With the end of the NBA preseason, all teams completed the 20-man roster, and eventually the 14-man or 15-man roster was finalized.
Players who fail to compete will be cut and then head to the development league, waiting for new opportunities to emerge.
The 2021-2022 regular season is also about to kick off, and the US media [Sports Illustrated] also listed several players who have not been contracted to be renewed and will be traded in the middle of the season.
Di Vincenzo
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, Bucks, DiVincenzo, 1.93m, dual-energy guard</h1>
He was once the MOP of the NBA's final four in 2018, and he scored a double-double multiple times in the regular season last season. For example, he contributed a quasi-triple-double with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in a game against the Pelicans. Missed the playoffs last season with an Achilles tendon injury.
If the season can still maintain a good momentum of progress, then after the contract expires next summer, the Bucks will have to give him more than 10 million contract extensions. After renewing alphabet brother and Holliday, the team has exceeded the tax.
The Bucks could trade him out mid-season or at the end of the season in exchange for cheaper rookies or draft picks.
Mikakar Bridges
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, Suns, Mikael Bridges, 1.98m, forward-guard swingman</h1>
He's a newly developed 3D forward guard for the Suns, and last season was his third season, and he's been improving, scoring, rebounding, assisting, and defending.
He averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season and even contributed to the team's second-highest 27 points in the second Finals with the Bucks.
The team is facing the expiration of the contracts of Ayton, Bridges, Shamet and many other rookies, and the Suns are likely to retain Ayton with the maximum salary and choose to give up Bridges, because his position is replaced by Cameron Johnson.
Sexton
3, Cavaliers, Colin Sexton, 1.88m, scoring guard
He's a very physical scorer and breaker, scoring 41 points against the Celtics in 2020 and 42 against the Nets in 2021.
He is also the third player in Cavaliers history to contribute 40 points in a single game before the age of 22.
Although he worked very the defensive end, the defensive effect was not ideal, and due to his lack of organizational skills and short height, he could not play the point guard position. The combination of Sexton and Garland's double dwarfs made the Cavaliers hesitate to keep the lineup going.
At present, his renewal negotiations with the Cavaliers have also reached an impasse, with the media believing that the Cavaliers will trade him out in the middle of the season.
