Nov 16, 2020

Who are these top 2020 NBA free agents?

October 18, 2020, sees the commencement of the NBA's 2020 Free Agency period.

However, there is talk that the free agency period might be pushed back. But, whenever the period starts, some top NBA stars will be available for free and they might be on many top team's wishlists.

Additionally, the NBA championship is in the final stages and this bonus code provides various betting options to the players with improved markets and competitive odds. While we await the return of the regular NBA season, who are these top 2020 NBA free agents?

The key points to note; A star with (player) or (team) option can go-ahead to build into their existing contract to stretch it further. A star with (restricted) option will mean that their current teams can match any offer they can draw from other organizations.

Anthony Davis (Player Option)

His Los Angeles Lakers' debut campaign was nothing short of fantastic. Anthony Davis put on great numbers and an exceptional run and one can't picture him not wearing the L.A Lakers jersey next season. He worked to get here and if it means turning down the player option to remain at LA, he will. He is represented by Rich Paul, a close friend to LeBron James, and Klutch Sports Group and most pundits foresee him opting out and re-signing with L.A Lakers. It remains to be seen if Davis extends a further year or commit for three years with a player option on the fourth year.

DeMar DeRozan (Player Option)

If there is one star who has been consistently putting great performances over the last five years, then it has to be DeMar DeRozan! The San Antonio Spurs man has been among the only five players in the NBA to score 1,500+ points every season since 2015. He sits in the company of heavyweights with LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, and James Harden as the other four.

The past season saw him average points (20+), rebounds (5+), and assists (5+) with over 50% shooting. He was one of two players to achieve this with Giannis Antetokounmpo being the other. Currently, his option for the 20/21 season is $27.7 million but he looks to re-sign for one more season before becoming a free agent in 2021. Time will tell!

Brandon Ingram (Restricted)

The trade between New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers saw Anthony Davis head to LA and Brandon become one of the players to head to the Pelicans. He has since had an outstanding season in New Orleans putting in career-high numbers in points (23.8), rebounds (6.1), assists (4.2), steals per game (1.0), and 85.1% free-throw percentage.

His great input over the season saw him awarded the NBA's Most Improved Player award. Brandon only turned 23 recently and one would argue he is yet to reach his full potential. Many would be shocked if the Pelicans didn't tie him down to a maximum-salary contract.
