With the NBA set to return in late July, the league has invited 22 teams to Orlando to finish out the 2019-20 season.
The bottom eight teams in the league will be forced to watch from home. Here is the most important upcoming free agent for each of those franchises. Those with player or team options were not included.
(The free agents list was found at Spotrac.)
Atlanta Hawks - Jeff Teague, PG (unrestricted)
While the Hawks already have Trae Young entrenched as their starting point guard, they did acquire Teague in January to back him up. Previously playing for the Hawks from 2009-10 to 2015-16, the 32-year-old averaged 7.7 points and four assists in his 25 games for Atlanta in 2019-20.
He even broke his brother's ankles!

Charlotte Hornets - Bismack Biyombo, C (unrestricted)
In what was his ninth season, Biyombo actually averaged a career-best scoring average of 7.4 in 2019-20. While the 27-year-old hasn’t lived up to the billing of being picked seventh overall in 2011, he has at least proven to be a solid rim projector.
