The NBA division semifinals are still in progress, but for most teams, the 23-24 season is over, and they need to focus on the free market in the offseason.

5th place: Anunoby (player option)

Although Anunoby lacks the playmaking and ball-handling ability to make it impossible for him to become a top star, he is a reasonable piece of the championship puzzle, and after his arrival, the Knicks have successfully transformed into a real powerhouse.

On the offensive end, he is an excellent fixed-point shooter, and he also has a certain mid-range ultimate ability after holding the ball, and his defense is his forte, combining height, confrontation, resilience and defensive instincts, and he is an elite defender.

Fourth place: Siakam

Like Anunoby, Sika continued to dominate the game at the top level after changing teams in the middle of the season.

Aside from his lack of consistent three-point shooting, Siakam can do almost everything on the court and can even play as the No. 5 on a small lineup.

In the playoffs, he has continuously completed self-certification, and if you look at the playoff influence alone, Sika is the real core of the Pacers.

3rd Place: James (Player Option)

James is about to turn 40, but he's still one of the best players in the NBA, and he's proving himself once again against defending champions the Nuggets in the first round.

With reasonable playing time and role positioning, James can still play absolute dominance in a single game, and he can be trusted in scoring, playmaking creativity and rebounding.

For most teams, James is still a high-quality reinforcement, and I believe the Lakers will do their best to keep him.

2nd Place: Paul George (Player Option)

As he got older, Paul George's explosiveness declined severely, causing him to be more and more inclined to solve problems with shooting on the offensive end.

He does have the ability to shoot difficult shots, but the sheer number of difficult shots has affected his efficiency, and even then, he's still one of the best two-way players on the roster when healthy.

The Clippers are also willing to keep him, but they just want to sign a contract that is slightly below the maximum salary, after all, Xiaoka has also chosen to take an appropriate salary cut.

1st place: Maxey

There is no doubt that the top spot belongs to Maxey, who has grown further after Harden's departure, providing reliable playmaking.

Coupled with his fast pace and all-round attacking approach, Maxey is on his way to becoming one of the best defenders on the roster.

What's more, he is only 23 years old, with at least 5-10 years left in his prime, and I believe that all teams are willing to offer him a big contract.

6-10: Harden, DeRozan, Bridges, Monk and Toha

Harden is a representative of this class, he was once one of the best players in the league, winning MVP and several scoring titles.

But after suffering injuries and getting older, Harden has transitioned to role players, and so have the rest of the players, who are quality starters, but are no longer seen as qualified stars and team cores.

11-15: Russell, Quickley, Claxton, Pope and Clay

This bracket is also a qualified starter, but the star rating is not as good as the previous bracket, with Russell and Klay being the best examples.

Russell plays a three-in-command role with the Lakers, but is only worth about 18 million, and Klay was once the best 3-and-D player in the league, but after a major injury, his defense has slipped too quickly and has been reduced to a role player.

16-20: Hatten, Wallan, Hield, Oubre and Jones;

21-25: Westbrook, Brown, Beasley, Sadiq Bey and Toppin;

26-30: Big Wagner, Lee Kyle, Gary Trent Jr., Dinwiddie and Okoro.
