Trade Value Rankings 7.0: The Top shooting guards in the NBA
POINT GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS
POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
Devin Booker (Phoenix)
Guaranteed money left: $260,240,200 till 2027-28
Agent: Jessica Holtz and Melvin Booker
Devin Booker may be the purest scorer in the NBA after having some historical shooting games in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how far he, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal can take the Suns’ offense.
Anthony Edwards (Minnesota)
Guaranteed money left: $13,534,817 till 2023-24
Agent: Omar Wilkes
Anthony Edwards could soon crack the Top 10 of this ranking with his current trajectory. He will likely extend this summer for a maximum contract worth over $200 million over five years.
Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland)
Guaranteed money left: $105,668,960 till 2025-26
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown
Mitchell had his best scoring season and by far his most efficient shooting the ball. The early returns for the Cavaliers giving up so much to acquire Mitchell are looking good.
Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia)
Guaranteed money left: $4,343,920 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Tyrese Maxey is a major part of the Sixers’ future and present with or without James Harden. He should be set to receive a lucrative contract extension this summer.
Mikal Bridges (Brooklyn)
Guaranteed money left: $69,900,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Sam Goldfeder, Jordan Gertler, Jeff Schwartz
Mikal Bridges has seen his overall value skyrocket after being traded to Brooklyn. The higher usage and great opportunity showed how underutilized he’s been as an offensive focal point.
Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana)
Guaranteed money left: $6,916,080 till 2023-24
Agent: Nima Namakian
Bennedict Mathurin couldn’t keep up the hot scoring start he had to his rookie year but his shooting potential is obvious. He should climb these rankings if he becomes a starter and becomes more consistent.
Desmond Bane (Memphis)
Guaranteed money left: $3,845,083 till 2023-24
Agent: Jim Tanner
Desmond Bane has been one of he league’s best bargains playing at an All-Star level on a low salary. He is now due for a lucrative raise as he’s extension-eligible this summer.
DeMar DeRozan (Chicago)
Guaranteed money left: $28,600,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Aaron Goodwin
DeRozan continues to hold up as he enters the later stages of his career. He could be a trade candidate if the Bulls choose to take a step back and capitalize on his high level of play.
Tyler Herro (Miami)
Guaranteed money left: $120,000,000 till 2026-27
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Mike Lindeman
Tyler Herro is set to begin the first year of his $120 million extension. We could find out how valuable his trade value is if the Heat are able to successfully trade for a star like Damian Lillard with Herro as the centerpiece of a deal.
Zach LaVine (Chicago)
Guaranteed money left: $178,063,200 till 2026-27
Agent: Rich Paul
Zach LaVine fell in these rankings after having a down season. His value could continue to decline now that the new CBA makes his maximum contract look unfavorable in the new second tax apron system.
Dejounte Murray (Atlanta)
Guaranteed money left: $18,214,000 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Paul
Dejounte Murray has not made the impact the Hawks were hoping for when they traded three first-round picks for him. He seems likely to stick around now after the Hawks successfully got under the luxury tax by trading John Collins.
Jalen Williams (Oklahoma City)
Guaranteed money left: $4,558,680 till 2023-24
Agent: Bill Duffy and Justin Haynes
Jalen Williams made the biggest leap in these rankings after being outside the Top 100 last season. He will be a major building block for the Thunder and play a huge role in helping them make a playoff push next year.
Shaedon Sharpe (Portland)
Guaranteed money left: $6,313,800 till 2023-24
Agent: Mike George
Shaedon Sharpe continues to have high trade value sole based on his high potential. He should further climb these rankings if he’s able to put together a consistent stretch of strong basketball.
Bradley Beal (Phoenix)
Guaranteed money left: $207,740,400 till 2025-26
Agent: Reggie Brown and Mark Bartelstein
Bradley Beal’s trade value was extremely limited by his maximum contract and a no-trade clause. The Wizards still managed to get five second-round picks and four first-round pick swaps from Phoenix for him.
Jalen Green (Houston)
Guaranteed money left: $9,891,480 till 2023-24
Agent: Aaron Mintz and Andrew Morrison
Jalen Green may not have had quite the rookie season some in his class had, but he’s had one of the bigger sophomores rises. His explosiveness, ability to get to the rim, and scoring off the dribble make him one of the league’s most tantalizing offensive prospects.
Jaden Ivey (Detroit)
Guaranteed money left: $7,614,480 till 2023-24
Agent: Austin Brown and Maxwell Saidman
The Pistons lucked into getting exactly the type of player they needed in Jaden Ivey. It will be fascinating to see where he ranks over the next few seasons.
Anfernee Simons (Portland)
Guaranteed money left: $77,678,571 till 2025-26
Agent: Bill Duffy
Anfernee Simons has reportedly been a part of Portland’s trade offers along with the third overall pick for an All-Star. He might get traded anyways considering their logjam in the backcourt.
Ausar Thompson (Detroit)
Guaranteed money left: $16,350,840 till 2024-25
Agent: Troy Thompson
The Pistons shopped the 5th overall selection ahead of the draft. Instead, they selected Ausar Thompson with the hope he can be one of their future cornerstones.
Devin Vassell (San Antonio)
Guaranteed money left: $5,887,899 till 2023-24
Agent: Rich Beda, Andrew Morrison, and Mitch Nathan
Devin Vassell emerged as one of the Spurs’ building blocks toward their next great team. He will be eligible to sign a lucrative rookie-scale extension this summer.
Immanuel Quickley (New York)
Guaranteed money left: $4,171,548 till 2023-24
Agent: Raymond Brothers and Sam Permut
Immanuel Quickley ascended to being one of the best defensive guards and almost won Sixth Man of the Year. His strong play could secure him a big extension with the Knicks this summer.
Derrick White (Boston)
Guaranteed money left: $37,928,572 till 2024-25
Agent: Mike Lindeman and Jared Mucha
Derrick White has been so valuable for the Celtics that it made Marcus Smart expendable. He will now have a bigger role on their team going forward.
Kevin Huerter (Sacramento)
Guaranteed money left: $50,491,071 till 2025-26
Agent: Andy Shiffman and Mark Bartelstein
Kevin Huerter has brought some much-needed shooting to this Kings team. He played a vital role in Sacramento’s near playoff victory over the Warriors.
Jordan Poole (Washington)
Guaranteed money left: $125,000,000 till 2025-26
Agent: Andrew Morrison and Austin Brown
Jordan Poole’s value cratered the second he signed his four-year, $123 million contract. The Warriors had to attach a future first-round pick and multiple young players to get off him.
CJ McCollum (New Orleans)
Guaranteed money left: $99,802,468 till 2025-26
Agent: Sam Goldfeder and Jeff Schwartz
CJ McCollum was acquired at a very low price the Pelicans couldn’t refuse. Now the additional years added to his contract makes him cumbersome for other teams to potentially take on.
Jalen Suggs (Orlando)
Guaranteed money left: $7,252,080 till 2023-24
Agent: Darren ‘Mats’ Matsubara and Jason Ranne
Jalen Suggs could be on the move after the Magic drafted Anthony Black. They have a logjam at point guard featuring both guards, Markelle Fultz, and Cole Anthony.
Terry Rozier (Charlotte)
Guaranteed money left: $48,129,347 till 2025-26
Agent: Aaron Turner
Terry Rozier remains a great scoring guard who could provide a boost to many contending teams. He could find himself a new home by next week if the Hornets become sellers this offseason.
