All NBA free agents still available by position after Klay Thompson & Paul George's blockbuster deals, July 1, 2024
The 2024 NBA free agency has delivered some of the biggest moves so far. From Klay Thompson going to the Dallas Mavericks to Paul George reportedly turning to the Philadelphia 76ers, free agency has been on a blazing start.
However, there are still a lot more free agents left for teams to snag. Some names may not be as big as others, but most of them can certainly impact a team’s future.
Let us take a look at all the NBA free agents still available by position after the offseason blockbuster deals.
2024 NBA free agency watch
Players available at the point guard
All these free agents could provide stability for a team in the point guard slot. For most of them, it is just a matter of where they could be fully maximized and where they can be paid the most.
Kyle Lowry is the biggest name left for the point guards. Lowry could sign a veteran minimum to return to the Philadelphia 76ers who recently added Paul George to form a big three alongside Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. With an already established core in Philly, Lowry could help add depth and leadership as it navigate through their new players.
Players available at the shooting guard
These free agents are lethal scorers and shooters who can fill roles that require them to space the floor and provide substantial defense on the wings. These players may not be free agents for long as their archetypes are coveted by teams looking to improve their rosters.
Players available at the small forward
DeMar DeRozan headlines the free agents available among the small forwards. With numerous teams expressing their desire to get the former All-Star, including the LA Lakers, DeRozan could be seeing offers as of the moment and decide his future as soon as possible.
Players available at the power forward
LeBron James, the NBA's all-time top scorer, is on top of any free agent list. After declining his player option, James enters unrestricted free agency to re-negotiate his contract with the team for roster flexibility. With the Lakers raring to find the right pieces to improve their roster, James' free agency decision and possible salary cut could be vital in the team's future.
Players available at the center
The pool of free agents at center is not as deep as other positions. However, interest remains for the likes of Moritz Wagner, Goga Bitadze and Xavier Tillman Sr., who won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics. These bigs can play as relievers for teams looking to boost their frontcourt depth.
Overall, teams are not done yet dealing with players as a lot of impactful ones remain available even after 24 hours of free agency.
