We’re back with our pre-Trade Deadline edition of the Trade Value Rankings. Here, the HoopsHype staff gets together to rank players, weighing factors such as talent, performance, age, availability, positional scarcity, current salary, and what their next contract could look like.
MVP frontrunner Luka Doncic remains at the top of the rankings.
Guaranteed money left: $215,159,700 till 2026-27
Agent: Bill Duffy
Doncic continues his dominant scoring season averaging 33 points per game. He’s at times looked like a one-man show for Dallas’ offense and could be a threat to end Nikola Jokic’s MVP reign.
Guaranteed money left: $188,855,520 till 2025-26
Agent: Alex Saratsis
Antetokounmpo remains a close second in our trade value rankings. He may not be at the top of the MVP conversation this year but he might be the best player in the league come playoff time. His value for the franchise extends beyond the court.
Guaranteed money left: $303,037,803 till 2027-28
Agent: Mike Lindeman and Jeff Schwartz
Jokic remains firmly in the mix for a third straight MVP award. He is at the top of many all-in-one advanced metrics and is the engine of what is essentially the league’s number-one offense. With him arguably having his best season, not winning the award could be the product of voter fatigue.
Guaranteed money left: $134,896,800 till 2025-26
Agent: Jeff Wechsler
Tatum is having a career season averaging highs all across the board. The Celtics continue to have the league’s best record thanks to his play on the court and his leadership through an unexpected coaching change over the offseason.
Guaranteed money left: $206,419,440 till 2027-28
Agent: Jim Tanner
Despite their recent skid, the Grizzlies remain separated from the rest of the bunched-up West. They are well-equipped for a deep playoff run should they stand pat ahead of this year’s trade deadline. But if they want, they could make a splashy trade involving some of their future draft picks.
Guaranteed money left: $243,728,770 till 2026-27
The Sixers had a rough start to the season but Embiid has since regained his dominant form on both ends. He leads the league in scoring and has slowly put his name at the front of the MVP debate again after leading the Sixers to 20 wins in their last 25 games. This could be the year he not only finally wins the award but also gets the Sixers back to the Conference Finals.
Guaranteed money left: $294,073,600 till 2027-28
Agent: Jessica Holtz and Melvin Booker
Booker’s value has been accentuated by his absence with the Suns falling nearly out of the play-in mix since he got injured. Phoenix could be primed to make a run upon his return and potential trades to improve the roster.
Guaranteed money left: $197,656,908 till 2025-26
Agent: Rich Kleiman
Like with Booker and the Suns, Durant’s value to the Nets is priceless after seeing them struggle a bit now that they’re missing him from the lineup. Brooklyn could be aggressive buyers ahead of the trade deadline in an attempt to give Durant a stronger rotation to return to.
Guaranteed money left: $215,353,662 till 2025-26
Agent: Jeff Austin
The Warriors continue to have a weird season despite Curry’s return to the lineup. They still have a chance to make a deep playoff run thanks to his elite shooting season.
Guaranteed money left: $179,220,000 till 2026-27
Agent: Thaddeus Foucher and Joe Smith
Gilgeous-Alexander is set to earn his first All-Star appearance with an impressive statistical season and very strong efficiency. His impact on winning basketball is becoming apparent after leading the Thunder to a run that has put them in the mix for the play-in tournament.
Guaranteed money left: $207,834,817 till 2027-28
Agent: Austin Brown
Many were right to remain high on Williamson while he was out last year. He is having the best season of his career and could even earn All-NBA honors this year, which would increase his upcoming maximum contract to 30 percent of the cap. The Pelicans have lost 11 of their last 14 games since he’s been gone.
Guaranteed money left: $215,159,700 till 2026-27
Agent: Omar Wilkes
Young is one of the league’s most impactful offensive players despite a down-shooting season and an uninspiring Hawks season. His trade value remains extremely high and could return a haul of draft picks and prospects should Atlanta decide to go in another direction in the future.
Guaranteed money left: $136,582,710 till 2025-26
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown
Mitchell is having his best scoring season and by far his most efficient shooting the ball. He is buying into Cleveland’s defensive philosophy and is trying harder on that end of the court. The early returns for the Cavaliers giving up so much to acquire Mitchell are looking good.
