The first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs is officially over and the second round in the Eastern Conference has already begun.
With eight teams eliminated from the postseason, let’s take a look at the most important free agent for each of them. Players with team or player options were not included.
(The list of free agents was found on Spotrac. All the players listed here are unrestricted free agents.)
Brooklyn Nets - Joe Harris
The NBA’s most-accurate three-point shooter in 2018-19, Harris posted career-best averages in scoring (14.5) and rebounds (4.3) in 2019-20.
Assuming everyone comes back to full health...

A @BrooklynNets line up of Irving, LeVert, Joe Harris, DeAndre and KD as the starting five is deadly.
Dallas Mavericks - Trey Burke
Although he didn’t join Dallas until right before the restart, Burke played 26 minutes a contest in the six-game series against the Clippers averaging 12.3 points on 50.8 percent shooting from the field.
