波士顿凯尔特人
在将 朱·霍勒迪 交易至 波特兰 和 克里斯塔普斯·波尔津吉斯 交易至 亚特兰大 后， 波士顿 队为下赛季节省了超过2亿美元的薪资和奢侈税总和，球队在未来赛季中处于更有利的位置，尽管 杰森·塔图姆 (Jayson Tatum) 可能因在季后赛中左跟腱撕裂接受手术而缺席。
尽管 杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown) 和 德里克·怀特 (Derrick White) 理论上可能步 霍勒迪 和 波尔津吉斯 后尘离开球队，但凯尔特人队需要收到一份非常重大的报价才会考虑这种可能性。
波士顿 队进入自由球员市场的主要问题围绕着 阿尔·霍福德 (Al Horford) 和 卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的未来，预计他们将在联盟中受到广泛关注。—— 蒂姆·邦滕普斯 (Tim Bontemps)
布鲁克林篮网
上周选秀大会上， 布鲁克林 队以创纪录的五个首轮选秀权，证明他们正开启一场青年化改革。 篮网 队上赛季开局远超预期，到12月中旬时胜率仍接近50%，但最终还是错失了获得前排高顺位选秀权的机会。他们似乎下定决心要确保这种情况不再发生。
考虑到这一点，如果 篮网 队交易掉球队中交易价值最高的球员 卡梅隆·约翰逊 (Cameron Johnson) ，没有人会感到惊讶。
篮网 队拥有全NBA最多的薪金空间，因此预计他们将与市场上更受欢迎的受限制自由球员进行接触，例如22岁的 勇士 队前锋 乔纳森·库明加 (Jonathan Kuminga) 和25岁的 费城 队球员 昆汀·格莱姆斯 (Quentin Grimes) 。（ 布鲁克林 队还将努力留下自己23岁的受限制自由球员 坎·托马斯 (Cam Thomas) ，他上赛季以场均24分领跑全队得分榜。）
但也要留意 布鲁克林 队是否会表示愿意接收其他球队想要甩掉的合同。 篮网 队目前有能力吸纳这些薪资，同时还能获得选秀权。—— 克里斯·赫林 (Chris Herring)
芝加哥公牛
尽管过去两个赛季都以39胜43负的相同战绩收尾，但 公牛 队预计将保持现有方针，围绕年轻球员进行重组，而不是通过摆烂来跌至排名垫底。
ESPN消息人士透露， 芝加哥 队的首要任务是与受限制自由球员 约什·吉迪 (Josh Giddey) 重新签约，预计他将寻求一份年薪接近3000万美元的合同。球队通过球员互换交易获得 吉迪 ，而未附带任何额外选秀补偿，这与上周球队将27岁的 朗佐·鲍尔 (Lonzo Ball) 交易至 克利夫兰 换回24岁的 艾萨克·奥科罗 (Isaac Okoro) 的交易非常相似。
以下是总经理 马克·埃弗斯利 (Marc Eversley) 在选秀大会后所说的话：
“我们需要在球队建设上保持勤勉和务实。我们不想跳过任何步骤。一旦你跳过步骤，期望值就会升高，然后你就会犯错。我认为我们不希望那样做。”
这听起来理论上不错，但对于多年来一直徘徊在中游的 芝加哥 队来说，问题是这些运作究竟能带来怎样的结果。—— 贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier)
克利夫兰骑士
随着为 多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell) 和 埃文·莫布利 (Evan Mobley) 这两位 骑士 队非常乐意支付薪水、入选年度最佳阵容的球员签订的巨额续约合同即将生效， 克利夫兰 队的薪资已经飙升至第二土豪线。
但这使得 骑士 队留住关键的非受限制自由球员替补 泰·杰罗姆 (Ty Jerome) （他在最佳第六人投票中排名第三）和 山姆·梅里尔 (Sam Merrill) （他重新签下了一份四年3800万美元的合同）变得充满挑战。
上周末， 骑士 队达成交易，将侧翼球员 艾萨克·奥科罗 交易至 朗佐·鲍尔 。 鲍尔 上赛季因手腕受伤只打了35场比赛，但他出场时，作为一名持球手和组织者，证明了自己是一名高效的第三控卫。他的身材比 杰罗姆 更好，防守也更出色，而且合同也令人满意：本赛季1000万美元，外加2026-27赛季的1000万美元球队选项。 奥科罗 未来两年约有2300万美元的受保障薪水。
杰罗姆 是那些拥有大部分1400万美元中产特例可用的球队的潜在目标， 骑士 队担心他们可能无法匹配这个数字。交易掉上赛季出场时间不稳定的 奥科罗 ，为2024年首轮新秀 杰伦·泰森 (Jaylon Tyson) 腾出了出场时间， 泰森 去年是边缘球员，并受到了一些伤病困扰。
尽管很难指望次轮秀在短期内有所作为，但 骑士 队上周选择 杜克 大学的 泰瑞斯·普罗克特 (Tyrese Proctor) ，这表明他们在自由球员市场之后可能需要补充一些后卫深度。—— 布莱恩·温德霍斯特 (Brian Windhorst)
达拉斯独行侠
