crazy to think that had Gordon Hayward's career crashed right at it's peak. He reached a sort of pinnacle, and 30 seconds into his first game as a Celtic, it was over.
@@edwardfala7723 yeah, on reread i think i came off as harsh on him from a production standpoint, but i really just meant to say his time at the very top of his production was cut so short with that horrific injury
What people don't take into account is the NBA market in general. There were only 4 teams with a lot of cap space. Those teams ate up their space as soon as free agency began. Trent definitely has teams interested, but they're not going to be able to pay what he wants. Same with Kenard and Okoro. I would assume that Jones will probably get resigned with the Wizards since it looks like they're trying to get in the play-in (otherwise that Portland trade and signing Valanciunas makes no sense). But agents should be aware of the buying market the season before, instead of hoping they get lucky...
Yeah players should now that too like sometimes your going to have accept lower offers because of the market and the market determines your worth. Can work other way around too you can be worth more sometimes
In terms of Tyus, i think the lack of teams with space and those teams needs at PG really hurt Tyus. I know he was looking for somewhere to be a starter and starter money, but the only team with the space and need was prolly SAS. They ended up getting CP3 on a good deal, and drafted Castle as well. He was dead pretty early on. I could see him resigning with washington if they give him the long term contract he desires, not too sure about it. But my guess is he joins a contender for a year to be a backup PG and try again next season. Tyus is thought of very highly around the league tho, this is def not due to a lack of interest like the others on the list
I think they signed Valanciunas specifically to trade him next year, because his deal is so good at just 10m, I am sure someone will need an upgraded Center at a low costs in the next two years. The other guys on this list don't want 10m they want much more
The Wizards have Poole, Malcolm Brogdon, and a rookie they just picked in the Avdija trade. They will not sign Tyus unless it's a sign-and-trade. Valanciunas was signed for only 10 Mil to meet league min cap requirements, and will be traded for draft assets whenever possible.
@@israteeg752 they also just signed Saddiq Bey. I think they're going to try because there was no reason to trade Avdija if they were planning to rebuild. That's the type of player to rebuild with. When they first made the Portland trade I thought it was to route Brogdon somewhere else for a pick. But then they signed Valanciunas. Kuzma and Poole are still there, even though teams are interested in Kuzma. They just signed Saddiq Bey. That's a lot of players to offload for draft compensation and nearly impossible due to some of these teams being Apron restricted. It seems like they are trying to make a run for the play-in...
Hayward lost his heart somewhere in leg rehab… mind boggling Jordan gave him that last big contract and he disappeared on the HORNETS roster, can’t see him getting even a veteran’s minimum anywhere now, you forget he’s even on the court when he does play.
Players who are still FA and can contribute off the bench: Spencer Dinwiddie, Patty Mills, Talen Horton-Tucker, Evan Fournier, Doug McDermott, Robert Covington, Jae Crowder, Lonnie Walker IV, Marcus Morris.
Honestly Lonnie walker is one of the best perimeter defenders and high ball IQ, I’m surprised no one like Detroit the cavs or gsw went after him. He can facilitate and play off the ball well and is definitely a better investment than a lot of the younger guards. I’m a hornets fan and I’m very thrilled that we just got josh green, one of the better young guards who plays as a rotational piece, but I’d still be happy with Lonnie, even though we have a lot of depth at the guard spot. I’m just confused how Chicago bulls, OKC thunder, gsw, jazz, spurs, hell even the nets aren’t signing him.
Cannot help but feel that crowder is washed now man. Used to be a championship level piece in the right role. But now, he old and a streaky shooter. Better to give that roster spot to a younger guy with potential
The Nuggets are avoiding the 2nd Luxury Tax Apron next season so unless these Players accept the minimum it’s unlikely they will be signed by the Nuggets.
@@EricLNB Yes, The Nuggets can sign Players for more than the League Minimum but they don't have much cap space before reaching the 2nd Apron. They are currently at $179M in total Team Salary for the 2024-25 season and the 2nd Apron is at $190M.
