Ready to start grabbing! US media commented on the top 10 remaining basic players: Ben Simmons ranked fourth and Westbrook ranked second

Prepare to grab it! After the first wave of major adjustments in the offseason, the US media "bleacherreport" selected the top 10 remaining basic players in the free market, with Ben Simmons ranking fourth and Westbrook ranked second.

10th place: Joseph

Joseph is a typical blue-collar point guard. He is not outstanding in organization or projection, but has strong stability. He has also been working in the NBA for more than ten years.

For teams that need a substitute point guard or are troubled by injuries, Joseph will be a good choice for basic salary strengthening.

Ninth place: Shamet

Before being injured, Shamet played a stable shooting role in the Knicks and also shot an exaggerated three-point shooting percentage of 46.7%.

Considering that the Knicks currently have only 12 formal contracts on the roster, Shamet is very likely to return to New York with a basic salary.

8th place: Matthews

Matthews is another wing player who relies on shooting ability. He shot 39% of the three-point shooting percentage with the Hawks last season, and it was as high as 44% in the 23-24 season.

As the Hawks brought in players of Walker, Kennard and Houston, Matthews patiently searched for a new next home.

7th place: Brogdon

Compared with the first three players on the list, Brogdon is a higher-level star, and last season he held a fat contract of more than 20 million.

However, as he grows older, Brogdon's injury risks are too great, which has led to him never finding a new owner.

The Clippers and Mavericks, who were interested in him, have signed Paul and Russell one after another. It is expected that only the Warriors may sign him in the offseason, otherwise they can only wait for the vacancy period after the mid-season injury surge.

6th place: Melton

Melton once played a solid starting role with the Warriors before being injured last season, forming a good complementary chemistry with Curry, but the injury disrupted everything.

Fortunately, after resting, Melton has recovered and has reached an oral franchise agreement with the Warriors. He will return to Golden State when the Warriors settle the contract renewal and transaction issues with Kumingga.

Fifth place: Payton Jr.

Peton Jr.'s condition is similar to Melton. He has been playing a reliable rotation role with the Warriors in the past few seasons. After the offseason contract expires, many teams are interested in getting him.

But with the end of the first wave of major adjustments, Payton Jr. did not find a new owner. He was also exposed to reaching an oral agreement with the Warriors, and was also waiting for the end of the Kumingga farce.

4th place: Ben Simmons

Ben Simmons has just ended the fat contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars. After buying out the Clippers last season, Ben Simmons was once highly expected, hoping that he can play the role of substitute point guard behind Harden.

Unfortunately, his performance is still not stable enough, and his role and appearance time in the playoffs have also been compressed. With the Clippers introducing Paul and Bill, it is difficult for Ben Simmons to return to the Clippers, and the Warriors will be one of its few choices.

Third place: Kofi

is another player who was abandoned by the Clippers' lineup. He is an underrated 3D player. He is only 28 years old and is in his peak period. He averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 40.9%.

Unfortunately, he has limited performance in the playoffs, but for most teams that need to improve their wing defense and shooting, Coffey is an excellent candidate for basic salary.

Second place: Westbrook played the sixth man role in the Nuggets last season and also delivered a consistent "Westbrook-like" performance, proving himself again on the court as a reliable substitute point guard candidate.

The Kings are currently interested in getting Westbrook, but are also waiting for the competition with the Warriors to make room and place to introduce Westbrook.

No. 1: Horford

Horford is another player who has reached an oral agreement with the Warriors but has not completed the formal signing due to the Kumingga problem.

As an inside player with rich experience, top football players and space capabilities, Horford almost perfectly meets the Warriors' system and employment standards.
