Dante Exum set for a return? Transfer overview: Zvezda and Partizan choose from 50 available NBA names

As is the case every year ahead of the new NBA campaign, franchises across the league have trimmed their rosters, waiving players who failed to secure a spot in the final 15-man squads.

While some will wait for another NBA opportunity or look towards destinations in Asia and Australia, the European market remains the most appealing option for a host of high-caliber players.

Among them are several marquee names that could attract EuroLeague powerhouses, including Serbian rivals Crvena Zvezda and Partizan, who are monitoring the market closely to strengthen their squads for the challenges ahead in both regional and European competitions.

For Serbian basketball fans, Dante Exum is undoubtedly the most intriguing name. Currently a free agent, any potential deal carries a degree of risk due to a serious knee injury, with his recovery expected to keep him sidelined until mid-November.

Alongside Exum, long-time Dallas center Dwight Powell is also on the market after a 12-year stint in Texas, while former No. 2 overall draft pick Victor Oladipo continues to explore a path back to the floor through Europe.

The pool of notable perimeter players includes Dalton Knecht following his surprise release by the Lakers, former Nikola Jokic teammate Gary Harris, and Bruce Brown, who is seeking a fresh start after his time in New York.

Also in the spotlight is Lonzo Ball, whose name has been increasingly mentioned regarding a potential move abroad, sharpshooting prospect John Poulakidas, who has drawn serious interest from Olympiacos, and John Konchar—a player of Serbian descent previously linked with Real Madrid.

Finally, forward Jeremy Sochan is another name being linked with Partizan as well as the Sacramento Kings.

Beyond the top headliners, the overseas free-agent pool is loaded with established NBA talent across every position.

Among the unsigned guards and playmakers are Walter Clayton, Gabe Vincent, Reggie Jackson, Delon Wright, Rob Dillingham, Terry Rozier, Killian Hayes, Sean Pedulla, Ochai Agbaji, Cam Thomas, Pat Connaughton, Vince Williams Jr., Kobe Bufkin, Jalen Adaway, Seth Curry, and veteran Eric Gordon.

At the forward spots, available options include Haywood Highsmith, KJ Martin, Justin Holiday, Reggie Bullock, Alec Burks, Danuel House, Justise Winslow, Kevin Love, Maxi Kleber, Jeff Green, Chris Boucher, Markieff and Marcus Morris, JaMychal Green, Thaddeus Young, and Montrezl Harrell.

The center market features the likes of Drew Eubanks, Christian Wood, Mason Plumlee, Bismack Biyombo, Dewayne Dedmon, and Keba Keita.