Okaro in San Antonio I think is a great fit. Let him come off the bench and continue to develop for a year or two then eventually replace Barnes. The spurs love their 3 and D players. Might have their next Bruce Bowen in okaro
Money quickly dried up this offseason, especially of the winning teams, there are going to be a lot of players doing what Kelly Oubre had to do last season with the 76ers
Man, I am a Mavs fan and I cursed out loud when that news dropped. I've wanted Deni here for awhile and was hoping that when we traded for Gafford we'd go all in and get Deni, too. Great pickup for POR, especially at the price you paid.
not really = he's been a starter on a crappy-team, for a few years now = he plays a big part in TOR not being good, so he might not get any offers + might have to go back to TOR, for less
really??if dude asking 25 mills a season he outta his fucking mind he on crack...caleb martin singed for 9 millions a year with sixers...and they very similar level players..
@@dL-fy4fgTyus doesn’t really make sense on the Mavs compared to Kennard. Tyus actually has the worst defensive impact in the entire NBA, per DEPM. He’s an ultra efficient PG but Mavs don’t need another guy to run the offense. Kennard can be a secondary ball handler, is one of the best shooters in the league, and even though he’s not a good defender his size alone makes him better than Jones. All that being said, Mavs don’t have enough to get either of them.
Gary Trent made a mistake but it may be a blessing. He should take a huge pay cut on a one year deal and go sign with the Denver Nuggets. They have a hole after losing Bruce Brown last year & KCP this year. He would start on a contending team and could really skyrocket his value there. The Nuggets could use another 15ppg wing, and the Joker effect could def increase his production.
@@billycornish6646no he is not🤣 tyus is more than fine being a second option while providing assists. He would come off the bench and get atleast 6 assists a game while also competing for a chip. Westbricks time has passed
For most of these players the problem is the money is gone. No one has the cap space necessary to pay them what they want. If Trent/ Jones and maybe others are willing to sign for the minimum, then absolutely they'd have several contenders fighting to sign them
Hayward in Chicago. They are a team in need of role players of his position/caliber. When their back is against the wall, some players step up to the plate.
I think the cba doesn’t let those guys sign w the bucks if I’m not mistaken, I believe they’d both make way too much for Milwaukee to be able to afford since they’re a whole second apron team
Has a lot to do with new CBA. Most teams don't want that second apron. We'll start to see a lot of really good players drop into FA just because they're expensive.
Nobody has money to sign Tyus Jones and Gary Trent Jr. If I were the Bucks GM, I would call the Pistons and offer Middleton + 2nd round pick for them to sign and trade Tyus Jones, Gary Trent Jr. and Robert Covington.
The Wolves can only offer the vet minimum, but I would LOVE to get Lowry, Kennard or Jones. The former being the only somewhat realistic option for the minimum. Edit. I didn't realize Lowry went to the Sixers. Great pickup for them.
Gordon Hayward is Chandler Parsons 2.0 but with a "career ending injury". Although I Parsons wasn´t willing to commit 100% to training in Dallas but Hayward joining the Hornets for more money and a lesser role was pretty much the same
@brandonbeglin2379 He was averaging 14.5 in 32 mins for the Bulls before the trade. He was a terrible fit with a loaded OKC team. Put him as a plug and play on a good team with a shorter bench like the 76ers and 6 pts and a vet presence to their young backcourt is very valuable
@@edwardfala7723 I just don't think he wants to play anymore honestly. Even on a stacked bench he wouldn't shoot the ball. I'd get it more if he wasn't being played but he saw the court a fair amount and didn't play well enough to see it more. Regardless of fit if you don't capitalize on your opportunity you aren't going to play.
Probably coulda pointed out the reason why nobody wants these players, the days of “just a shooter” are over. This isn’t the 90’s, you gotta at least be 3 and d.
