UNDER THE RADAR
TAJ GIBSON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
A bit of a throw-back power forward, he does not bring the range shooting in vogue but is a model professional with toughness and defense that does not go out of style.
NERLENS NOEL DALLAS MAVERICKS
Noel could fit with the players going nowhere. The Mavericks consider him an important part of the rebuilding and he is a restricted free agent.
RUDY GAY SACRAMENTO KINGS
Gay is coming off a bad seasonending injury, but is said to be progressing well. Sacramento’s draft-night haul and rebuilding process should have him moving on.
TONY SNELL MILWAUKEE BUCKS
The trade to the Bucks seemed to help Snell showcase his shooting touch headed into the summer as a restricted free agent.
PATTY MILLS SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Mills and the Spurs would seem an ideal fit, but with Dejounte Murray expected to eventually be Tony Parker’s successor, Mills might seek a greater role and the contract with it.
KYLE KORVER CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
Korver did not put the Cavaliers over the top as hoped when acquired from Atlanta and had an inconsistent postseason, but he is still an elite shooter.
JONATHON SIMMONS SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Free agency is the next part of Simmons’ remarkable journey from paying his own way to a DLeague tryout. His strong postseason play generated interest, but he’s a restricted free agent.
JEFF TEAGUE INDIANA PACERS
An All-Star in Atlanta, Teague had one season with the Pacers and he could look to move on, especially if Paul George is traded to start a rebuilding.
JAVALE MCGEE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
McGee’s success with the Warriors not only dramatically improved his reputation; it should help as a free agent, even if he will be best-served to remain with the Warriors.
JAYMICHAEL GREEN MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Green, a restricted free agent, would seem to be a priority in Memphis, but Zach Randolph, Vince Carter and Tony Allen are also free agents.
