Top 3 NBA Free Agents Remaining At a Bargain Price
With the NBA free agency rush died down to a slow crawl now, there are still some good players at a bargain rate to be found on the open market for teams with specific needs.
With Chris Paul expected, by all accounts, to sign with the LA Clippers, let's have a look at the next best three who can still be had for a bargain price:
Russell Westbrook
The 36-year-old Westbrook entered free agency when he decided to decline his $3.4 million player option with the Denver Nuggets after last season, and we've already outlined some teams that have Westbrook on their radar.
With the Nuggets, he averaged 13.3 points and 6.1 assists in almost 28 minutes a game, proving that he can thrive off the bench in the right situation.
We heard this past week that another Eastern Conference contender also has their eye on Russ, while Shai Gilgeous Alexander has an offer for Westbrook in OKC that he might not be able to refuse:

Chris Boucher
The longtime Toronto Raptors forward/center, the only holdover from the team's 2019 championship, is looking for a new home. With his 7'4" wingspan, notes Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, he's able "to release jumpers well over defenders as well as challenge shots all over the floor."
Boucher averaged 10.0 points and 4.5 rebounds this past season, while shooting 36.3% from long distance, in just 17.2 minutes per game. He adds a whole different dimension coming off the bench.
Amir Coffey
The top 3-and-D wing on the market, Coffey is 28, and coming off the best season of his six-year career with the LA Clippers. He averaged 9.7 points with 40.9% shooting from distance in 72 games. And as noted by Swartz, "Coffey can play and guard multiple positions... (and) is an easy plug-and-play option for any contender."