@@LetsTalkAbout1125 yes, but that’s irrelevant. He signed a 90 million dollar contract as a pure shooter, that proves that you don’t need to be 3 and d.
I've been asking for weeks why no one wants Hayward, Kennard, Trent Jr & Jones; all of them fit perfectly on most contenders. Hayward on the Suns would let him play the stretch-4 &he can run the offense late in games if KD &Booker don't get it together. Kennard on the T'Wolves gives Edwards the help they're looking for from rookies; I'll trust a proven veteran like Kennard. Trent Jr on OKC works as part of a trade-package or he can stay cuz age wise he lineup with the squad. Jones on the Nuggets would strengthen their 2nd-unit &allow for Murray to play off ball more which needs to happen more next year
Every time I hear about Gordon Hayward i laugh... The jazz wanted to make him the man and pay him - he left for less money, more taxes and role position... And then got hurt.... He messed up
Im not sure Gordon is seeking a minimum contract. Im amazed he got what he did from Charlotte post recovery in Boston but the problem with him is 1. Injuries 2. Playability. If he cant break the lineup at OKC when he has all those tangible benefits there are other issues. And those issues would probably be will he be healthy when we need him, will he take way less than his prior 30 million and will he pout if hes not playing? Low risk: depends on price. High reward: unlikely.
Tyus Jones will end up on Clippers, Gary Trent Jr on Lakers, Luke Kennard back to Memphis, Issac Okoro to Nets, Gordon Hayward to Kings off the bench with Monk
Hayward should go back to Boston on a minimum. They have 1 roster spot open and they are stacked so it won’t matter if he can stay healthy or not. Best chance to get a chip.
Maybe the Wolves are evaluating what they have with Dillingham before they ask a reunion with Tyus Jones? I'd assume that they'd rather have both, but maybe not if Dillingham plays well in Summer League.
@bryanfoster326 Definitely Nuggets need bench help besides Watson they have no one....Braun gonna start next year, Strawther, Tyson & Pickett need to step up
Bucks have interest in Gary Trent Jr but they can only offer him the vet minimum sadly, so it's highly unlikely unless the Bucks trade someone on the current roster
While I agree Hayward definitely has the talent and should get a contract somewhere, it seems a bit odd to not mention that he was constantly injured, which may be why teams are reluctant (or maybe he is still pushing for a large contract?). If he could stay healthy for one hot minute I believe he'd still be worth a 15-20m deal
Not many NBA teams have the cap space to pay 10 to 15 million a year for solid role players at this time. I can see the New York Knicks getting 1 or 2 of these guys.
I love when players gamble on thier selves and take a minimum to prove the world wrong. Todays underdog stories. I want to see Gary Trent & Precious or Gordon on the 76ers
Kennard will get like 8-10 from someone. But unless his defense improves the guy is not a starter for a team serious about winning a chip. And if he just a bench guy, a lot of different lanes teams can go down instead. Could be a defender or a rebounder or creator instead of a shooter.
The new CBA has put a stranglehold on every good teams ability to spend otherwise I can guarantee you that Tyus Jones and at least Gary Trent would not still be available right now. There's at least five or six teams that could use Tyus Jones and Gary Trent Jr and one of them is the suns, but they have no money at all.
This is a consequence of the 2nd apron. I have no idea why the players agreed to this. They’ve effectively turned the NBA into the NFL style of valuing players
Lot of people here downplaying the influence Rich Paul has, and all I've got to say is ever since he brought LeEGO to the Lakers, together, with Jeannie Buss, they have turned what was once a great and respected franchise into a soap opera.
Nuggets could use these guys and a lot of other teams, it's probably that they just can't get the $ amount they want and are waiting for better offers.
The Lakers should sign Gordon Hayward, he's an offensive threat and they could use another one of those. He would also give their rookies some time to ac-lament themselves in the league.
