The NBA's free agency period has seen a flurry of signings, leaving only a handful of top players available. Four of the top ten remaining are restricted free agents, making their signings complex. Intriguing options include Deandre Ayton, potentially joining the Lakers or Pacers, and Damian Lillard, despite an Achilles injury and uncertainty about his 2025-26 availability. Other notable players still unsigned are Paul, Westbrook, and Horford, while Malik Beasley's situation remains clouded by a gambling investigation. The market is described as unusually slow for restricted free agents.