凯里·欧文 (Kyrie Irving) 接受了一份三年1.19亿美元的合同——在本赛季放弃其4300万美元的球员选项后，他接受了降薪——这使得 独行侠 队能够继续使用570万美元的纳税人中产特例。
这个特例的计划是签下一名可以在 欧文 左膝前交叉韧带撕裂恢复期间首发的控球后卫，并在这位九届全明星回归后，过渡到关键替补角色。
消息人士称，候选人包括 丹吉洛·拉塞尔 (D’Angelo Russell) 、 马尔科姆·布罗格登 (Malcolm Brogdon) 、 克里斯·保罗 (Chris Paul) 和 泰厄斯·琼斯 (Tyus Jones) 。（ 独行侠 队曾对 丹尼斯·施罗德 (Dennis Schroder) 感兴趣，但他预计会寻求一份明显更高的薪水。）
“很多球员都想来 达拉斯 打球，所以我认为我们可以根据我们所拥有的薪资和机会来做出选择，” 独行侠 队总经理 尼科·哈里森 (Nico Harrison) 在周四选秀大会首轮结束后说道。“显然，我们做出选择会有限制，但我想如果薪水方面都能匹配，我们将能选择我们想要的球员。对此我非常有信心。”*—— 蒂姆·麦克马洪 (Tim MacMahon)*
丹佛掘金
在 拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克 (Russell Westbrook) 经历了一个跌宕起伏的丹佛赛季后，他放弃了合同的第二年球员选项， 掘金 队会尝试在轮换阵容中找到替代者吗？
这还有待观察，因为 丹佛 队拥有570万美元的纳税人中产特例，但正面临累犯奢侈税的困境。
掘金 队重组后的管理层拥有独特的双重决策者结构，包括篮球运营执行副总裁 本·滕泽尔 (Ben Tenzer) 和球员人事执行副总裁 乔恩·华莱士 (Jon Wallace) ，他们需要确定愿意在多大程度上依赖未经证明的年轻人才。这包括后卫 贾伦·皮克特 (Jalen Pickett) ，他在前两年表现零星，但在上赛季后期展现出一些潜力。
“最简单的发展方式就是时间，” 华莱士 说。“在过去几年里，他们获得了更多经验，并在真正的比赛和真实的情境中打球。我们对他们充满信心。”*—— 麦克马洪*
金州勇士
正如预期， 勇士 队周六向 乔纳森·库明加 提出了一份一年期790万美元的资质报价，使其成为一名受限制自由球员。
由于 篮网 队是唯一能够提供2000万美元或更高起薪的球队， 金州 队将观望 库明加 的市场行情。 勇士 队拥有匹配报价的权利，也可以探索先签后换的选择。如果没有达成协议，他们可以留下 库明加 ——并观察他如何继续与 斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 、 吉米·巴特勒三世 (Jimmy Butler III) 和 德雷蒙德·格林 (Draymond Green) 一同发展——如果他们愿意，下赛季也可以选择探索交易方案。
勇士 队在阵容各方面都需要补强，主要优先事项是中锋位置、更多投射能力以及经验丰富的3D型侧翼。像 布鲁克·洛佩斯 (Brook Lopez) 、 尼基尔·亚历山大-沃克 (Nickeil Alexander-Walker) 、 布鲁斯·布朗 (Bruce Brown) 和 马尔科姆·布罗格登 这样的老将自由球员可以帮助到 库里 和 巴特勒 。
总经理 小迈克·邓利维 (Mike Dunleavy Jr.) 表示，在7月可能非常活跃的交易市场中， 勇士 队将“参与其中”。但 邓利维 可能必须先等待 库明加 的情况确定。—— 欧姆·杨米苏克 (Ohm Youngmisuk)
休斯顿火箭
火箭 队原本希望找到一名本土培养的球员作为下赛季的进攻核心。但球队在首轮被 金州 队淘汰，提供了充分的证据表明 火箭 队需要从外部寻找这样的球员。
因此， 休斯顿 队交易得到了NBA最伟大的得分手之一 凯文·杜兰特 ，为此他们主要付出了次轮选秀权。但在这次交易中，他们将两名首发球员 狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 和 杰伦·格林 (Jalen Green) 送往 菲尼克斯 ，同时还送出了今年的第10号签 卡曼·马卢奇 (Khaman Maluach) 。
休斯顿 队总经理 拉斐尔·斯通 (Rafael Stone) 手中仍握有完整的中产特例，因此 火箭 队很有可能通过自由球员市场补充在 杜兰特 交易中失去的阵容深度，并依靠球员发展来推动包括 阿门·汤普森 (Amen Thompson) 、 里德·谢泼德 (Reed Sheppard) 和 阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun) 在内的一些年轻球员迈向新台阶。
火箭 队早早地完成了续约工作，留下了 弗雷德·范弗利特 (Fred VanVleet) 、 杰肖恩·泰特 (Jae’Sean Tate) 、 亚伦·霍勒迪 (Aaron Holiday) 和 杰夫·格林 (Jeff Green) 。
