2013/14 NBA Free Agents

2013/14 NBA Team And Player Options

Our list of 2013/14 free agents includes players that have options or non-guaranteed contracts for next season. However, mixed in with all the rest of the free agents, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of which players may continue playing on their current contracts. So we'll use this space to round up all the players who have a player option, an early termination option, or a team option for 2013/14.

The decision to exercise a team option can only be made by the club, while a player option can only be exercised by the player. An early termination option is a type of player option that can only be included in contracts of five years or more. If an option is picked up, the player will remain under contract for at least the 2013/14 season, while turning down an option means the player is eligible to become a free agent next July.

Listed below are the player, early termination, and team options for the 2013/14 season, along with each player's team and the amount of the option.

2013/14 NBA Free Agent List Updated

The flurry of signings and roster moves in July left us scrambling to figure out exactly how many options years or non-guaranteed seasons were included on each new contract signed this summer. Now that the dust has settled and the terms of most contracts have been reported, we have a clearer idea of what the free agent picture will look like in future offseasons.

Our list of free agents for the summer of 2014 will be published later this week, but before we get to that, we've made sure we're up to date on next summer's free agents. Using our list of 2013/14 free agents, you can see not only which players are certainly headed for free agency a year from now, but also the players whose options or non-guaranteed contracts mean they could become free agents as well.

Many players with options years or non-guaranteed deals almost certainly won't hit the free agent market next summer. For instance, Kyle Lowry's contract for 2013/14 is mostly non-guaranteed, so you'll find his name on our list, but barring a catastrophic turn of events, the Raptors will certainly be guaranteeing his deal eventually. As those decisions are made official, we'll continue to update our list, which can be found anytime on the right sidebar under "Hoops Rumors Features."

Additionally, a handful of players with non-guaranteed deals for 2013/14 are also on non- or partially-guaranteed contracts for 2012/13. Those players won't find a spot on our '13/'14 list until their status for the coming season is officially determined, so they can be found on this list in the meantime.

Kennedy On Brown, Lakers, 2014 Free Agent Class

Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld has weighed in today on several relevant NBA topics, including the expectations placed on the Lakers and their options in free agency in coming years:

  • Kennedy tweets that Mike Brown will likely receive the majority of blame if the Lakers fall short of their championship aspirations following the additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard this offseason.
  • Kennedy also tweets that he would be surprised if Howard did not re-sign with the Lakers when he hits free agency in July 2013.
  • In a Sulia post, Kennedy takes a look at the 2014 free agent class, some of which could be options for the Lakers. Top players available include Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Danny Granger, and, should they choose to opt out of their contracts in Miami, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
  • In the same post, Kennedy quotes an anonymous NBA executive as believing the 2014 class has the potential to be more impressive than that of 2010.

2013/14 NBA Free Agents

Hoops Rumors’ up-to-date list of 2013/14 free agents is below. These are players who are eligible for restricted or unrestricted free agency after the 2012/13 season. The player’s 2013 age is in parentheses.

Players who appeared in an NBA regular season game in 2012/13 and aren’t currently on a roster are listed, along with a few other notable names. Players on a D-League roster are not listed here, though most D-League players are free to sign with any NBA team.