Guaranteed money left: $22,663,200 till 2023-24
Agent: Mike Miller
Banchero is looking like the runaway Rookie of the Year with his high-scoring rate and ability to generate offense on the ball. The Magic still have a chance to get into the play-in mix with a late-season surge now that the roster is mostly healthy.
Guaranteed money left: $24,268,217 till 2023-24
Agent: Omar Wilkes
Edwards is making a late push for serious All-Star consideration. Most of Minnesota’s season has been a mess but his recent play has helped stabilize the ship for the team. They are now within the Top 10 of the West standings and still have a chance at meeting their expectations for this season.
Guaranteed money left: $10,023,555 till 2023-24
Agent: Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn
Haliburton led the Pacers to a surprising start to the season and they have tumbled down the standings since he went down with a knee injury. He’s their cornerstone and his trajectory should raise his trade value much higher than the price they gave up for him.
Guaranteed money left: $121,800,240 till 2024-25
Agent: Rich Paul
Davis has embraced being a center and is having one of the best seasons of his career. The Lakers could be primed to make a big run now that he’s back from his foot injury. A trade for additional reinforcements could get the Lakers ready for a playoff run with the way Davis and LeBron James are playing.
Guaranteed money left: $258,694,291 till 2026-27
Agent: Aaron Goodwin
Lillard still holds immense trade value despite a good case for the Blazers to have traded him years ago. Should the team continue to struggle and both sides decide to part ways, Portland should still receive a massive haul for him.
Guaranteed money left: $59,464,285 till 2023-24
Agent: Jason Glushon
Brown is one of the best secondary stars in the league and still has room to potentially become a great No. 1 option. He’s on track not only to command maximum contract offers league-wide but could also qualify for a supermax extension should he earn All-NBA honors this season.
Guaranteed money left: $17,361,360 till 2023-24
Agent: Thaddeus Foucher and Joe Smith
The nearly co-Rookie of the Year is already one of the most impactful defenders in the NBA, and he could be near the top of this list in the future. Cleveland’s future is looking extremely bright with him, Donovan Mitchell, and Darius Garland as their franchise players.
Guaranteed money left: $101,500,200 till 2024-25
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Jordan Gertler
The Pelicans are set to reclimb the standings with Ingram back and Zion Williamson up next to return. Ingram won’t make the All-Star this season after missing so much time with a toe injury but he plays at the level of one.
Guaranteed money left: $73,342,080 till 2023-24
Agent: Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani
Siakam is having another strong season where he could become supermax eligible if he earns All-NBA honors again. The Raptors could look to avoid that scenario if they decide to trade him ahead of this year’s trade deadline. While he seems unlikely to be moved, the Raptors could consider it if another team offers a haul for him.
Guaranteed money left: $19,524,555 till 2023-24
Agent: Raymond Brothers
Ball could be surrounded by many new teammates after the trade deadline. With the Hornets seemingly out of the playoff mix, they could look to mve many of their veterans and young players with new contracts coming up.
Guaranteed money left: $15,653,280 till 2023-24
Agent: Bill Duffy
The reigning Rookie of the Year hasn’t built off the success of last season but should rise in these rankings eventually based on his trajectory. If the Raptors become sellers, the reduced pressure to win could allow Barnes to focus on his progress and make the leap many expect from him.
Guaranteed money left: $294,073,600 till 2027-28
Agent: Jessica Holtz
Injury concerns impacted Towns’ trade value as he continues to miss significant time with a calf injury. Had he not signed the supermax extension, the Wolves might have been looking to trade him this past offseason without a long-term commitment.
Guaranteed money left: $134,896,800 till 2025-26
Agent: Alex Saratsis
Adebayo is having an All-Star-worthy season as the driving force keeping the Heat above play-in territory. He’s also making strides offensively in a way this roster desperately needs. His evolution as a two-way and versatile defensive center makes him one of the best big men in the league.
Guaranteed money left: $203,220,795 till 2027-28
Agent: Rich Paul and Lucas Newton
Garland’s ascent from a good starting point guard to an All-Star has already made him invaluable. He should slowly rise up these rankings over the next several seasons after receiving a maximum contract extension this past summer.
Guaranteed money left: $21,608,160 till 2023-24
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and James Dunleavy
The NBA world will have to wait until next season for the return of Cunningham now that he is out for the season with a shin fracture. His trade value and overall outlook remain high this early on in his career.
