Allen Crabbe is expected to receive interest in free agency from the Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings.
The Portland Trail Blazers own Crabbe's matching rights and they are interested in re-signing him.
Crabbe was the 31st overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft out of Cal.
Crabbe had a breakout 15-16 season, scoring 14.2 points per 36 minutes with a True Shooting Percentage of .572 in 26.0 minutes per game.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings have interest in signing Dion Waiters.
Waiters will be a restricted free agent this offseason with the Oklahoma City Thunder holding matching rights. The Thunder acquired Victor Oladipo on draft night, which complicates the potential for his return.

The Sacramento Kings have traded Marquese Chriss, selected with the eighth overall pick, to the Phoenix Suns.
Sacramento will acquire the 13th overall pick, 28th overall pick, a 2020 second rounder and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The Suns have had a need for an athletic power forward.
Phoenix selected Dragan Bender earlier in the draft with the third overall pick.
Both Bender and Chriss are good shooters and they should be able to play with each other at center and power forward.
The Sacramento Kings have been active in trade talks this week and the one player they're focused on acquiring is D'Angelo Russell.
Russell went second overall in last year's draft to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Last June, the Lakers and Kings held talks centered around DeMarcus Cousins with the second overall pick involved.
The Indiana Pacers were in serious talks with the Sacramento Kings for Rudy Gay before they acquired Thaddeus Young.
The Kings' asking price was too high for the Pacers and they pivoted towards Young.
Sacramento continues to shop Gay in trade talks.
The Charlotte Hornets will acquire to acquire Marco Belinelli from the Sacramento Kings for the 22nd overall pick.
The deal can't be completed until after July 1st but the Hornets will select a player at 22 on behalf of the Kings.
The Hornets were believed to be shopping the pick earlier in the day to create cap space. Charlotte has a number of free agents including Courtney Lee.
The Kings signed Belinelli last offseason to a three-year, $19 million deal.
The Sacramento Kings have received offers of multiple future first round picks in exchange for the eighth overall selection.
The Kings have future pick obligations due to previous trades with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011 and the Philadelphia 76ers last offseason.
The Kings are trying to get into the playoffs as they open up their new arena.
Caron Butler has exercised his $1.5 million player option for the 16-17 season with the Sacramento Kings.
The Kings attempted to trade away Butler midseason with the Milwaukee Bucks considered the most likely option at the time.
Butler was the 10th overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft out of UConn.
Butler played in only 176 total minutes with the Kings last season.
Rajon Rondo was critical of his experience with the Sacramento Kings.
Rondo will be a free agent again this offseason after signing with the Kings in 2015.
"There were too many distractions on and off the court. The organization as a whole, I don't think was together completely. I think as a team you have to want the best for the next man beside you, and that wasn't the case with the Sacramento Kings," he said.
Of DeMarcus Cousins' relationship with George Karl and his staff, Rondo said there was "a lot of tension at first."
"Too much tension. I've never witnessed or experienced a thing like that in my 10-year career," he said.
Rondo said he would "love to continue to play with" Cousins, but for that to happen, he and the Kings need to "come together and figure out if we can work, but if not, I'm always in, I'm open. I'm open this summer and I look forward to having a great career."
As for his free-agent options this summer, Rondo said, "I want to see myself in a situation where guys want to grow, guys want to get better. I don't want to be the hardest-working guy in the gym."
