  • Shayne Whittington (Indiana Pacers), Jakarr Sampson (Philadelphia 76ers), Andrew Dawkins (Miami HEAT), Alex Kirk (Cleveland Cavaliers), Travis Wear (New York Knicks), Eric Moreland (Sacramento Kings) and Patric Young (New Orleans Pelicans) went undrafted this past year.
  • Jerome Jordan (Brooklyn Nets), Jorge Gutierrez (Brooklyn Nets), Justin Holiday (Golden State Warriors), Jordan Hamilton (Utah Jazz), Joe Ingles (Utah Jazz), Charlie Villanueva (Dallas Mavericks), Lou Amundson (Cleveland Cavaliers), A.J. Price (Cleveland Cavaliers) are veterans who played their way onto the opening night roster throughout training camp, or were picked up by another team after being cut.
  • According to reports, Gal Mekel is going to be on his way out of Dallas soon as they look to make room for J.J. Barea, who recently was let go by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
  • After being traded by the Detroit Pistons then cut by the Boston Celtics, veteran point guard Will Bynum is one of the top free agents on the market, and likely to get picked up in short order. The team that could have the most interest in him is the Los Angeles Lakers, who recently lost Steve Nash for the rest of the season. The Lakers are expected to apply for a Disabled Players Exception, which they could use to sign Bynum. Currently they only have Ronnie Price and Jeremy Lin as the only true point guards on the roster.
  • Ray Allen has yet to make a decision on retirement, but will have plenty of suitors to choose from if he decides he wants to keep playing. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the favorites and have told Allen they will make room for him whenever he is ready. They currently have 15 players under contract, but have the unguaranteed deals of Amundson, Price and Kirk they can easily let go of to make room.
  • Teams with spots available: Chicago Bulls, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings.
  • The Philadelphia 76ers have 15 players under contract, but outside of Michael Carter-Williams, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel, nobody should feel safe. Even those three, as Carter-Williams found out this offseason, shouldn’t feel too comfortable either. The 76ers have shown a willingness to take on bad contracts if they like the asset attached to it enough, and can easily make room with so many low-figure contracts.
  • One player, Memphis’ Nick Calathes, is starting the season off on the suspension list after failing a drug test for Tamoxifen, which is on the banned substances list. Calathes was suspended 20 games and have served seven already.