Guaranteed money left: $134,896,800 till 2025-26
Agent: Chris Gaston
Fox is starting to look like the maximum-salaried player the Kings made him. He’s averaging career highs in scoring and three-pointers and is having by far his most efficient shooting season. The Kings could finally be back in the playoffs thanks to him and Domantas Sabonis.
Guaranteed money left: $184,049,331 till 2025-26
Agent: Bernie Lee
Butler continues to impact winning at a high level well into his age-33 season. His work ethic and continual durability could make him a good bet to meet the value of his recently signed three-year, $146.4 million extension.
Guaranteed money left: $7,070,800 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Maxey is back from his foot injury and hasn’t lost a step. He remains a major contributor to the Sixers’ success and has sacrificed his starting spot for the team’s benefit. That won’t reduce his trade value or his place as Philadelphia’s future cornerstone.
Guaranteed money left: $13,502,880 till 2023-24
Agent: Nima Namakian
Mathurin came into the season making every shot before cooling off. His trade value remains strong thanks to his potential and his recent scoring tear.
Guaranteed money left: $136,920,252 till 2024-25
Agent: Aaron Mintz
George might be having his best season in a Clippers uniform. The Clippers could be set to finally make a run and separate themselves in the West if they make a big trade. If they ever decide to become sellers, they could probably extract several draft picks for George.
Guaranteed money left: $5,975,323 till 2023-24
Agent: Jim Tanner
Bane has already made a significant leap off his previous season where he established himself as one of the better secondary scorers in the league. He is one of the biggest draft steals in recent memory and his small salary makes him virtually untradeable.
Guaranteed money left: $141,608,361 till 2024-25
Agent: Rich Paul
James is having a strong season in year 20 that’s maintaining his strong trade value. The pressure will be on the Lakers to make a significant deal that increases their title odds with James playing at an All-NBA level.
Guaranteed money left: $68,640,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Lorenzo McCloud
Harden should be an All-Star this season despite the number of games he missed that could hamper his case. He’s been everything the Sixers needed when they acquired him and more.
Guaranteed money left: $37,900,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Jason Ranne and Greg Lawrence
Sabonis had a strong case for being an All-Star starter but is on track to be named a reserve this week. He is statistically one of the best regular season players this season and his play has led the Kings to third in the West.
Guaranteed money left: $104,720,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Austin Brown
Even if the Grizzlies statisticians are pumping Jackson Jr.’s blocks at home, he is still having the best defensive season in the league. His block rate is still astonishing and opponent field goal percentage plummets when shots are taken in his vicinity.
Guaranteed money left: $136,920,252 till 2024-25
Agent: Mitch Frankel
Leonard may have finally regained the form the Clippers need if they are going to make a deep playoff run. As long as he and Paul George remain healthy the Clippers have just as good a shot as any other team to make it out of the West.
Guaranteed money left: $55,900,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Aaron Goodwin
DeRozan continues to hold up what was thought to be unsustainable shooting from last season. The Bulls have managed to climb their way back into the play-in mix but they remain far from a legitimate playoff threat. The case for trading DeRozan now would be to capitalize on his high level of play and get more back than what they initially gave up for him.
Guaranteed money left: $215,159,700 till 2026-27
Agent: Rich Paul
LaVine is starting to look like his old self after shaking off the post-knee surgery rust. His trade value should remain high and could be tested if the Bulls can’t reach last year’s highs and decide to become sellers.
Guaranteed money left: $108,476,241 till 2024-25
Agent: Jason Glushon
Holiday might be higher on this list if not for the recent extension he signed that will have him earning close to $40 million at age 35. In the meantime, he remains an All-Star caliber player with a strong impact on winning playoff games.
Guaranteed money left: $34,285,120 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Murray’s ascent into being an All-Star and one of the best defensive guards in the league has completely changed his trade value over the last few seasons.
Guaranteed money left: $55,928,571 till 2024-25
Agent: Omar Wilkes
Anunoby is looking like a candidate to earn All-Defense honors this season. With the Raptors potentially looking to become sellers, he would easily become one of the best players to hit the trade market. His elite defense and team-friendly deal would make him appealing to any team.
Guaranteed money left: $104,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Aaron Mintz and Sam Rose
Brunson brings some much-needed stability to the Knicks’ point guard rotation. He has kept them solid on both ends and is one of their best scorers, often buying them buckets when they need them the most. His All-Star caliber season and leadership have helped the Knicks remain in the playoff mix.
