still got a pair of handy vets in Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton — each garnering interest in the trade market — and enter the off-season with the most cap space in the league to try and add even more talent, maybe even poach it.
Yet on the other hand, they just became the first team in NBA history to make five first-round draft selections. So are they looking to push further up the standings now or committing to a youth movement with hopes of future lottery luck instead?
Potential targets: Josh Giddey (RFA), Jonathan Kuminga (RFA), Deandre Ayton (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Tre Mann (RFA), D’Angelo Russell (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Spencer Dinwiddie (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA)
Charlotte Hornets: Veteran frontcourt help
The Hornets have done well in the past couple of days to not only improve the roster but also upgrade the culture of a ball club that’s hardly had an identity in recent years. Not only drafting a quarter of high-character rookies but also trading for an entering his prime Collin “Young Bull” Sexton, albeit on an expiring deal.
Bringing an adult into the room — preferably a centre that can shepherd the likes of Ryan Kalkbrenner and 23-year-old Moussa Diabaté, who’ll likely get plenty of reps after Charlotte traded away Mark Williams (again) and Jusuf Nurkic — would only further help that cause. The mid-season addition of “Unc” Taj Gibson last year proved to be a recent example of just that kind of impact on a young locker room.
Potential targets: Brook Lopez (UFA), DeAndre Jordan (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Bismack Biyombo (UFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), James Johnson (UFA)
Chicago Bulls: Younger/faster Nikola Vucevic replacement
Bulls GM Arturas Karnisovas finally hit the reset button, kinda. He shipped off most of the old guys — most recently moving a 28-year-old Lonzo Ball for a 25-year-old Isaac Okoro — to further push the team’s chips towards its youth-infused run-and-gun style. (If only he could figure out how to ask for draft capital in future negotiations.)
An outlier in that approach, however, is Chicago’s starting centre, who’ll be entering his age-35 season and simply can’t keep up with the many speedy youngsters.
Potential targets: Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Myles Turner (UFA), Deandre Ayton (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Jaxson Hayes (UFA), Santi Aldama (RFA), Christian Koloko (RFA)
Cleveland Cavaliers: Wing/forward depth
If there’s a team that ought to be most excited about the muddled landscape out East, it’s the Cavs. Their 64-win season would likely have been remembered far more fondly had injuries not stymied their post-season run. But with its roster largely intact for at least one more go at it, they enter 2025-26 in pole position atop the conference.
One of the bigger questions surrounding Cleveland’s summer plans was what Ty Jerome’s future has in store. Yet after the Cavaliers traded for Ball, presumably to slot in behind Darius Garland, it appears the breakout guard is set for a departure. To acquire its new backup floor general, however, Cleveland had to part ways with arguably its best wing defender in Isaac Okoro.
Potential targets: Amir Coffey (UFA), Kai Jones (UFA), Precious Achiuwa (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA)
Dallas Mavericks: Established low-cost lead guard
While there’s plenty of focus on the addition of Cooper Flagg in Dallas, the “win now” Mavericks, as GM Nico Harrison has repeatedly described, are still in need of a floor general — that can be had with the use of their $5.7 million taxplayer mid-level exception — while Kyrie Irving recovers from an ACL injury.
Hence why they appear to be the “overwhelming favourites” to sign D’Angelo Russell, per NBA Insider Marc Stein.
Potential targets: D’Angelo Russell (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Spencer Dinwiddie (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA)
Denver Nuggets: Cheap backup centre
Had Game 7 of the West Semis gone Denver’s way and not OKC’s, the world would be a very different place right now. But alas, the Nuggets still have arguably the best player in the world in Nikola Jokic, so they’re never far off from making another title run.
However, the Serbian superstar could use a breather now and again, so some depth behind him would go a long way. And preferably of the low-cost variety
Potential targets: Al Horford (UFA), DeAndre Jordan (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Thomas Bryant (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Bismack Biyombo (UFA), Jaxson Hayes (UFA), Paul Reed (UFA), Bol Bol (UFA), Sandro Mamukelashvili (UFA), Christian Koloko (RFA)
Detroit Pistons: Perimeter production
The Pistons were NBA darlings last season after a remarkable 30-win jump from the year prior, as they snapped a six-year playoff drought. But now, Detroit prepares for a campaign where they won’t be able to catch their opponents by surprise.
