Derrick Rose
PG, Detroit Pistons

Derrick Rose is a player who could be on the move this offseason, with the Lakers being one of his potential destinations, according to Sean Deveney of the Heavy.

We've heard this song before, Derrick Rose being sought after by a title contender, the Lakers specifically. However, with Rajon Rondo opting out of his deal, Rose makes sense as a veteran who can add to the team's backcourt depth. Also, being on the wrong side of 30 on a rebuilding team, Rose makes a lot of sense to be dealt by the Pistons for some young projects and/or draft picks.

Kawhi Leonard
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Stephen A. Smith is hearing that Kawhi Leonard has "privately clamored" for the Clippers to add a point guard.

A rough postseason put the Clippers' flaws on full display, and the lack of a true orchestrator was a major problem. Patrick Beverley is a tenacious defender but doesn't necessarily fit the mold of a traditional point guard, so adding a real playmaker to help alleviate the pressure on the Clippers' top talent should be a major priority this offseason. The organization has hitched its wagon to Leonard so we'd expect his input to play a big role in the team's future moves.

Gary Payton II
G, Washington Wizards

Hall of Famer Gary Payton is eager for his next chapter in the NBA, he told Yahoo Sports, and believes he is 'now ready to coach.'

He seems likely to seek coaching positions on NBA staffs. We wouldn't expect Payton to get a head coaching gig right out of the gate, like fellow Hall of Famer Steve Nash did in September. Payton has revealed that he is 'eager' to join an NBA franchise and get the next chapter of his basketball life underway. For what it's worth, Payton's son, Gary Payton II, has been a fringe NBA player for the past couple seasons after a stellar college career at Oregon State. The elder Payton could be on the NBA sidelines in 2020-21 so keep an eye out for his name during this unique offseason.

Derrick Jones Jr.
SF, Miami Heat

Derrick Jones Jr., an impending restricted free agent, is expected to receive interest from teams like the Cavs, Hornets and Hawks, among others, per Shams Charania.

Jones has always been an interesting fantasy player but is stuck in a deep Miami rotation. With the Heat prioritizing long-term flexibility and maintaining cap space to hunt out stars, perhaps Jones is a sacrifice they're willing to make. We've seen stretches of top-100 play in the past, but mostly as a fill-in when other players are injured. Last season Jones averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 threes while shooting .527 from the field in 23.4 mpg, so if he were to end up with a larger role on a worse team there's a good chance that Jones would sneak up on many casual fantasy players.

Jeff Green
SF, Houston Rockets

Jeff Green is expected to receive interest "from a slew of contending teams" in free agency, per Shams Charania.

Green's season started off terribly with the Jazz but he found new life as a small-ball center in Houston. He can still be an effective role player but this situation screams of "buyer beware" given Green's hot shooting with the Rockets and his career track record as a lackluster floor-spacer. It's possible that he really is improving as a 3-point threat, but not to the degree that he showed under Mike D'Antoni — who has a long history of elevating role players to the best versions of themselves, by the way. Green is highly unlikely to hold fantasy value next season but he will add to some team's depth in a meaningful way.