Guaranteed money left: $10,767,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Jason Glushon
Wagner and Paolo Banchero have developed nice chemistry together so far. The two Magic cornerstones could help the team make a strong second-half season run toward the play-in Tournament.
Guaranteed money left: $142,616,772 till 2026-27
Agent: Andrew Morrison and Steve Heumann
Wiggins went from one of the league’s worst contracts to arguably one of the better-value wing players. The Warriors rewarded him with a new four-year, $109 million extension after his contributions towards winning the 2022 championship.
Guaranteed money left: $44,074,074 till 2023-24
VanVleet is due for a raise, likely starting next season after he hits free agency this summer. He has become one of the bigger trade candidates ahead of the deadline and could find himself on a new team within the next week.
Guaranteed money left: $90,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Sam Goldfeder, Jordan Gertler, Jeff Schwartz
Bridges’ $90 million extension has kicked in and he’s already looking like a good value on it. He could probably command multiple good future first-round picks, but the Suns are likely to hold onto him even if they’re blown away by offers since defensive wings like him are extremely hard to come by.
Guaranteed money left: $14,866,680 till 2023-24
Agent: Austin Brown and Maxwell Saidman
The Pistons lucked out into getting exactly the type of player they needed in Ivey. He’s already one of the better rookies in his class with his aggressiveness in getting to the rim and making the Pistons run on offense. It will be fascinating to see where he ranks over the next few seasons.
Guaranteed money left: $19,333,320 till 2023-24
Agent: Aaron Mintz and Andrew Morrison
Green may not have had quite the rookie season some in his class had, but he’s had one of the bigger sophomore rises. His explosiveness, ability to get to the rim, and scoring off the dribble make him one of the league’s most tantalizing offensive prospects.
Guaranteed money left: $39,735,453 till 2024-25
Agent: Michael Lelchitski
Markkanen is having a career season averaging statistical highs across the board. He’s become more physical on offense taking advantage of mismatches leading to a strong two-point rate. He’s been Utah’s best player in their impressive start and is on track to being named an All-Star reserve.
Guaranteed money left: $169,655,173 till 2025-26
Agent: Bouna Ndiaye
Gobert is one of our biggest fallers with the team still struggling to fit around him. Hyperbolic claims of the Wolves’ trade for him being the worst in NBA history will continue to get louder if they can’t make it work.
Guaranteed money left: $251,019,650 till 2025-26
Agent: Reggie Brown and Mark Bartelstein
Beal’s name has been in trade rumors for over a year now, and the Wizards probably could’ve gotten a massive haul for him last season. Instead, they kept him and re-signed him to a maximum contract. His annual salary, trade bonus, player option, and no-trade clause could complicate a future deal.
Guaranteed money left: $80,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Derrick Powell and Jim Tanner
Allen is now worth much more than the late first-round pick Cleveland gave up to acquire him. The one-time All-Star and Evan Mobley are the foundation for the league’s No. 1 defense despite going smaller after acquiring Donovan Mitchell.
Guaranteed money left: $20,955,000 till 2022-23
Agent: Mike Kneisley
Grant’s three-year $60 million contract raised eyebrows when he signed it, but it turned out to be a great value seeing the Pistons were able to extract a first-round pick for him. Portland reportedly has a three-year, $112.7 million maximum extension on the table for him but he could look to earn more in free agency.
Guaranteed money left: $78,344,828 till 2023-24
Agent: Mike Lindeman and Jeff Schwartz
Middleton had tremendous trade value when he was earning $13-15 million annually, and it’s held up while making north of $30 million. If the Bucks wanted to capitalize and sell high on him now, they could probably get enough draft picks and prospects to set them up for the future.
Guaranteed money left: $132,929,128 till 2024-25
Agent: Bill Duffy and Nima Namakian
Ayton’s trade value should remain high going forward, even after getting the maximum contract he was seeking since the last offseason. He has proven to be one of the most viable centers for the playoffs.
Guaranteed money left: $69,849,600 till 2023-24
Agent: Janis Porzingis
Porzingis is having a strong season despite his numbers looking more or less the same as in previous years. He’s been arguably Washington’s most impactful player since he opens up their spacing and defensively is disruptive in the paint.
