Kent Bazemore is an under-the-radar free agent that could possibly be one of the most sought after free agents. The Atlanta Hawks swingman is set for a big payday this summer and it could be for more than $15 million.
The New York Knicks have reportedly been a team looking to secure his services, Dallas Mavericks believe he could be a nice replacement if Chandler Parsons leaves and Bazemore has long said he wants to remain with the Hawks. Not to mention the New Orleans Pelicans really like the possibility of pairing him with Anthony Davis.
Those three teams are just a few in the long line of potential suitors for Baze.
From ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