Trent just needs to find a team with minutes and sign a one year deal. The Raptors didn't have the minutes for him to demonstrate his value. But like Kennard he is a subpar defender and that will always limit his value. Hayward is perpetually injured and you cannot invest much into him. My guess is that he is looking for more than the minimum.
@Hoops Reference You don't have an NBA chempion on this list he is a free agent better than Hayward, Kennard & Okoro. Bigger with size than Jones & Trent Jr. That player Svi Myhailiuk a deadly 3 point shooter has play making ability & plays really good defense. How is he not on your list?
Other players you didn't even mention Ryan Arcidiacono a defensive pest at the guard position every team needs him can shoot 3's well. Another player Luka Samanic a big man who can defend, athletic, can shoot 3's is becoming a 2-way player. Finally Omer Yurtseven and Henri Drell big man that can provide bench help for a lot of teams looking for depth.

Gordon Hayward should sign with Denver...He will work on a veteran club
I agree
I like that fit.
He’d be terrific in Denver, so would kennard and okoro too
Agreed
@bryanfoster326 Definitely Nuggets need bench help besides Watson they have no one....Braun gonna start next year, Strawther, Tyson & Pickett need to step up
Bucks have interest in Gary Trent Jr but they can only offer him the vet minimum sadly, so it's highly unlikely unless the Bucks trade someone on the current roster
The fact bronny and giddy and such have guaranteed contracts just means I should have declared for any draft.
Tyus to the Nuggets Trent to the Nets Kennard to Miami Okoro to Wizards Gordan to Cavs
While I agree Hayward definitely has the talent and should get a contract somewhere, it seems a bit odd to not mention that he was constantly injured, which may be why teams are reluctant (or maybe he is still pushing for a large contract?). If he could stay healthy for one hot minute I believe he'd still be worth a 15-20m deal
All of the first 3 guys played for Duke. All around the same time too. Weird coincidence
Phoenix better find a way to get Tyus Jones!
Phoenix sucks and they will continue to suck as long as Durant and Beal are on that team.
@@danielboston8806I honestly feel bad for Devin Booker, he is wasting his prime on a play-in team, he deserves better
@@beef2503 They gutted out a contending, good chemistry team for Durant.
They did
They did.
Not many NBA teams have the cap space to pay 10 to 15 million a year for solid role players at this time.
I can see the New York Knicks getting 1 or 2 of these guys.
I think gary trent jr would fit on the warriors now that gp2 has windled down since his injuries and no klay. Cmon now. Someone pick this guy up.
I love when players gamble on thier selves and take a minimum to prove the world wrong. Todays underdog stories. I want to see Gary Trent & Precious or Gordon on the 76ers
I'd sign Hayward to the Cavs. Sign and trade Okoro along with a couple second round picks for Cam Johnson. With Jaylon Tyson as your third wing.
Kennard will get like 8-10 from someone. But unless his defense improves the guy is not a starter for a team serious about winning a chip. And if he just a bench guy, a lot of different lanes teams can go down instead. Could be a defender or a rebounder or creator instead of a shooter.
Tyus and trent jr wanted more money that's why there are still out there
The backing track is the worst 😂
Congrats GARY TRENT JR you're a BUCK and a starter on a contender team.Your dream is coming through👍🔥
The new CBA has put a stranglehold on every good teams ability to spend otherwise I can guarantee you that Tyus Jones and at least Gary Trent would not still be available right now. There's at least five or six teams that could use Tyus Jones and Gary Trent Jr and one of them is the suns, but they have no money at all.
This is a consequence of the 2nd apron. I have no idea why the players agreed to this. They’ve effectively turned the NBA into the NFL style of valuing players
I'd personally like to see Hayward in Dallas or the Heat... when he was younger xdd
But maybe the Knicks could put him to good use now.
The nuggets really need to sign one of these player to help out with the bench badly.
Sign Hayward, Trent and Jones.
Interesting that there are 3 former DUKE University Players on this List.
Well Gordon Hayward would be a good signing if you need someone to log some solid cardio off the bench.
