The major players from NBA Free Agency this summer have all landed. LeBron James and Kevin Love are in Cleveland, Carmelo Anthony stayed in New York, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh stayed in Miami, and Pau Gasol is in Chicago. However, there are still some players that can be added to rosters that could have some kind of an impact. These 10 players are still on the market.

The Byron Mullens experience is not always a fun time, but it’s also impossible to deny the big man’s size and talent. Without a team for the upcoming season, it’d be interesting for a team like the Spurs or another successful organization to take a chance on him and try to mold him into an asset.

Brewer hasn’t been able to stick around the league over the last few years for one reason or another. However, he’s had value at one point in his career and it wouldn’t be the worst thing for an organization to see if they can find that value again.

8. James Anderson

Anderson played relatively well for an awful 76ers team last season (which kind of explains why they aren’t going to bring him back). For a team that needs solid scoring on the wing, Anderson could be a solid option.

7. Jermaine O'Neal

After backing up Bogut in Golden State last season, O’Neal won’t be back with the Warriors and is actually contemplating retirement still. However, he was solid for that team last season, so he could be worth the gamble if he does decide to play again this season.

It seemed like Lewis was heading to Dallas, but an injury that was undisclosed to the Mavs when he signed negated the signing. Still injured, Lewis looked solid last season as a perimeter threat and could be seen back in the NBA once he gets back to 100 percent health.

Douglas hasn’t had many meaningful moments recently and hasn’t been particularly good. However, he’s still a relatively young guy and there’s a chance a team could pay him for his services before the year is done.

Cunningham has certainly never been a real difference-maker, but he has been a solid rotation frontcourt player in his career. It’d be surprising if he weren’t back in the NBA before it’s all said and done.

Franklin was pretty surprisingly cut from Memphis after just one year in the league. He’s playing in China for two months, but it’d be an enormous shock if he wasn’t in the NBA by the end of the year given his youth and obvious physical skills.

2. Emeka Okafor

Okafor likely won’t be able to fully return until mid-season, but he’s going to be a top commodity when he does. He’s a veteran presence and a plus-defender without a doubt and teams in the playoff-push will almost indubitably be vying for his services.

It could be a while before the talented veteran sharpshooter signs, but he’s the best value on the market until he does. He’s not the star that he once was in the NBA, but his shooting ability and veteran presence is something that can take a very good team to possibly competing for a title.
