Top landing spots for remaining NBA Free Agents

Throughout this NBA offseason, there has been a large amount of movement, whether it is through trades or free agency. Free agency has already seen most of the top big names sign their contracts, but there are still some names left on the board that teams can go and pursue. Here are the top landing spots for the best eight remaining free agents left in 2025. Damian Lillard - Boston Celtics The 9 time All-Star seems the best fit to join the Boston Celtics after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks. Lillard, who will be recovering from an Achilles Tear, is hoping to be back before the 2026 playoffs, but it seems more likely we won't see the superstar until 2027. Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who has won a Gold Medal with Lillard, has been actively pursuing him to join the Celtics, according to Boston Globe's Gary Washburn in a recent article. http://gty.im/1332865954 Tatum, who is also recovering from an Achilles tear, may see this as a major opportunity to recover together. Boston just acquired Lillard's old teammate, Anfernee Simons, which may help in recruiting him. Boston has undergone significant changes this offseason, losing key players from its 2024 championship team. Adding superstar Damian Lillard is perfect for them to make another run at the title. Josh Giddey - Chicago Bulls Australian star Josh Giddey seems poised to re-sign with the Chicago Bulls. Giddey is coming off a breakout season after being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The restricted free agent seems to be asking for a big contract from the Bulls, with talks between both parties reaching a standoff. Chicago seems to be holding off on re-signing Giddey as they believe his value is less than what Giddey's party believes. The Bulls can also match any offer by another team as Giddey is a restricted free agent. Chicago seems the best place for Giddey to thrive, and it does seem likely that he will be in a Bulls uniform next year, even with questions around negotiations over the contract. http://gty.im/2165547598 Jonathan Kuminga - Golden State Warriors Jonathan Kuminga seems to want a fresh start, but resigning with the Warriors may be the best option for the 22-year-old. Kuminga, who is coming off another good season with the Warriors wants a nice long-term contract. Throughout his first 4 seasons, Kuminga has been frustrated with his playing time. He has proven that he deserves an opportunity, but playing in a team with Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green makes it difficult for him. According to Clutch Points' Brett Siegel, Kuminga seems likely to resign, but with the hope of being traded by the next trade deadline. Jonathan is looking for an opportunity to showcase his potential, but he may have to wait some time before showing that on a new team. Cam Thomas - Brooklyn Nets Cam Thomas' return home looks to be his best option for a new contract deal. Cam Thomas, who just averaged 24 points per game in only 25 games, is looking to sign a healthy-sized deal. Thomas value is hard to determine as he is a world-class scorer, but other areas in his game are yet to reach an elite level. There are questions about whether Cam Thomas can be a high-contribution player on a contending team. There hasn't been much news in Cam Thomas' contract negotiations, but the Brooklyn Nets are the best fit for him to prove himself as a great player in the league. Chris Paul - Los Angeles Clippers A return home for the 40-year-old Hall of Famer seems the best fit for potentially his last year in the NBA. Paul, who just played all 82 games last season, could make a high impact on a team that needs another playmaker to add to their roster. Joining the Clippers, Paul will be able to be a high-impact player in low minutes played, similar to what we saw from T.J. McConnell this year on the Pacers. Chris Paul seems to be weighing up multiple options to be a great contributor on a team, but it seems that a return to the Clippers seems his best opportunity to win that championship he has been hunting. http://gty.im/511816166 Al Horford - Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors could be Al Horford's best spot for him to chase another title. With the Celtics looking to take a step back, a move, or potential retirement, seems likely for Horford. The Warriors are a team hunting for another title with Steph Curry, and could add more depth at the big position, especially after losing Kevon Looney to the New Orleans Pelicans. Horford can bring size, shooting and experience to an already experienced roster. Horford signing with the Warriors seems the best fit possible. Quentin Grimes - Utah Jazz Restricted free agent Grimes has a few potential landing spots, but the young Utah Jazz could be the best fit for him to thrive. Grimes, at 24, has had an up-and-down career so far, but after being traded to the 76ers, he had a breakout end of season, showcasing what he can potentially become. He thrived when the opportunity was given through injuries as he averaged 22 points per game, while having two 40-point games towards the end of the season. Utah seems to be one of the teams not contending next year, so Grimes joining the Jazz allows him to showcase more of his skills on a consistent level. Russell Westbrook - Milwaukee Bucks The 2017 NBA Most Valuable Player could be the best fit for the Bucks, especially after the Damian Lillard departure. Milwaukee is in desperate need of more depth at the point guard position. With the current available guards and Milwaukee's salary cap situation, Westbrook seems like the right option for them. It seems the Milwaukee Bucks are the perfect team for Westbrook to contribute on and potentially win that championship to top off his career. http://gty.im/801696986 With NBA free agency already two weeks in, these players should be close to signing their potential deals. The above players have multiple options but the teams listed next to them seems like the best fit. It is going to be quite interesting to see where all these players end up for the upcoming NBA season.
