NBA Free Agency 2016: Point Guards

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-11 / Last team: Indiana
5.7 ppg, 3.6 apg

The Ty Lawson experiment didn’t work in Houston and Indiana. Career at crossroads for a player that was considered a borderline All-Star not long ago.

Agent: Happy Walters
2015/16 Earnings: $12,444,552
Career Earnings: $41,745,737
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Last team: Memphis
10.3 ppg, 3.8 apg

The trade to Memphis did wonders for him. Then he got injured and waived.

Agent: Sam Goldfeder
2015/16 Earnings: $4,300,000
Career Earnings: $22,627,889
Player Option / Point Guard / 5-11 / Last team: Brooklyn
7.3 ppg, 4.4 apg

Comes off his best year as a pro. Looks like a career backup at the point guard position.

Agent: Jim Tanner
2015/16 Earnings: $1,500,000
Career Earnings: $4,643,040
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Last team: New Orleans
10.6 ppg, 3.7 apg, 3.4 rpg

Finished the season with a career-high 10.6 ppg, mostly as a byproduct of green light to shoot for a team where everybody was injured.

Agent: Rich Paul
2015/16 Earnings: $3,203,780
Career Earnings: $8,489,666
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Detroit

Want to play one more year, then go home. Good locker room presence to have around.

Agent: Joel Bell
2015/16 Earnings: $2,100,000
Career Earnings: $36,923,977
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-9 / Last team: Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel)

Put up big numbers in Israel last season. The NBA may not be a bad fallback plan for him if his flirtation with the NFL doesn’t work out.

Agent: Aaron Goodwin
2015/16 Earnings: $26,456
Career Earnings: $24,727,781
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Atlanta

Career Earnings: $71,692,268
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Last team: San Antonio

Career Earnings: $97,709,070
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Miami

Energetic and athletic point guard who always ends up making a team.

Euro teams may pay more for his services than NBA squads.