在续约了 小贾巴里·史密斯 (Jabari Smith Jr.) 之后，他们的下一个任务是与 塔里·伊森 (Tari Eason) 达成同样协议，并可能在自由球员市场增添一名3D型侧翼。—— 迈克尔·C·赖特 (Michael C. Wright)
印第安纳步行者
步行者 队数月来一直在为续约球队中锋 迈尔斯·特纳 (Myles Turner) 做准备。是的，这是因为他已经在球队效力了十年，仍处于巅峰期，并提供了护筐者和空间型内线的宝贵结合。但这也是因为 印第安纳 队无法找到替代他的人。
问题是这会花费多少，考虑到 纳兹·里德 刚刚以一份五年1.25亿美元的合同重塑了中锋市场。 步行者 队已有20年未缴纳奢侈税，如果他们在下赛季支付 特纳 薪水，将面临这笔开销，而下赛季他们很可能将失去 泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿 (Tyrese Haliburton) ，他正在从NBA总决赛中受伤的右跟腱撕裂中恢复。
特纳 将获得续约。但保留 印第安纳 队其他阵容深度，包括符合续约资格的超级替补 本内迪克特·马图林 (Bennedict Mathurin) ，则是一个更大的问题。竞争对手球队也在关注他们是否会有节省成本的举动。—— 温德霍斯特
洛杉矶快船
快船 队周日完成了他们的首要任务，与 詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 达成了一份新合同。ESPN的 沙姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 透露，哈登放弃了下赛季3630万美元的球员选项，以换取一份两年8150万美元的新合同。消息人士称， 哈登 合同的第二年包含球员选项，并且是部分受保障的。
这份协议为 哈登 带来了加薪，此前他入选了年度最佳阵容三阵，并帮助 快船 队赢得了50场比赛，尽管 科怀·莱昂纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 缺席了赛季前两个多月。这也使得 快船 队能够保持当前和未来的财政灵活性，并获得1410万美元的非纳税人中产特例。
通过签下 哈登 ，他们也将两名球星的合同期限保持在相似的时间线上， 莱昂纳德 的合同还有两年。他们仍然需要另一名组织者来帮助 哈登 ，一名替补内线，并增加更多双向侧翼球员来巩固本已强大的防守。 诺曼·鲍威尔 (Norman Powell) 也符合续约资格。—— 杨米苏克
洛杉矶湖人
勒布朗·詹姆斯 周日执行了他与 湖人 队5260万美元的合同，而 多里安·芬尼-史密斯 (Dorian Finney-Smith) 则放弃了他1540万美元的合同。
这两个决定都不能保证球员下赛季是否会留在球队。
詹姆斯 的经纪人，Klutch Sports的首席执行官 里奇·保罗 (Rich Paul) 告诉ESPN的 沙姆斯·查拉尼亚 ：“我们希望评估 勒布朗 在人生和职业生涯这个阶段最适合什么……他希望让剩下的每一个赛季都发挥价值。”他还表示， 詹姆斯 将密切关注 洛杉矶 队在休赛期如何提升球队。
至于 芬尼-史密斯 ，消息人士告诉ESPN，32岁的他刚接受左脚踝手术，目前的优先事项是找到一份多年合同——无论是在 洛杉矶 还是其他地方。如果 芬尼-史密斯 在自由球员市场离队， 湖人 队将拥有完整的中产特例，可以利用这1410万美元来签下一名中锋或拆分用于签下多名球员。—— 麦克梅纳明 (McMenamin)
明尼苏达森林狼
森林狼 队有三名重要的自由球员，但在第二土豪线之下只剩下签约两人的空间。数月来他们都清楚这个现实，并希望能够应对，但他们也知道情况很可能会是这样。
纳兹·里德 是一个球队成功的典范，从一名落选新秀成长为最佳第六人，并成为连续两年闯入西部决赛球队的核心成员。这就是为什么 森林狼 队通过一份五年1.25亿美元的新合同，将他留在自由球员市场之外。
这只剩下 朱利叶斯·兰德尔 和 尼基尔·亚历山大-沃克 。在季后赛表现强劲后， 兰德尔 成为首要目标， 森林狼 队得以达成一份三年1亿美元的合同，避免他进入自由球员市场。
这使得他们没有足够的空间来留下连续两个赛季表现出色的 亚历山大-沃克 。他们可能会寻找交易来释放一些薪资，但更可能的是，NAW在自由球员市场开启后不久将加盟一支新球队。—— 温德霍斯特
孟菲斯灰熊
灰熊 队总经理 扎克·克莱曼 (Zach Kleiman) 值得称赞，他坦诚评估了 孟菲斯 队在竞争激烈的西部所处的位置，然后将球队支柱 德斯蒙德·贝恩 (Desmond Bane) 交易到 奥兰多 ，换来了 肯塔维厄斯·考德威尔-波普 (Kentavius Caldwell-Pope) 、 科尔·安东尼 (Cole Anthony) 、四个无保护首轮选秀权和一个首轮选秀权互换。 克莱曼 表示，这笔重磅交易代表着一次重建和“采取不同途径”来打造一支有竞争力阵容的承诺。
