    If you need a center, you might be in luck; while there isn’t a max-worthy target out there, several starting-caliber big men hit the market this year, and many of them are gettable for rivals due to their own teams’ tight salary-cap situations. Even beyond that, the market for the tax and room-exception big men looks frothy, making this arguably the most interesting position of the summer in terms of player movement.

    Small forward has been the NBA’s hardest position to fill since roughly forever, and this season is no exception. It’s an underwhelming offseason market, with a couple of restricted free agents with fingers-crossed projections for future glory leading the pack and basically no other starter-quality players. Even deeper down, it’s hard to find value, as the market has only a few players who are worthy of even room-exception money.

    If you’re looking for NBA All-Stars, you’ve come to the wrong place. It’s an underwhelming free-agent shooting guard market at the top, with basically no star talent available. At a lower level, however, there is a lot of value to be had. Several players grade out as starting-caliber or as plus rotation options based on my BORD$ formula (more on the methodology here), and at least a few of them could realistically be pried from their current teams due to cap situations.

    Welcome to the exception that proves the rule. The NBA free-agent market this summer is generally quite underwhelming, but the point guard position is the one place that isn’t true. Three All-Stars top the list, and seven players here grade out as worth more than the projected nontaxpayer midlevel exception based on my BORD$ formula. (More on the methodology here.)That said, there may be less here than meets the eye.

    ***INDIANAPOLIS — Oklahoma City head coach Mark Daigneault declared, “We have a flat locker room,” in a video call a week before the NBA Finals started, and he didn’t mean it was flat like day-old Schweppes. No, he meant that there was no hierarchy, no levels. The floor was open, and anyone could speak up — whether it was the NBA MVP or somebody who had played 20 total seconds of non-garbage-time minutes in the NBA Finals.