Lot of people here downplaying the influence Rich Paul has, and all I've got to say is ever since he brought LeEGO to the Lakers, together, with Jeannie Buss, they have turned what was once a great and respected franchise into a soap opera.
That's 5 pretty serious players. Teams just don't want to pay the penalty taxes.
lakers gonna watch this video rubbing their hands after failing to acquire klay and demar
the thumbnail dudes have the same exact build lol
hayward can be useful on the grizzlies they have hole in sf
Hayward is bunz now dude
I don't really care about these players not getting a contract; the NBA is BROKEN why no one HIRED Jeremy Lin and let go Ernes Kanter?
Did you say, “ Hayward was Low Risk, High Rewards “? With his Injury History? Cmon
I think at the salary point he would get, the statement is true.
Nuggets could use these guys and a lot of other teams, it's probably that they just can't get the $ amount they want and are waiting for better offers.
The nuggets should sign any one of these guys minus Hayward but especially tyus with all the time Murray misses and reggie jackson being gone
These guys are good but victims of teams needing to develop younger players or needing to keep their cap space flexible.
Players need to stop trusting greedy as agents
W vid
The Lakers should sign Gordon Hayward, he's an offensive threat and they could use another one of those. He would also give their rookies some time to ac-lament themselves in the league.
The Pistons need to sign all of them, they need all the help they can get.
Teams want them but are smartly waiting to snag them up for vet minimums. Let the market develop
First 3 were all at Duke crazy
Gordon Hayward was a trash disappointment for the Hornets. Missed way too many games to justify his contract.
CBA. If your team ain't no play-in hopeful now, rename them 'The Tanks'.
Gordon Hayward is cheeks
Always has been in my opinion. He was average at best in Utah and then teams kept giving him the max even though he played worse and worse.
The new CBA rules are restricting teams to go big
That boy Hayward is sorry as fuck now😭
Tyus Jones - Bucks, Heat, Nets & Clippers
Gary Trent - Heat, Bucks, Nets, Wizards, Hornets & Warriors
Luke Kennard- Bulls, Nets, Wizards, Spurs, Pistons & Lakers
Isaac Okoro - Lakers, Bucks, Lakers & Bulls
Gordon Hayward - Pistons, Bulls, Warriors, Nets & Lakers
Gary Trent Jr.… Sir, you don’t turn down $15mil annually. Now you may never see this amount for the rest of your career.
Where is Dinwiddie
Trent just needs to find a team with minutes and sign a one year deal. The Raptors didn't have the minutes for him to demonstrate his value. But like Kennard he is a subpar defender and that will always limit his value. Hayward is perpetually injured and you cannot invest much into him. My guess is that he is looking for more than the minimum.
trent had 28 minutes per game and was a starter, how did he not get the minutes to demonstrate his value?
@Hoops Reference You don't have an NBA chempion on this list he is a free agent better than Hayward, Kennard & Okoro. Bigger with size than Jones & Trent Jr. That player Svi Myhailiuk a deadly 3 point shooter has play making ability & plays really good defense. How is he not on your list?
Other players you didn't even mention Ryan Arcidiacono a defensive pest at the guard position every team needs him can shoot 3's well. Another player Luka Samanic a big man who can defend, athletic, can shoot 3's is becoming a 2-way player. Finally Omer Yurtseven and Henri Drell big man that can provide bench help for a lot of teams looking for depth.
The Mavericks should be looking to sign one of these players ASAP: Omer Yurtseven, Henri Drell, Luka Samanic, Ryan Arcidiacono or Svi Myhailiuk.
Who
@@AMaidenlessRunt Just some guys fans don't know about unless you watch every single NBA game during the entire season.
Kyle Lowry as the first clips of the video is bold.
And he just got signed 😂
Admittedly I was working on this video yesterday before he got signed and he was going to be included in the video until the news broke
@@HoopsReferenceit’s all good, it happens