这样做包括围绕明星后卫 贾·莫兰特 (Ja Morant) 和即将获得续约的大个子 小贾伦·杰克逊 (Jaren Jackson Jr.) 进行重组。预计 孟菲斯 队将寻求创造薪金空间，以便与 杰克逊 重新谈判并最终续约，这使得 约翰·康查尔 (John Konchar) 等替补球员成为潜在的交易候选人。 桑蒂·阿尔达马 (Santi Aldama) 是一名受限制自由球员，刚刚度过一个生涯最佳赛季， 孟菲斯 队希望能将他带回。
球队的2025年选秀班底预示着他们将转向更强调身体对抗和防守的球队身份。因此，在关注一支将被第一土豪线硬工资帽限制的球队的潜在自由球员引援时，请记住这一点。—— 赖特
密尔沃基雄鹿
所有目光都聚焦在 雄鹿 队身上，看他们如何围绕 扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 重建球队。
目前，球队的标志性人物尚未提出交易请求，但球队仍面临巨大压力，需要思考如何在 达米安·利拉德 (Damian Lillard) 可能缺席2025-26赛季大部分甚至全部比赛的情况下，度过这个“过渡年”。
密尔沃基 队上赛季在 利拉德 受伤后，在赛季末期取得了一些成功，进攻主要通过 阿德托昆博 展开，他本人也表达了打组织前锋的兴趣，利用他提升的传球和组织进攻能力来承担更多的进攻重任。
雄鹿 队喜欢非受限制自由球员后卫 小凯文·波特 (Kevin Porter Jr.) 如何融入这个体系，并希望带回他以及他们的常年最佳第六人候选人 鲍比·波蒂斯 (Bobby Portis) 。
但随着自由球员市场的开启， 雄鹿 队能否在下赛季相对疲软的东部联盟中，为成功做好充分准备——以及他们将如何做到——是联盟中最引人入胜的问题之一。—— 科利尔
纽约尼克斯
尼克斯 队拥有NBA最头重脚轻的阵容之一，他们需要增加一些阵容深度，这已不是秘密。但他们在组建阵容的方式上受到限制，只有570万美元的中产特例可以提供，而其余空缺位置则需要通过老将底薪合同来填补。
尽管如此，预计他们仍会积极尝试利用中产特例签下像 卢克·肯纳德 (Luke Kennard) 这样的自由球员，尽管这位神射手可能会找到更丰厚的报价。 丹尼斯·施罗德 的情况可能也类似。自由球员 阿尔·霍福德 和 卢克·科内特 也应该会引起他们的兴趣，尽管 凯尔特人 队或许能够腾出薪资来留下他们中的一个或两个。
纽约 队可以采取的另一条途径是交易掉其中一名首发球员。 尼克斯 队去年夏天通过交易得到的 米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 和 卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 都符合续约资格。没错，球队刚刚结束了二十五年来最深入的季后赛征程。
但在看到首发五虎在赛季后半段得分被对手压制——以及在 汤姆·锡伯杜 (Tom Thibodeau) 在续约不到一年后就失去主教练职位之后——今年10月首发阵容是否会保持不变，这绝非一个板上钉钉的结论。—— 赫林
俄克拉荷马城雷霆
雷霆 队去年夏天在自由球员市场上做出了大胆尝试，他们签下了中锋 赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) ，签下了一份三年8700万美元的合同，这一举动帮助 俄克拉荷马城 带来了总冠军游行。这是队史最重要的自由球员引进，也可能是 俄克拉荷马城 队未来一段时间内最后一次在自由球员市场上的大手笔。
雷霆 队今夏的优先事项预计是对其核心球员做出长期承诺。MVP 萨博尼斯·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 今年夏天有资格签下一份四年2.93亿美元的超级顶薪续约合同，或者他也可以等到2026年休赛期再寻求一份更大的合同（五年3.8亿美元）。
入选年度最佳阵容的前锋 杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 以及未来可能成为全明星的大前锋/中锋 切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 都有资格签下为期五年、价值高达2.47亿美元的新秀合同续约，并附带可能将总价值提升至2.96亿美元的超级顶薪附加条款。 —— 麦克马洪
费城76人
随着 费城 队在周三NBA选秀大会上以探花签选中 VJ·埃奇科姆 (VJ Edgecombe) ， 76人 队进入休赛期，面临着两项主要任务。
第一项任务是他们能否留下非受限制自由球员前锋 盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) ，他曾是2016年 凯尔特人 队的首轮秀，上赛季重返NBA。 76人 队所能提供给他的合同受限于纳税人中产特例，金额低于600万美元，目前尚不清楚这是否足够留下他。