Guaranteed money left: $77,087,996 till 2025-26
Agent: Jason Glushon
Smart is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year who helped lead a historically great defense to the Finals. The Celtics could be poised to make one more trade to fortify their already dominant roster, even if it’s overkill.
Guaranteed money left: $125,722,116 till 2026-27
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Mike Lindeman
Miami committed to Herro with a four-year, $120 million deal, ending trade speculation for the time being. The Heat finally elevated him to the starting lineup and his performance has been on par with last season.
Guaranteed money left: $12,874,440 till 2023-24
Agent: Alex Saratsis
Giddey seems to be part of the next great Thunder team alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and whoever they select in this year’s draft. He should rise through these rankings over the next few seasons.
Guaranteed money left: $12,326,760 till 2023-24
Agent: Mike George
Sharpe has already shown flashes of his athleticism and scoring potential. He is Portland’s biggest trade chip if they decide they need to make a drastic move to improve their struggling roster.
Guaranteed money left: $53,392,692 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Green maintains strong trade value after helping the Warriors stay afloat while Stephen Curry was out with a shoulder injury. A decision on his future could be made as soon as this offseason with the team facing a $500-plus million luxury tax bill for next season.
Guaranteed money left: $20,277,240 till 2023-24
Agent: Bill Duffy
Holmgren is out for the season with a foot injury but his value should remain high over the next few seasons despite any skepticism about his durability.
Guaranteed money left: $131,901,399 till 2025-26
Agent: Andrew Morrison and Austin Brown
Poole proved his value while Stephen Curry was out with a shoulder injury with several high-scoring games. The Warriors are in good hands with Poole at the guard once the mantle gets handed to him.
Guaranteed money left: $101,500,200 till 2024-25
Agent: Mike George and Jeff Schwartz
Murray is starting to look like his old self after coming back from an entire missed season. He’s been a huge factor in Denver’s top offense and top seeding in the West.
Guaranteed money left: $16,417,440 till 2023-24
Agent: Mark Bartelstein and Kyle McAlarney
The Kings made a lot of heads turn when they selected Murray but he has been a great player for them so far. If the Kings decide to make another aggressive trade to improve the team, Murray could be the chip that gets a deal done.
Guaranteed money left: $18,209,160 till 2023-24
Agent: Wallace Prather
Smith Jr. surprisingly fell to the third overall selection despite being the consensus No. 1 pick after the draft lottery. He has struggled to get his shot going early on but has shown flashes defensively at times. He should still have immense trade value going forward.
Guaranteed money left: $48,892,860 till 2025-26
Agent: Kevin Bradbury
Williams’ value is intriguing to gauge. On one hand, he’s been invaluable for the Celtics in their Finals run and will earn just over the mid-level exception. At the same time, his availability has been poor, and he’s missed time at the worst possible stretches.
Guaranteed money left: $13,906,976 till 2022-23
Agent: Darren Matsubara
Lopez being a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year in his 15th season is certainly one of the bigger surprises of the year. He and Giannis Antentokounmpo are anchoring the No. 3 ranked defense in the league.
Guaranteed money left: $9,398,148 till 2022-23
Agent: Michael Tellem and James Dunleavy
Poeltl garnered a lot of trade interest at last year’s trade deadline after elevating himself to being one of the league’s better rim protectors. He is due for a raise soon with his contract running out, and it will be interesting to see if the Spurs want to pay him or potentially trade him with a year left on his deal.
Agent: Bill Duffy
Turner remains trade-eligible despite renegotiating and extending his contract this past week. His fixed salary over the next two years could raise his trade value and attract more suitors.
Guaranteed money left: $17,250,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Beda
Claxton leads the league in field goal percentage and has blocked the second-most amount of shots this season. He is a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year and is a big reason the Nets managed to turn their season around.
Guaranteed money left: $86,640,001 till 2025-26
Agent: Calvin Andrews
Gordon has been an excellent fit next to Jokic with his versatility on both ends of the ball and athleticism. He’s increased his trade value significantly since getting traded to Denver and has been one of their most consistent and available starters recently.
Guaranteed money left: $6,911,640 till 2023-24
Agent: Sean Kennedy
Sengun is a jack-of-all-trades big man on offense with his ability to pass and score efficiently in the paint. He has a lot of work to improve defensively but he’s already a great rebounder and one of the best offensive rebounders in the league.