Adding more outside shooting will go a long way in making life easier for Cade Cunningham and co. Giving him more perimeter weapons (specifically in the post-season), especially if sharpshooter Malik Beasley — who’s NBA future might be in jeopardy — were to leave in free agency.
Canada’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker would fit that archetype well, which is why the Pistons are reportedly pushing to create the necessary space in order to pursue him.
Potential targets: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (UFA), Ty Jerome (UFA), Duncan Robinson (UFA), Quentin Grimes (RFA), Cam Thomas (RFA), Tre Mann (RFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Amir Coffey (UFA), Malik Beasley (UFA), Tim Hardaway Jr. (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA)
Golden State Warriors: Sign-and-trade partner for Jonathan Kuminga
Both through words and actions, it’s become evident that Kuminga is not part of Golden State’s future plans. And with the Warriors in position to make at least one more push with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, using the athletic 22-year-old RFA as a bargaining chip makes a lot of sense.
Ultimately, whether it’s through trade or free agency, the Bay Area squad needs to add some size around the rim.
Potential targets: Brook Lopez (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Deandre Ayton (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA)
Houston Rockets: Veteran wing
H-Town did most of its work well before free agency begins by trading for Kevin Durant and re-signing a chunk of its roster, namely Fred VanVleet and Jabari Smith Jr.
And with that, the Rockets appear set to challenge the Thunder in the West. But with a good chunk of the team still so young, having another vet, ideally one with playoff experience, would be a nice addition.
Potential targets: Duncan Robinson (UFA), Bruce Brown Jr. (UFA), Larry Nance Jr., Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Tim Hardaway Jr. (UFA), Luke Kennard (UFA), Amir Coffey (UFA), James Johnson (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA)
Indiana Pacers: Frontcourt depth
After a near-improbable run to within one win of an NBA title, it’s hard to know what next season has in store for the Pacers. With Tyrese Haliburton set to miss a good chunk of time, can Indiana stay afloat until he returns?
They deserve the benefit of the doubt after the 2025 post-season, but they also have some decisions to make now. For starters, will they pony up and pay Myles Turner so the long-time Pacers big man doesn’t walk in free agency? In a market starving for centres, he’s amongst the best available. So it’ll likely take a good chunk of change to keep him around (unless he takes a team-friendly deal), and that’s no guarantee from a Pacers team that hasn’t gone into the luxury tax in nearly two decades.
Potential targets: Myles Turner (UFA), Deandre Ayton (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Larry Nance Jr., Kevon Looney (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Brook Lopez (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Sandro Mamukelashvili (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Isaiah Jackson (RFA)
Los Angeles Clippers: Reserve guard/big
After re-signing James Harden, the Clippers are largely locked into their group for the foreseeable future. And that’s not a bad thing, given they’ve been a mainstay in the West playoff picture for the last half-decade and remain one of the league’s best defences.
But as one of the league’s oldest teams as well, adding some minutes-eating players could make the challenge of staying fresh come playoff time that much easier.
Potential targets: Tyus Jones (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Thomas Bryant (UFA), Sandro Mamukelashvili (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Jaxson Hayes (UFA), Paul Reed (UFA)
Los Angeles Lakers: Starting centre/lob threat
Even before Luka Doncic dropped into the Lakers’ lap, they needed a starting-calibre centre. And now that LeBron James has opted in for the 2025-26 campaign, L.A. has no time to waste.
The centre dilemma won’t be an easy solve for GM Rob Pelinka, however, as the Lakers are hardcapped at the second apron (presumably ruling out top UFA centre Myles Turner), and after the failed Mark Williams trade, the rest of the league now has a baseline of what to ask for in negotiations.
Yet Pelinka may have just found an ace up his sleeve with the sudden emergence of Deandre Ayton on the open market, as the former No. 1 pick reportedly searches for a “winning situation.”
Potential targets: Deandre Ayton (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Brook Lopez (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Thomas Bryant (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA)
Memphis Grizzlies: Veteran big, shooting
After sending away Desmond Bane and acquiring Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Cole Anthony (using more than 100 per cent of the traded player exemption to do so), the Grizzlies are hard-capped at the first apron.
And with a Jaren Jackson Jr. extension looming large, it’s not likely that any available, or future, salary space will be used on much else but locking down the former Defensive Player of the Year.
Potential targets: Brook Lopez (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA)
Miami Heat: Backcourt depth
While Miami is a far cry from the world beaters that made a run to the Finals as an eighth seed, it’s still built on that hard-nosed Heat Culture Pat Riley preaches so often. Proving as much with a late push into the playoffs through the Play-In, even after the Jimmy Butler fiasco.
