If the deadlines that are more or less handled in the NBA environment are met, At the end of November or beginning of December the transfer market 2020 could open, a free agency marked by the pandemic, uncertainty (there is still no exact data on salary cap) … and a list of names less lustrous than usual. And also, of course, by the long shadow of 2021, when a good part of the big stars can jump into the waters of the market and cause a maremágnum for which everyone wants to be prepared.
Teams on the rise like the Dallas Mavericks or Miami Heat, the finalist in the Florida bubble, already have suggested that they prefer to keep clean accounts and salary space under control in the face of that madness that is expected by 2021. But, and now? The list does not attract much attention, although there are good pieces and players that can be important in the title contenders. At the head is an Anthony Davis who, of course, is not going to exercise his player option for the 2020-21 season but for which it is assumed that he will sign a new contract with the Lakers. Remember that unrestricted free agents can sign with whatever team they want as they are free for all intents and purposes; Restricted may be subject to the right of first refusal if confirmed by their team (could match any offer and retain it) options of player and team allow one of the parties to extend the contract unilaterally for a previously fixed amount.
These are the best players who can be free agents at each position, with the situation of each one (totally free, restricted, with player option…):
