The NBA has not signed a contract with the six free stars, Kumingga and the Warriors are still raising their heads, Westbrook is on the list

Although the NBA's free market has just opened for a while, so far, many players have either completed contract renewals or found a next home. And the most shocking thing now is undoubtedly that Turner signed a contract with the Bucks. You should know that he had just reached the finals for the first time in the Pacers, but he left directly in the offseason.

What's more exaggerated is that in order to sign Turner, the Bucks directly used extended clauses to cut off Lillard, who still has more than 120 million contracts in the future, which made it easier for the former. Next, we will take stock of the six free stars who have not yet signed. The transfers of these people may not be as shocked as Turner joining the Bucks, but if they can find a suitable next player, the team's immediate combat power will still be significantly improved.

6. Kumingga

Average 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season

The Warriors selected Kumingga at the 7th pick in the first round in 2021. His biggest feature is that his physical fitness is quite strong, and he has certain ball-holding skills, so the upper limit on paper is not low. However, Kumingga's shortcomings are low ball quotient and poor shooting, which has led to his inability to be fully reused by the team under the Warriors' system over the years. This year, he also publicly stated that he wanted to join a team that can prove himself, and he firmly believed that he had the opportunity to become an All-Star player in the future.

Cuminga's current situation is a restricted free agent, and the Warriors will have the right to match any contracts offered by other teams for him. In the free market, Kuminga has also received the attention of the Nets and the Heat. For Kumingga, if he can join the Nets, it may be the best choice. Here he only needs to compete with other young players. On the other hand, teams such as the Heat are all going to win. Maybe he should be DNP or DNP when he gets there.

5. Horford

Average 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists this season. As a veteran of the Celtics, they will be able to win the championship in 2023, and Horford plays a very critical role in it. And now two years have passed. Although Horford is 39 years old, he still has a good performance this year's playoffs. Horford averaged 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, and he still averaged 1.3 three-pointers with a 40% shooting percentage. When Porzingis was embarrassed to reuse, he became the fig leaf for the team's inside.

However, due to Tatum's injury, it will be difficult for the Celtics to compete for the championship next season. Therefore, if Horford wants to win another championship before retirement, staying in the team is obviously not the best choice. In addition, he can only get a larger contract by joining other teams. Currently, the Warriors are the team that has the most hope to sign Horford, but since they are still raising Kumingga, they can't guarantee how big the contract can be given to Horford. However, it has to be said that Horford is undoubtedly very suitable for the Warriors, and his shooting, defense and ball quotations are enough.

4.Grimes

Average 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal this season. After joining the Mavericks last year, Grimes performed very well in the contract year, and his performance on both offense and defense was remarkable. However, before the transaction deadline, the Mavericks still sent him away. According to media reports, the management may be worried that he will play better and better, and then it is very likely that he will not be able to keep him in the offseason. After joining the 76ers, Grimes' performance became even more eye-catching. During this period, he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and also had a highlight moment of scoring 44 points against the Warriors and 46 points and 13 rebounds against the Rockets.

Because of this, Grimes is naturally very confident about his next contract. Some media also predict that he will get at least a contract with a starting salary of more than $16 million in the offseason, but at the same time, some media revealed that Grimes' personal expected annual salary is about $25 million, which is the main reason why he has not signed a contract yet. After all, not many teams can have such abundant salary space this year.

3. Paul

Average 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals this season, after playing for the Warriors in 2024 and missing the playoffs, Paul seemed to have been indifferent to the honor of the championship. Last year, he chose to sign a one-year, $10.46 million contract with the Spurs despite being able to join the championship team. Paul played 82 games in the regular season this season. Although his decline in all aspects is quite obvious, overall he can still provide some influence in the game.

According to current reports, Paul basically chose one of the two teams, the Suns and the Clippers. Relatively speaking, the former lacks players of his type in the team, but the Clippers have greater hope of winning. Considering that Paul does not want to be separated from his family, the Clippers still have the advantage of being in Los Angeles, so it depends on how Paul makes a choice.

2. Westbrook

Average 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals this season. Joining the Nuggets last year can be said to be the most correct decision for Westbrook in recent years. Playing around Jokic has played as much as possible, while reducing his negative impact. For the Nuggets, the signing of Westbrook is at least a passing grade. After all, they have not made many adjustments in the offseason last year. If Westbrook was not willing to join the base salary, they would have to give Picket more playing time..

However, after being eliminated in the second round, the Nuggets chose to replace their blood during the offseason this year. When Westbrook jumped out of the contract, the outside world thought that the two sides would sign a contract with a larger total. As a result, this guess is wrong at present. The Nuggets have signed two substitute defenders, Brown and Hardaway Jr. However, according to reporters, Westbrook still attracts some other teams, such as the Kings and the Knicks, so it is still easy for him to find a new job, but unfortunately, these teams will no longer be as suitable for him as the Nuggets.

1.Gidy

Average 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals this season, in order to strengthen their defense, the Thunder sent Gidy away for role player Caruso, and the deal also helped them win this year's championship. After Gidedi joined the Bulls, his performance has also improved compared with the Thunder period, so it can be said that this transaction has achieved a win-win situation for all parties. In the second half of the regular season this season, Gidey performed very comprehensively after being reused by the team, and his value has soared.

Currently, the Bulls have provided Gidey with a qualification offer of $11 million per year. If a team offers a higher offer, they can choose to match and leave Gidey, and they can also choose to give up match and let go of the latter. Judging from the current situation, the annual salary of the contract signed by Gidi is likely to be far above 11 million. After all, he is only 22 years old, and both his combat power and potential are worth a greater contract.