So, aside from a big splash like going after, say, Jonathan Kuminga, the Heat have other things to figure out on the roster if they want to build on that last-season momentum from 2024-25.
Potential targets: Chris Paul (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), D’Angelo Russell (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Tre Mann (RFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Tim Hardaway Jr. (UFA), Malik Beasley (UFA)
Milwaukee Bucks: lead guard/centre depth
If/when Giannis Antetokounmpo demands a trade, the conversation around the Bucks will shift drastically. But until that happens, they still have a top-three player in the world worth building around. And while the “Greek Freak” more than held up his end of the bargain in these past playoffs, the same couldn’t be said for those around him. Milwaukee looked downright old as the younger, faster Pacers ran them out of the post-season.
It won’t be easy to fix, however, as Damian Lillard’s Achilles injury and a possible departure of longtime starting centre Brook Lopez complicates things. But either way, GM Jon Horst has to figure out a way not to waste whatever amount of time he still has Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee for.
Potential targets: Myles Turner (UFA), Ty Jerome (UFA), Deandre Ayton (UFA), Nickeil Alexander-Walker (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (RFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Santi Aldama (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Tre Mann (RFA), Gary Trent Jr., Duncan Robinson (UFA), Malik Beasley (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA)
Minnesota Timberwolves: Guard depth, wing scoring
It’s already been a busy off-season for the T-Wolves after they figured out new deals for Julius Randle and Naz Reid.
But if Minnesota is going to make another deep playoff run, there’s still plenty to sort out. Especially a PG rotation that largely features a past-his-prime Mike Conley Jr. and a soon-to-be sophomore Rob Dillingham. That guard rotation gets even dicier should Nickeil Alexander-Walker depart in free agency.
Potential targets: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (UFA), Amir Coffey (UFA), Duncan Robinson (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Gary Trent Jr., Russell Westbrook (UFA), Tim Hardaway Jr., D’Angelo Russell (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA)
New Orleans Pelicans: An adult in the room, centre depth
It’s been a busy off-season in the Big Easy, but it’s not clear if that means it’s been a good one. While recently-hired GM Joe Dumars has injected the roster with an influx of young talent (Jordan Poole, Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen), how exactly they fit together and alongside Zion Williamson isn’t immediately clear.
And with their moves shipping off high-character vets like CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk, bringing in a mature voice could go a long way for the Pelicans.
Potential targets: Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Brook Lopez (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA)
New York Knicks: Reserves (and a coach)
Facetiously, I’d like to focus this bit on the Knicks’ biggest free agent decision being one that won’t even be playing for them next season — listing off coaches as potential targets instead.
But alas, let’s get back to on-court fits in the Big Apple. And if the now-over Tom Thibodeau tenure taught anything, it’s that not figuring out a way to involve your backups can come back to hurt. Adding any kind of minutes-eating relief will go a long way in boosting an already talented top-end of the roster.
Potential targets: Amir Coffey (UFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA)
Oklahoma City Thunder: Guard depth
It’s always a challenge to look at a roster that just won it all, and kept its core intact and find ways to improve it. Something especially difficult for this OKC team that’s young enough and armed with enough draft capital that its natural trajectory is upward, even without notable acquisitions.
Still, GM Sam Presti is never one to sit on his hands, trading for Alex Caruso and signing Isaiah Hartenstein last season, acting as proof.
Potential targets: Chris Paul (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA)
Orlando Magic: Playmaking and shooting
If there’s a team out East ready to threaten the top of the table, it’s the Magic. Fronted by a young ascending wing pairing in Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Orlando took a big step forward by adding Desmond Bane next to them.
Still, the Magic are in need of a true table-setter, and one knockdown shooter alone won’t make up for their woeful production from beyond the arc last season.
Potential targets: Ty Jerome (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Tre Mann (RFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Duncan Robinson (UFA), Tim Hardaway Jr. (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA), Cam Thomas (RFA)
Philadelphia 76ers: Wing/forward depth
If there’s a team that truly demonstrates how fickle the NBA can be, it’s the 76ers. After being declared winners last off-season following the addition of Paul George, a smattering of injuries derailed all the momentum that summer had built.
Now, it’s time for GM Daryl Morey and co. to regroup and find a way to make the most of a roster that’s half old, half young, and fully in need of a turnaround.
