2:08am, 30 June 2025【Basketball】

At present, the 2025 draft has all ended, but in this year's draft, many teams have not selected their favorite players, especially for some teams that lack centers, which have not been strengthened in this position. Teams such as the Trail Blazers and Suns have selected big centers, and the inside has become very crowded. Teams such as the Lakers and Warriors that lack inside are not successful, but there are no need to worry. There are still many high-quality centers in this year's free agent market.

It can be said that these teams without big inside this year can get a good supplement with just a little hard work. Although there are no top centers in the free market, there are still some high-quality centers that can contribute to the team!

1. Horford, he is 39 years old this year, with an annual salary of 9.5 million US dollars. His contract with the Celtics has ended this year. At present, the Celtics have not stated that they will sign with Horford. Although they are already old, they can still play an important role in some key games. For teams that are eager to compete for the championship, you can give it a try.

2. Plumley, playing in the Suns this season, is 35 years old this year, with an annual salary of US$2.09 million, and can contribute 4.5 points and 6 rebounds per game. In this year's draft, the Suns selected two inside players and will definitely not keep him anymore. Although they are not young, their physical athletic ability is still very good. It is still no problem to play for another 2-3 years, and their physical fitness is very excellent.

4. Boer, he is 25 years old this year, with an annual salary of US$2.09 million, and he also plays for the Suns, but his contract has expired. Last season, he scored 25 points, 23 points, etc. Giving enough playing time and scoring more than 10 points is no problem, with a three-point shooting percentage of 34.4%. You should know that the Suns do not have a good passer, and it is already very good to be able to perform like this. He is 221cm tall and is not much shorter than Wenban Yama!

5. Nance, 32 years old this year, has an annual salary of 11.21 million US dollars. He played for the Hawks last season and averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. The Suns brought Porzingis from the Celtics. In addition, the team also has Okonwu. If nothing unexpected happens, Nance will leave. For teams that need the inside, you can give it a try!

6. Capela, 31 years old this year, has an annual salary of US$22.27 million, and this year's contract is expiring. It is obvious that the Hawks will no longer keep him. This season, he can win 8+8 in averaging 20 minutes of playing. Although the data is not impressive, it is very stable. In addition, he is a relatively young among the centers in the free market. However, he still received more than 20 million last season. If it is a basic salary, he may not be able to get it. At least he has to have a middle class.

7. Lopez is 37 years old this year, with an annual salary of US$23 million, which is also an expiring contract. In the last season of the Bucks, his combat effectiveness is still very strong. He averaged 31 minutes today, averaged 13 points per game, and nearly 2 blocks. In the game, he scored more than 20 points many times, especially his defensive hands, and he still made great contributions. Playing for another year or two is not a problem.

8. Langdale, 29 years old this year, has an annual salary of US$8 million. The contract with the Rockets has not yet ended, but next season it is an unsecured contract, so it was cut by the Rockets. Although the data is very average, the Rockets don’t have many opportunities to play, but this year, he shot 42.3% of 3-point shooting percentage, which is quite good. In addition, he is the youngest among these centers. It is indeed a very good choice for those teams lacking centers.

Overall, these inside players have a common characteristic, which is generally older, but they still have certain combat effectiveness at present. It is indeed a very good supplement for those teams that urgently need centers. It can be said that it is a timely help. Especially the Warriors and the Lakers. As long as they win any of them, it is a bonus to the team's strength. It is not an exaggeration to be able to compete for the championship directly, especially the Warriors are already very good, and the Lakers, strictly speaking, do not have centers at all. The main problem is that they are very cheap, and they can be considered for basic salary or middle-class people.

Just choose! In the NBA free market, 8 high-quality centers, the Lakers and Warriors win 1 player, and you can compete for the championship!
