Other Key Names
Eric Bledsoe (Trail Blazers) – The Blazers had a level of interest in trading Eric Bledsoe after acquiring him from the Clippers at the trade deadline, but no real offers ever came their way and they are prepared to potentially waive him in the offseason since only $3.9 million of his total $19.4 million for next season is guaranteed.
Gary Harris (Magic) – Sources have told NBA Analysis Network that the Magic do not intend on buying Gary Harris out of his contract unless he wants out of Orlando. As of right now, the veteran shooting guard is expected to remain a part of Orlando’s roster, as he has not expressed interest in going elsewhere this season as of this moment.
John Wall (Rockets) – The Rockets and John Wall have been working on options for the former All-Stars future for months now and while there was a deal proposed that would have sent him to the Lakers at the trade deadline, Houston declined to accept a straight-up swap of Wall for Westbrook.
Having a $47.4 million player option for next season, it will be very interesting to see what the Rockets do with Wall’s massive one-year contract.

Robin Lopez (Magic) – Similar to Gary Harris, the Magic could explore the possibility of buying out Robin Lopez from his contract, but he is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and has been a likeable veteran voice in the Magic’s locker room, leading many to believe that he will not be bought out of his contract at this time.
