Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale published an article that lists 10 NBA free agents that need a change of scenery to salvage their careers. A couple of the players mentioned were linked to the Oklahoma City Thunder as a new home for them.
The two players are a pair of young bigs in Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton and Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba, who are both restricted free agents.
The Magic — who will most likely select Auburn forward Jabari Smith Jr. first overall in the 2022 NBA draft — have a frontcourt logjam with Wendell Carter Jr., Jonathan Isaac and potentially Smith Jr. Bamba’s contract and health could cause him to be the odd man out as he has played just 226 games in four seasons.
