The NBA free agent market has notable players available like Carlos Boozer, JaVale McGee, Kevin Seraphin, Jason Terry, Andre Miller and Greg Stiemsma and teams like the NY Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards could be interested in some of those names to rosters for training camp.
The Knicks and Lakers both have been interested in making one more move in free agency, as the teams each have an exception to use on a veteran player. Seraphin reportedly has been getting interest from the Lakers, Wizards and Knicks, according to Sheridan Hoops, while Boozer is a target for the Houston Rockets, Knicks and Wizards. McGee has been a target for the Mavericks this summer, but Dallas just signed Samuel Dalembert and could cool on McGee.
UPDATE: Andre Miller has signed with the Timberwolves.
The Lakers, Knicks and Rockets all could be in the market for some guard depth and players like Jason Terry and Andre Miller are available. According to Marc Stein at ESPN.com, the Rockets remain interested in bringing back Jason Terry on a deal. The team just added Ty Lawson, but the team gave up guard depth in the deal and that could lead Terry to return. The Lakers were interested in Lawson and would like a veteran guard behind Jordan Clarkson and D'Angelo Russell. The Lakers could look at Miller or Terry as potential depth pickups.
According to Marc Stein at ESPN.com, McGee has had interest from the Knicks, Lakers and Mavericks, while Seraphin has had the Wizards interested in bringing him back. Seraphin reportedly was looking for a more central role with a team this offseason, but this late in the summer he is likely to lock into a reserve role. Pro Basketball Talk reports that the Wizards would be open to bringing Seraphin back, while the Lakers and Knicks could be options. The teams have a $2.8 million exception to use and the Lakers have one roster spot open.
The Cleveland Cavaliers could be an option for one of the bigs, as the team just traded Mike Miller and Brendan Haywood to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Cavs are working on bringing back JR Smith, Tristan Thompson and they also just signed Matthew Dellavedova back. The team could look at Seraphin as an option, while Stein reports that the Cavs could bring over Sasha Kaun on a deal from Russia, as they retain his draft rights. The team is reportedly looking for a center to play behind Timofey Mozgov and Anderson Varejao.
Carlos Boozer reportedly is getting interest from the Knicks and the Washington Wizards, while the Houston Rockets also could be a fit. The Lakers are not likely bringing back Boozer, as they need a center more than a forward. Seraphin is a target for the Lakers and if he signs in LA, it could open up Boozer to go to Washington. Boozer had a solid season for the Lakers last year and he also could be a fir for the Knicks if they want to add another forward over a center.
