Michael Finley’s arrival on the free agent market Tuesday had an impact on Latrell Sprewell, whose agent said he’ll wait at least a week before signing in Detroit, Houston or elsewhere.

The Mavericks’ decision to waive Finley late Monday night changed the complexion of the free agent market, throwing a two-time All-Star into the mix at a time when the majority of NBA teams have already made most of their major offseason moves.

The Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets are among the teams who been holding onto their midlevel salary cap exceptions, and each will have interest in Finley after he clears waivers.

‘‘I don’t think much else is going to happen around the league until Finley signs and the Joe Johnson trade situation is resolved,’’ said agent Dan Fegan, whose client, Earl Watson, is one of a few remaining unrestricted free agents whose futures will remain on hold until the marquee players above them find new homes.

That list begins with Finley, whose agent said eight or nine teams contacted him Tuesday.

‘‘He’s in the process of narrowing it down and focusing on what teams he’d like to go to,’’ agent Henry Thomas said. ‘‘He’s most interested in going to a situation where he has a chance to win a championship.’’

A few of those suitors who still have their full mid-level salary cap exception can offer a five-year deal with a starting salary of $5 million. The Suns and Spurs have interest, too, but Phoenix could only offer the veteran’s minimum, and San Antonio has only a portion of its midlevel exception remaining.

The Suns are also still awaiting a resolution of their pending trade of Johnson to Atlanta, which is being held up by a dispute among Hawks ownership that could be resolved by the weekend.

‘‘(Money) will be looked at along with other factors, and ultimately Michael will have to prioritize,’’ Thomas said.