Potential targets: Amir Coffey (UFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Gary Payton II (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Luke Kennard (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA)
Phoenix Suns: Anything but shooting guards
Suns GM James Jones likely isn’t the envy of anyone, given the position he’s in right now. Granted, he’s also accountable for many of the decisions that led us here.
Phoenix is above the second-apron despite being a roster full of two-guards, a couple of centres after some draft-night dealings, and not a whole lot else. And for a team not in control of most of its future assets, tanking isn’t exactly an option either.
Potential targets: Chris Paul (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Cameron Payne (UFA), Delon Wright (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Al Horford (UFA)
Portland Trail Blazers: Reserve lead guard, shooting
For all the teams itching to move up the standings out East, the Blazers deserve credit for trying the same in a much more loaded Western Conference. Adding Jrue Holiday in exchange for an expiring Anfernee Simons was a good way to bolster an already stout perimeter defence. Meanwhile, time will tell if buying out Deandre Ayton’s contract to usher in the Donovan Clingan/Hansen Yang era at centre will pan out.
If Portland wants to continue getting better, finding a way to replace Simons’ production, leading the team in scoring and three-point makes last season, will go a long way.
Potential targets: Ty Jerome (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Duncan Robinson (UFA), Amir Coffey (UFA), Bruce Brown (UFA), Gary Trent Jr. (UFA), Malik Beasley (UFA)
Sacramento Kings: De’Aaron Fox replacement
In the months since moving their star guard to San Antonio, all Sacramento has done is recreate Chicago’s roster. And unfortunately for Kings fans, not the Michael Jordan-led Bulls, but the DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine fronted squad.
All while they’ve yet to find a serviceable PG to approximate the kind of production Fox provided.
Potential targets: Josh Giddey (RFA), Ty Jerome (UFA), Tyus Jones (UFA), Chris Paul (UFA), Dennis Schroeder (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), D’Angelo Russell (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA)
San Antonio Spurs: Frontcourt depth
The Spurs have done well to surround Victor Wembanyama with dynamic players up and down the roster ahead of his third season in the NBA. With the draft-night additions of Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, there’s plenty to work with from the guard and wing rotations.
What San Antonio could add is more bigs behind Wemby, so the youngster doesn’t get stretched even thinner than he already physically is.
Potential targets: Brook Lopez (UFA), Clint Capela (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Bismack Biyombo (UFA), Santi Aldama (RFA), Chris Boucher (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Guerschon Yabusele (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA)
Toronto Raptors: Frontcourt depth, floor spacing
As the Raptors navigate a new era, one no longer led by former president Masai Ujiri, they’ll have some clear areas of need to sort out. And while they left the draft with a pair of versatile defensive talents in Collin Murray-Boyles and Alijah Martin, clearly looking to develop an identity on that side of the ball, Toronto was left with plenty to work on offensively.
Without a true backup centre or an abundance of court-stretching shooters, it could cost the Raptors an opportunity to make their first playoff appearance since 2022.
Potential targets: Deandre Ayton (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Thomas Bryant (UFA), Amir Coffey (UFA), Trey Lyles (UFA), Jake LaRavia (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA)
Utah Jazz: Veteran presence
It’s clear the Jazz are going all-in on a youth movement after trading away Collin Sexton to open up room for guys like Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier. And with the addition of fifth-overall pick Ace Bailey, Utah has put together an intriguing pool of youngsters.
However, they’ve yet to establish any kind of culture or identity under head coach Will Hardy besides one predicated on securing lottery balls. Bringing in some vets to show the team how to win and what it takes to be a pro, would be a savvy move for a Jazz team filled with promise.
Potential targets: Chris Paul (UFA), Russell Westbrook (UFA), Malcolm Brogdon (UFA), Larry Nance Jr. (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Delon Wright (UFA)
Washington Wizards: Defensive-oriented frontcourt depth
The Wizards have already done what the Jazz ought to do, albeit to an extreme degree. Washington has added a plethora of veterans, largely by taking on their expiring deals, in hopes of freeing up cap space in the near future while also giving their youngsters a bunch of mentors.
If the Wizards tinker with the roster a bit more, however, the combo of young and old might just put together a fun season of basketball when it’s all said and done.
Potential targets: Clint Capela (UFA), Al Horford (UFA), Kevon Looney (UFA), Mason Plumlee (UFA), Luke Kornet (UFA), Ben Simmons (UFA), Day’Ron Sharpe (UFA)