另一项任务是受限制自由球员 昆汀·格莱姆斯 的去留，他在与 达拉斯 队的交易截止日交易中来到 费城 后，场均贡献近22分。尽管薪金空间有限，但 76人 队很可能会达成一份协议——或者匹配报价——以在下赛季继续保留 格莱姆斯 的服务。 —— 邦滕普斯
菲尼克斯太阳
菲尼克斯 队在过去一周已经彻底改变了球队，先是将 凯文·杜兰特 交易到 休斯顿火箭 队，换来了 杰伦·格林 和 狄龙·布鲁克斯 ；随后在选秀之夜，球队在首轮选中了 杜克 大学中锋 卡曼·马卢奇 ，又在次轮补充了 拉希尔·弗莱明 (Rasheer Fleming) 和 科比·布雷亚 (Koby Brea) ，并从 夏洛特黄蜂 队交易得到了中锋 马克·威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams) 。
新任总经理 布莱恩·格雷戈里 (Brian Gregory) 需要继续补强阵容，当下最需要的是控球后卫。 泰厄斯·琼斯 和 科林·吉莱斯皮 (Collin Gillespie) 都是自由球员。
除非球队能够说服 布拉德利·比尔 (Bradley Beal) 放弃他的交易否决权，并找到愿意接手他5370万美元薪水的球队，否则 太阳 队今夏的大部分运作都已经完成。 —— 麦克梅纳明
圣安东尼奥马刺
圣安东尼奥 队在追求 凯文·杜兰特 的过程中保持了克制，预计球队在自由球员市场也会采取类似策略，尽管 马刺 队处于极佳位置来签下一名全明星级别的球员。
圣安东尼奥 队目前薪资低于奢侈税线2700万美元，拥有多种操作方向的灵活性。但预计总经理 布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 和 马刺 队将采取谨慎的方法，因为管理层希望在进行大动作补强之前，先观察所有正在成长的年轻人才如何围绕 文班亚马 进行融合。
考虑到替补中锋 查尔斯·巴锡 (Charles Bassey) 过去两个赛季都因伤未能打满， 圣安东尼奥 队可以在后场、射手以及替补内线方面进行补强。球队今夏的主要重点将是续约 达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) ，他有资格在八月签下一份四年2.29亿美元的续约合同。
除此之外，预计 马刺 队将尝试在边缘位置进行补强，例如引进像 卢克·肯纳德 或 泰·杰罗姆 这样的三分射手，以及像 盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 这样潜在的前场贡献者，他曾与 文班亚马 一同效力于法国国家队。—— 赖特
犹他爵士
不要被新任篮球运营总裁 奥斯汀·安吉 (Austin Ainge) 关于 爵士 队本赛季不会再次摆烂的声明所迷惑。本休赛期 犹他 队在阵容构建上的首要任务不会是立即赢球。
爵士 队已经是NBA最年轻的球队之一，随着首轮选中18岁的 埃斯·贝利 (Ace Bailey) 和22岁的 小沃尔特·克莱顿 (Walter Clayton Jr.) ，他们变得更加年轻。阵容中已经有九名23岁或更年轻的球员，其中包括两位被视为培养对象的乐透签前锋 科迪·威廉姆斯 (Cody Williams) 和 泰勒·亨德里克斯 (Taylor Hendricks) 。
球员发展仍将是优先事项，这使得 爵士 队明年很有可能再次获得高顺位乐透签，届时他们欠 俄克拉荷马城 的选秀权是前八顺位保护的。
爵士 队是一支值得关注的、将在交易市场上甩卖球员的球队。老将 约翰·科林斯 (John Collins) 和 乔丹·克拉克森 (Jordan Clarkson) （仍然）可以被交易，而且他们都处于到期合同。在重建的这个阶段， 爵士 队在自由球员市场上采取积极行动没有意义。—— 麦克马洪

NBA free agency 2025 - What we’re hearing about the Lakers, Knicks and 18 other NBA teams
It’s the most exciting time of the NBA year! With the 2025 draft in the rearview mirror, all 30 teams are feverishly working their whiteboards behind the scenes.
Who’s on the move? Who’s staying put? We’ve already seen two major trades from the 2024 Boston Celtics championship team, with All-Star Jrue Holiday heading west to the Portland Trail Blazers and Kristaps Porzingis going south to the Atlanta Hawks.
