With the NBA season just a month away, teams are turning their attention to plugging the last remaining holes on their rosters.

Most of the top names are already off the board. Young wings Peyton Watson and Jonathan Kuminga were among the most recent to find new homes, along with established veterans Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan. That leaves a thin, but still useful, list of players still searching for a home.

Leading the list of available players is Bruce Brown, a 6-foot-4, 30-year-old swingman who played a key role for the Denver Nuggets during their 2023 championship run. Brown has moved around plenty since then, playing for the Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, and New Orleans Pelicans before returning to Denver last season. However, the Nuggets’ tricky salary cap situation, which ultimately cost them Watson as well, has left him without a team once again heading into this season. Both the Lakers and Knicks have reportedly shown interest, and it would be a mild surprise if he’s still unsigned once the regular season tips off given his proven ability to fill various team needs.

Beyond Brown, the remaining free-agent class is mostly made up of aging veterans: Kevin Love, Seth Curry, Gabe Vincent, Dwight Powell, and Kelly Olynyk.

Love has the most decorated résumé of the group. A five-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA selection, and a champion with the Cavaliers in 2016, he’ll turn 38 before the season starts and is likely ticketed for a reserve role wherever he lands. Even so, his veteran presence and career 36.9 percent three-point shooting on 4.7 attempts a game as a big man should still hold some value for a contender looking to round out its bench.

Curry and Vincent offer intriguing backcourt depth on paper, but both have seen their production slide significantly in recent seasons, and that decline could make it harder for either to lock down a roster spot. Powell and Olynyk face a similar challenge as potential third-string centers; both can still offer something, but their most productive days are clearly behind them.

The Lakers have also been linked to Powell, largely because of his history as a longtime teammate of Luka Doncic in Dallas. That kind of familiarity could help him land a deal, even if it’s unlikely to move the needle much on the court. For a Lakers team with championship aspirations, it would be a low-cost, low-risk depth move that will, most importantly, score them brownie points with Doncic.
