Free agents have come off the board at a dizzying pace since the NBA’s 2019 free agent period officially got underway on Sunday night. In less than 48 hours, 39 of the 50 players on our list of 2019’s best free agents agreed to deals with NBA teams.

However, that doesn’t mean that there are no good options left on the open market. Even beyond the No. 1 free agent on our list (Kawhi Leonard), there are several players available who should be reliable contributors to NBA teams in 2019/20.

Please Pistons bring back Boban!!!!
Yesssssss!!!!!!!
Lakers need to pick off everything that’s left
I’d say they get a good chunk of it.. rondo, McGee hopefully locks.
Morris twins both possibilities..(they want to play together)
KCP really gonna take min? That’d be nice.
Korver once he gets bought out.
I think Green is waiting til Kawhi leaves, then Toronto gives him nice contract to return.
Cousins maybe Clippers once Kawhi goes big3.
Both Marcus and Markeiff will teamup on the Lakers bench with McGee and Rondo
SIXERS need a shooting guard!!!!
Delon Wright or Danny Green?
Danny Green would be a nice fit with the Sixers. I would like to see Kawhi stay in Toronto but I don’t think it is gonna happen. Once he leaves, Green will leave too.
I think it’s the opposite. Toronto can offer Green a nice contract if Kawhi leaves
Haha Jabari come back and play off the bench
Danny Green is only a lock to join KL if it’s back with the Raps. Lakers and Clips may want him, but with what? Room exception? That’s less than half of his worth – and he’s not a guy who’s made 100’s of millions in his career who’s likely to be indifferent. He has his rings, and one more contract to get paid eight figures per.
Please Bulls sign Joakim Noah
Where did Pat Bev go?
Clips, 3/40
Some EC team not Philly should nab Mcconnell so Philly doesn’t.
The best left are RFAs; teams don’t want to tie themselves up.
Cavs which are inactive anyway should offer to Delon Wright, Khem Birch, or Trey Lyles.
Have you got an issue with TJ rejoining the sixers? Of course you do realize Philly will be unstoppable in the EC next year, right?
