13. O.J. MAYO: The Grizzlies made qualifying offers to forwards Marreese Speights and Darrell Arthur but not Mayo, whose $7.4 million would have put Memphis well into supertax territory. The combo guard is free to sign with any team but may have to take a bit of a pay cut. He is just 24, makes 3-pointers and can attack off the dribble. But the market is filled with veteran shooting guards. DESTINATION?: Indiana tried to trade for him two years ago and has the cap room to outbid others. Chicago and New York would be good fits via the mid-level exception.
14. ANDREI KIRILENKO. Took a one-year hiatus to CSKA Moscow in his native Russia and dominated in the Euroleague, so the 31-year-old clearly has plenty left in the tank. Signed a three-year contract that has an out to return to the NBA and there will definitely be interest in his defensive versatility and veteran knowhow. DESTINATION?: The Raptors and Nets already are said to be interested.
15. JAMAL CRAWFORD: Will opt out of the one year and $5 million left on his contract, which puts him right back where he was a year ago: believing he will get more on the open market and ending up disappointed. He shot 38 percent last season, his lowest mark since his 2000-01 rookie campaign. DESTINATION?: Could be a less expensive consolation prize for a team unsuccessful in chasing Lou Williams.
16. JASON KIDD: He turns 40 next season and has said recently that he will (a) take a one-year deal and (b) wants to play with Deron Williams. He believes that will be in Dallas but isn’t opposed to returning to the Nets for their maiden season in Brooklyn. As a 15-minute backup schooling subs with his smarts, he probably has more than one year left in him. DESTINATION?: He seems attached to Williams, with whom he shares an agent. But Chicago – where he could keep the seat warm for Derrick Rose and hold C.J. Watson’s hand – is secretly intriguing.
17. RAMON SESSIONS: Decided to opt out of his final year at $4.55 million, probably thinking the Lakers need him and will pay him more in a multi-year deal. But he could get left holding the bag if Mitch Kupchak figures out a way to convince Williams or Nelson that playing alongside Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum for the next four years might not be so bad. DESTINATION?: If not the Lakers, how about a mid-level exception deal from the Bulls? They need to find someone better than C.J. Watson to replace Derrick Rose. The Thunder are a long shot if they want to get younger than Derek Fisher.
18. CARL LANDRY: When the Hornets traded Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza, the possibility of Landry remaining in New Orleans increased – but not at the $9 million he made last season. He is only 28 and shoots 50 percent from the field. DESTINATION?: If not the Hornets, then whichever team unsuccessfully chases Bass could use Landry as a consolation prize.
19. MICHAEL BEASLEY: Hard to believe this 23-year-old potent scorer is about to join his third team in five seasons, but that’s what happens when you refuse to work on any other aspect of your game. Minnesota declined his qualifying offer of $8.2 million, and he won’t get that in free agency. But someone will find his offensive skill set desirable. DESTINATION?: The Bobcats and Cavaliers both desperately need scoring at the small forward slot.
20. MICKAEL PIETRUS: Really boosted his stock with a strong postseason for the Celtics – which has been his M.O. in Golden State and Orlando as well. Defense, 3-point shooting and willingness to come off the bench should make him very desirable. DESTINATION?: The Celtics have been a good fit, but so would the Knicks and Nets.
21. RASHARD LEWIS: He is done as a starter in this league, and as soon as he acknowledges that he will be able to re-invent himself as a slightly more diverse version of Steve Novak. He turns 33 in August and needs to come off the bench to hide the defensive deficiencies created by his knee woes. DESTINATION?: Lewis and Jordan Hill are a better bench big tandem that the joke duo of Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy that the Lakers tried to get by with last season.
22. NICK YOUNG: Until he improves his shot selection, defends better and puts the high school hijinks behind him, he will be viewed as a backup. But the 27-year-old can score in bunches – as he showed on occasion in the playoffs – and he does have 3-point range. DESTINATION?: The Clippers have a handful of guards – Young, Randy Foye, Chauncey Billups – potentially in flux. This is one they should keep at no more than mid-level money. He could fill a hole in Minnesota as well.
23. RANDY FOYE: Has averaged nearly 12 points and better than three assists per game since entering the league six years ago. Will never be a knockdown shooter but has 3-point range (career-high 127 this season) and makes his free throws. Still just 28 and may get better in the right situation. DESTINATION?: The Mavericks, Thunder, Blazers, Knicks and Wizards all have a need for Foye’s skill set. He will come cheap because there are bigger names in front of him.
24. GERALD GREEN: Is a half-season of career highs enough to convince folks he’s here to stay? It won’t cost a lot to find out. Still just 26, he could be the steal of the summer if his willingness to work approaches his athleticism and energy. A three-year, $12 million deal probably gets it done. DESTINATION?: If the Nets can land Howard, this is one of the pieces they should keep. Milwaukee, Dallas and the Lakers all should take a long look.
25. BORIS DIAW: Clearly needs to be in the right situation, as his apathy in Charlotte and his enthusiasm in San Antonio demonstrated. But his all-around offensive skills and ability to play multiple positions will make him attractive. Now 30 years old, still doesn’t defend very well and his days of making $9 million are over. DESTINATION?: Would love to stay with Spurs given his kinship with fellow Frenchman Tony Parker. A losing team would have to overpay him.