Guaranteed money left: $100,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Bill Duffy
Simons may have already proved he’s worth the $100 million contract he recently signed with his strong shooting season. He could either be a worthy successor to Damian Lillard or the centerpiece of a trade that brings in a new co-star.
Guaranteed money left: $44,200,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Steve Heumann and Ty Sullivan
Paul has been less aggressive with his shot, which has resulted in inconsistent shooting nights and a significant drop in efficiency and usage. Despite this, there still could be teams out there willing to give up positive assets for the 37-year-old veteran.
Guaranteed money left: $133,135,801 till 2025-26
Agent: Sam Goldfeder and Jeff Schwartz
McCollum brings an element of three-point shooting off the dribble that New Orleans lacks on the roster. His play so far for the Pelicans may have already raised his trade value above the one first-round pick they gave up for him.
Guaranteed money left: $26,000,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Austin Brown
Kuzma is seemingly off the trade market (not that he was ever in it) after the Wizards traded Rui Hachimura to the Lakers. They now have more flexibility to re-sign Kuzma to a lucrative deal this offseason.
Guaranteed money left: $102,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Sean Kennedy and Jeff Schwartz.
Collins has seen his usage go down this season with the arrival of Dejounte Murray and the elevation of DeAndre Hunter, but he remains the same player impact-wise.
Guaranteed money left: $3,621,096 till 2023-24
Agent: Kieran Piller and Mark Bartelstein
Jones is locked into a minimum salary over the next two seasons and could make an All-Defense team during that stretch. He’s arguably one of the biggest bargains in the league, and his salary will help the Pelicans navigate roster-building challenges as they near the luxury tax.
Guaranteed money left: $106,444,800 till 2025-26
Agent: Steve Heumann and Aaron Mintz
Randle’s value cratered after signing his four-year, $106.4 million extension and having a down season last year. He’s already made up a lot of ground with the strong season he’s currently having worthy of All-Star consideration.
Guaranteed money left: $64,777,778 till 2025-26
Agent: Thaddeus Foucher and Joe Smith
Dort should still maintain strong trade value with his $16.5 million annual salary thanks to his elite perimeter defense. He’s a major contributor toward the Thunder being in the mix for a play-in spot.
Guaranteed money left: $36,503,300 till 2022-23
Agent: Shetellia Riley Irving
Irving has managed to rebuild some trade value after multiple seasons filled with unavailability and controversy. He reportedly wants an extension but the Nets may be better off testing the market on him in the offseason.
Guaranteed money left: $30,135,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Mitch Nathan, Andrew Morrison, Aaron Mintz
Valanciunas is one of the league’s best rebounders and scorers at the rim, but he could also be the centerpiece of a consolidation trade along with their surplus of draft picks.
Guaranteed money left: $80,373,025 till 2026-27
Agent: Lucas Newton and Rich Paul
Johnson is one of the bigger draft steals in recent memory and was just rewarded with a four-year, $74 million contract. He’s showing the potential to be a primary scorer.
Guaranteed money left: $27,600,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Clarkson is having a career year that includes a larger distributing role as he’s nearly doubled his assists per game from last season. His leadership and role in helping the Jazz get off to a great start should make plenty of teams interested in acquiring him.
Guaranteed money left: $22,000,000 till 2022-23
Agent: Rade Filipovich and Bill Duffy
His value might not ever get to the level of return Chicago originally gave up to get him, but a bounce-back season could get him closer to it.
Guaranteed money left: $11,725,655 till 2024-25
Agent: Sean Kennedy
Murphy III is already looking like one of the best overall shooters in the league. For a team that attempts so few three-pointers per game, it goes without saying he is very important to the Pelicans’ success.
Guaranteed money left: $96,258,694 till 2025-26
Agent: Aaron Turner
Rozier remains a great scoring guard who could provide a boost to many contending teams. He could find himself a new home by next week if the Hornets become aggressive sellers ahead of the trade deadline.
Guaranteed money left: $31,377,750 till 2022-23
Agent: Aaron Mintz and Austin Brown
Russell is having one of the more efficient stretches of his career after getting off to a bad shooting start to the season. He has seen his name in trade rumors recently with the Wolves looking for a new answer at point guard. He will need to keep this up if he’s going to secure a lucrative contract in free agency this summer.
