So too was Jaden Ivey by the Chicago Bulls and Cole Anthony by the Phoenix Suns. Ben Simmons never found a home through the 2025-26 season. Current free agents were left off the overall list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The Kings will have to seriously consider releasing DeMar DeRozan, whose $25.7 million is only $10 million guaranteed. If so, he&#8217;ll join the list as an older but still high-level NBA scorer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Bradley Beal has opted out of his final year with the LA Clippers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Others include Ariel Hukporti, Quinten Post, Brandon Williams, Ochai Agbaji, Jeremy Sochan, Ziaire Williams, Kevon Looney, Mike Conley, Zach Collins, AJ Lawson, Bones Hyland, Aaron Holiday, and Tyus Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Email Eric Pincus at eric.pincus@gmail.com and follow him on X\/Twitter <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/EricPincus\">@EricPincus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Thomas was recently let go by the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.
