It is applicable to any player who has his deal ending. He can then sign with any team he wishes. He has no obligation to his current team once he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
- Example:
1. LeBron James at the end of his 2018 deal becomes an unrestricted free agent, free to join any team he wishes. This is similar to when he joined the Heat from the Cavaliers and then re signed with the Cavaliers from the Heat.
2. DeMarcus Cousins at the end of his 2018 deal becomes an unrestricted free agent, free to leave the New Orleans Pelicans.
