Marc Gasol (2008-2020)

The Toronto Raptors made NBA history by dealing for Marc Gasol before the February deadline. Gasol was nearly as vital to Toronto’s defense against the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors, while Kawhi Leonard was rightfully named NBA Finals MVP. The 34-year-old begins the season on an expiring contract, and if the Raptors aren’t legally in contention for the championship after the holidays, Toronto would be wise to sell him during the winter.

LaMarcus Aldridge (2006-2020)

Coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs can use different lineups against different opponents, including featuring LaMarcus Aldridge alongside Jakob Poeltl. Although Aldridge is 34 years old, he has averaged 22.2 PPG and 8.9 REB for playoff teams over the last two seasons. The veteran enters the 2019-20 season needing to prove that he can help lead the Spurs past the conference’s top-tier teams, as San Antonio can release him in June.
