NBA Rumors: Ranking and predicting where the top 35 NBA free agents will sign
22. Donte DiVincenzo (player option)
With their attention squarely on Draymond Green and his free-agent process, the Golden State Warriors will likely have to let DiVincenzo walk in free agency. They won’t be able to afford the raise that he’s likely going to demand on the open market.
DiVincenzo is likely going to secure a big payday in free agency after declining his player option for next season with the Warriors. He has emerged as a quality role player that could help any playoff team looking for consistency off the bench. DiVincenzo is coming off a season in which he averaged nine points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 40 percent shooting from 3-point range.
Any team that is looking for toughness on the wing should look no further than DiVincenzo. One team that could make a lot of sense for him is the New York Knicks. New York will be looking for impactful players to add to their supporting cast after it let them down this past season in the playoffs against the Miami Heat.
DiVincenzo is a player that would make a lot of sense for the team off the bench. The big question is whether the Knicks are willing to pay DiVincenzo the money he’s likely going to demand on the open market.
Prediction: New York Knicks
