In less than two weeks an NBA free agency starts that promises to be moved to the Spanish, with several of them with their future to be resolved. This is the situation of the six players of our country today:
1
Will the Pelicans see reason?
Willy Hernangomez
Key summer for the eldest of the Hernangómez, it can even be said that it is ‘now or never’ in terms of being granted the role that he claims and deserves. The Pelicans have a franchise option on him for which they might renew him for a year and 2.5 milliona real bargain given his valuable efficiency with how little he plays7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1 assist in 12 minutes last year.
But Willy is not willing to continue wasting time, to continue wasting his best years. In a recent interview with MD, the center of 29 years He confessed that he liked everything regarding New Orleans but that he wants a more important role and so he transferred it to the Louisiana franchise. Having a good World Cup might further revalue the eldest of the Hernangómez, open to returning to Europe although with the idea of playing at least 1 or 2 more years in the best league in the world.
If they really want to take advantage of the Eurobasket MVP, the Pelicans will have to lighten their roster of centers, with up to four in rotation with Jonas Valanciunas, Larry Nance Jr, Jaxson Hayes and Willy himself. It seems that the best of him is yet to come.

“A Summer of Uncertainty”
Juancho Hernangómez
Total uncertainty with the forward, the Spaniard who would have a more difficult time continuing in the NBA right now. Cut off in February following a half season from more to less with the Toronto Raptors, The Hernangómez midfielder has been without a team ever since, turning down an offer from Real Madrid following the fourth, as reported by Cadena SER.
According to the information collected by MD, Juancho does not look badly on returning to Europe -offers, of course, will not be lacking-, but he prefers to wait and see if he gets an offer from the NBA. In May, the MVP of the Eurobasket final acknowledged in public that he was coming “a summer of uncertainty”.
Having a good World Cup between August and September might revalue the forward of 27 years facing the NBA if then he has not found a team. The last Eurobasket, with his impressive 7 triples and 27 points that earned him the MVP in the final, a good precedent.

It has a good poster to follow
Serge Ibaka
Like Juancho, the center has been without a team for the second half of the season without information linking him to anyone. Inside of 33 years was traded in February by the Milwaukee Bucks to the Indiana Pacers, who released him.
However, his experience, poster of a good defender with the ring 2019 in his prestigious resume -in addition to his status as a free agent-, they make him a ‘candy’ for any franchise.
Serge Ibaka assured in an interview with MD that he prioritizes continuing in the NBA because he still feels very good. The last bad experiences of him, with his back injury in the Clippers and the little confidence of Mike Budenholzer, They have not diminished his spirits and the Spanish-Congolese continues to train hard.

It should be unquestionable in the Cavaliers.
Ricky Rubio
Ricky Rubio feels that his time in the NBA is coming to an end, but he seems almost 100% sure that, of the two years left on his contract, one will be fulfilled.
to their 32 years, The point guard of the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot leave in this way from the best league in the world, without giving himself the opportunity to try to return to being that more differential player than ever before his serious injury. He did not have enough time last season following returning in January and the lack of rhythm condemned him to a residual role in the playoffs.
They pointed out in Cleveland following the elimination of the Cavs in the first round that Ricky was transferable, although the role of the player of The Masnou As a mentor to a youth group he remains undisputed, struggling to regain his impact on court.
The ex of the Joventut and the Barça goes to work hard this summer to reach the optimum physical point that still does not have. The World Cup might help him to do this and to recover the confidence of the dazzling player who is how he accredited with the 2019 World Cup MVP.
5
the most stable
Santi Aldama
The most established Spanish, by far, right now in the NBA. With last year’s leap in quality, the canary has shown that he deserves to be part of the present and the promising future of these Memphis Grizzlies, with 9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 22 minutes and 47% in field goals and 35% in triples. In addition to a versatility on both sides of the field that the figures never reach to appreciate that versatility.
A performance that, however, contrasts with a somewhat uncertain contractual situation for now. still low rookie contract, the Grizzlies activated their franchise option to retain him for the next campaign, with the last season of his current link also subject to a ‘club option’.
However, Aldama is up for a new and better contract following, not only his remarkable progression, but also of his perseverance and reliability, fundamental his balance on both sides of the track in the playoffs also in the decisive stretch of the season between injuries and the Ja Morant affair. He resigned from the national team last summer to prepare for the last year but aims to go to the World Cup. With his tactical wealth in the hands of Sergio Scariolo, You can go one step further.
6
To the taste of his new trainer
Usman Garuba
Usman Garuba is in the same contractual situation as Santi Aldama, with the Houston Rockets having exercised his franchise option on him for the next course and a last year of contract also subject to a ‘club option’. However, his situation is more insecure, showing the last season but from more to less and with a new coach in the Rockets, Making Udoka.
Even so, the fact that Udoka builds his teams from defense favors Azuqueca de Henares’ interior and his defensive versatility. An outstanding World Cup might restore him to prominence and confidence as he already did in the Eurobasket, impressing his previous coach, Stephen Silas.
