One thing we’re seeing, again, is restricted free agent signings lagging the field in terms of timing. Of the seven best free agents still unsigned by BORD$, five are restricted. Of the unrestricted ones, one has legal issues (Montrezl Harrell) and one hasn’t played in nearly two years (T.J. Warren). Restricted free agent Miles Bridges, obviously, also has legal issues that make him radioactive at the moment.
Top free agents remaining, by BORD$:
DeAndre Ayton, Phoenix (restricted), $31,406,061
Miles Bridges, Charlotte (restricted), $30,940,550
Montrezl Harrell, Charlotte $14,730,416
Cody Martin, Charlotte (restricted), $12,366,850
Collin Sexton, Cavaliers (restricted), $10,816,788
T.J. Warren, Indiana $9,439,768
Caleb Martin, Martin (restricted) $8,867,433
Only a few other players valued above the minimum that remain at large, especially in the frontcourt:
P.J. Dozier, Orlando
Trent Forrest, Utah
Josh Jackson, Sacramento
Jeremey Lamb, Sacramento
Josh Okogie Minnesota
Dennis Schroder, Houston
Hassan Whiteside, Utah
