Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[loki]

Interestingly, this is a discussion I've long wanted to have. Who are the players currently playing backup roles, those who may be presently undervalued, or that haven't peaked yet?  The best Mavs example is Steve Nash, who spent years as the Suns' 2nd and 3td stringer, but blossomed in Dallas. 

Here are my lil' darlings that I think can blow up once they develop:

Joan Beringer 
Asparagus Jakucionis (It autocorrected from Kasparas lol)
Collin Murray Boyles
Isaiah Collier  -- backup to George 
Jayson Tyson 
The Wizards are stacked with young players. Considering they've changed their timeline, it's very possible that a player/s like Will Riley, Bub Carrington or Bilal Coulibaly could be snagged in a PJ or Naji deal.

Now, I recognize not all of these are "undervalued".  I think the Cavs see Tyson's potential. It's just that in Cleveland he's a 4th or 5th option. If Lebron goes there  who knows, but I think he has All Star SG next to Cooper.

Ron Holland deserves a mention here. The shot still needs work, but he's a monster defensively. Could target him in a PJ trade this offseason.
