NBA free agency tips off June 30, and while a bunch of superstar movement isn’t expected, there are some players available who can absolutely help change the fortunes or direction of a franchise. So now seems like a good time as any to play some free-agency matchmaker! Here are a few free agents who could be on the move this summer, where I would like to see them play next and why I think this new team could be a great fit.
Deandre Ayton, Raptors
O.K., let’s get down to business here. The Suns decided not to extend Ayton last summer, and now he’s a restricted free agent. Phoenix can match any offer Ayton signs and bring him back. Another option would be to move him in a sign-and-trade, and that’s how I have Ayton headed to Toronto. The Suns can get valuable players in return, and the Raptors can acquire someone they otherwise wouldn’t have the space to sign.
