Free Agency: The prominent names that have not yet found a team for the 2026/27 season
James Harden, Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Bradley Beal are just some of the figures who have not yet resolved their future.
The NBA free agency market still has several players without contracts, with very different profiles. Among them are young players with room to grow, established veterans, and some of the most recognizable names of the past decades.
Young free agents still waiting
In addition to the three restricted free agents still available—Jalen Duren, Peyton Watson, and Bennedict Mathurin—all under 25 years old, there are also several unrestricted free agents aged 27 and younger.
This group includes Jonathan Kuminga, Brandon Williams, Ochai Agbaji, Trendon Watford, and Blake Wesley, among others.
Harden, Westbrook, and DeRozan, the standout names
However, the most experienced players who have yet to find a team are NBA veterans entering the final stages of their careers. The standout names are former league MVPs James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
Joining them are six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan, five-time All-Star Kevin Love, and three-time All-Star Bradley Beal.
Harden is the only one in this group whose future seems relatively clear, as he is expected to re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The situations of the other four are much more uncertain.
DeRozan, for instance, has been linked to several teams but has yet to find a new destination after being released by Sacramento last month. In contrast, there has been much less movement around Westbrook, Love, and Beal, although Westbrook himself was linked to the Kings last week after playing in Sacramento during the 2025-26 season.
A lengthy list of veterans with over a decade in the NBA
Several players with over ten years of NBA experience are still available. The list, with their ages in 2026, is as follows:
Cameron Payne (32 years)
Seth Curry (36)
Doug McDermott (34)
Nicolas Batum (38)
Jeff Green (40)
Bismack Biyombo (34)
Kelly Olynyk (35)
Mason Plumlee (36)
Dwight Powell (35)
Other veteran free agents
Lastly, there is another group of players that do not fit into any of the previous categories. These are veterans who theoretically are in a mid-career stage, although the first of them did not finish last season with any team.
The list includes Lonzo Ball (29 years), Aaron Holiday (30), Gabe Vincent (30), Bruce Brown (30), Lindy Waters (29), Tony Bradley (28), Drew Eubanks (29), and Nick Richards (29).
