14. Mo Williams, PG

Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
Best Fits: Cavaliers

Veteran guards are a commodity on contending teams, and the Cavaliers need a backup behind Kyrie Irving who won’t be a liability if the onus is placed on him. Matthew Dellavedova was great, but the Cavs were using a third rotation guy in the starting lineup and Mo Williams could alleviate that.

13. Jeremy Lin, PG

Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
Best Fits: Mavericks, Bulls

Linsanity was a lot of fun, and it might not be over. Jeremy Lin flamed out with the Rockets and things went even poorer with the Lakers. He could be a great fit with the Chicago Bulls though, as they need a backup behind the fragile Derrick Rose and a chance to play in that system might return us to the era of Linsanity we all loved and enjoyed.

12. Gerald Green, SG

Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
Best Fits: Nuggets, Magic

He’s not a starting guard anymore and he’s not going to take up a ton of minutes, but he has a lot of ability to be a backup who brings value to whoever he signs with. The Nuggets and Magic are young teams who need a veteran on the bench, and Green could be that guy.

11. J.R. Smith, SG

Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
Best Fits: Cavaliers, Spurs

Who wants to sign a guy that takes five thousand shots a game and lives and dies on his streakiness? The San Antonio Spurs are a fantastic option for Smith is he doesn’t return to the Cavaliers. Cleveland is the best fit for J.R., but the Spurs could use Smith when Pop is resting his veterans and he needs someone to make it look like he cares about the regular season and gives fans something to be entertained by.

10. Luis Scola, PF

Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
Best Fits: Spurs

It’s had to see Scola being fully functional with whoever he signs with but the team that gets him is going to have a player on the bench who at times could help them win games. The trick is fitting him in the right spot, and the Spurs could be a great place for Scola to bring his career full circle.
