Best buy-out market players available
Killian Hayes
He was the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA draft and is still only 22 years old. Being a young player and not on an NBA roster is a little concerning, but I give him the benefit of the doubt. He had plenty of chances in Detroit but never capitalized. If he goes to a new environment, he will thrive.
Potential Destinations:
Chicago Bulls
New Orleans Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs
Joe Harris
At one point, he was considered one of the best shooters in the NBA. He has only played one full season since 2021 due to injuries. A team could definitely take a risk on him because of his shooting upside. Every team can use a reliable shooter. When healthy, Harris shot a career-high 47% from three.
Potential Destinations:
LA Lakers
Minnesota Timberwolves
Dallas Mavericks
Furkan Korkmaz
Korkmaz was once considered a reliable benchpiece for the 76ers. He still has high enough value to contribute to a championship contender. Korkmaz is the type of player who comes off the bench and gets crucial buckets.
Potential Destinations:
LA Clippers
Phoenix Suns
Memphis Grizzlies
Marcus Morris
Marcus Morris is that scrappy vet that everyone should look for to be on their team. He isn’t the same as his old Clippers days, but he’s still a reliable 3-point shooter. This season, he is shooting 40% from three and 86% from the free-throw line.
Potential Destinations:
Phoenix Suns
Denver Nuggets
Milwaukee Bucks
Davis Bertans (if released)
With a very high chance that Bertans gets released from Charlotte, a team could take a chance on him. He is known for being a 3pt specialist, but that is it. He can’t do anything, so if he can’t shoot, then he’s unplayable.
Potential Destinations:
Cleveland Cavaliers
LA Clippers
Houston Rockets
Evan Fournier (if released)
If Fournier is released by the Pistons, then he still has a lot in the tank to contribute to a team. He has been dealt with a bad hand in New York. He was just a starter two years ago and slowly fell out of the rotation. Fournier is still a great scorer and with a good defense around him, he can be useful to a team.
Potential Destinations:
Minnesota Timberwolves
Orlando Magic
Sacramento Kings
