End-of-summer NBA free-agency signings typically aren't world-beating difference-makers. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few names left on the board capable of helping teams this season. More than a few unsigned free agents are at the very least worth a shot—particularly if they end up with the right squad.
And that's why we're here today: to identify those potential fits. Prospective destinations will be determined by looking almost exclusively at roster needs and how a player's skill set aligns with what's already in place. Spending potential is secondary.
With the exception of one name, everyone else should be gettable for the minimum. Available roster spots will not be a deal-breaker. Most squads already have at least 14 guaranteed contracts on the books.
Though teams can carry more players during the offseason, our goal is to find landing spots where these free agents can stick. So if a suggested destination must create room to make way for one of these players, we will note as much. Markelle Fultz saw his role with the Orlando Magic and overall efficiency dip last season following and amid left knee issues.
At just 26, though, it's fairly surprising to see him still floating around the open market. The concerns about his jump shot persist. He put together pockets of success from mid-range and at the foul line during his time with Orlando, but his clips from both areas fell by the wayside last year, and he remains a total non-threat from beyond the arc.
Still, Ful.
