Free Agency Primer: Shooting Guards

Position Primers: PG | SF | PF | C

When the clock strikes midnight on July 1, more than 100 NBA players will become free agents, with teams scrambling to make splashy acquisitions and improve their outlook for the 2014-15 season.

On July 10, at the end of the league's "July Moratorium," unrestricted free agents can begin officially signing with teams and restricted free agents can begin signing offer sheets, while teams are free to begin trying to work out complicated sign-and-trade deals.

It's an exciting time of year, and a few weeks of chaos will go a long way in shaping the season to come. Here are a look at the available shooting guards who can hit free agency on July 1.