We’ve seen LeBron James’ plan to opt in to his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers for 2025-26, with James also saying he is closely monitoring the team’s moves this offseason. Kevin Durant is now on the Houston Rockets. The Wolves are finalizing deals with two of their free agents in Naz Reid and Julius Randle.
Rumors continue to swirl. Here’s what our insiders are hearing about 20 teams across the league.

Boston Celtics
After clearing more than $200 million in combined payroll and luxury taxes for next season with the trades of Jrue Holiday to Portland and Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta, Boston has put itself in a more tenable position ahead of a season in which Jayson Tatum likely will be sidelined following surgery to repair a torn left Achilles tendon sustained in the playoffs.
While Jaylen Brown and Derrick White could theoretically follow Holiday and Porzingis out of town, it would take a very significant offer for the Celtics to even consider the possibility.
The main questions surrounding Boston entering free agency revolve around the futures of Al Horford and Luke Kornet, who are expected to have a lot of interest around the league. – Tim Bontemps
Brooklyn Nets
Evidenced by its record-breaking five first-round selections in last week’s draft, Brooklyn is embarking on a youth movement. The Nets – who started the past season far better than anticipated, as they were still nearing .500 by mid-December – missed out on landing one of the very top picks. And they seem set on making sure that doesn’t happen again.
With that in mind, no one would be surprised if forward Cameron Johnson, the Nets’ player who carries the most trade value, is dealt in the weeks to come.
The Nets possess more cap room than any NBA team, so expect them to engage with the more coveted restricted free agents on the market, such as 22-year-old Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga and 25-year-old Quentin Grimes from Philadelphia. (Brooklyn also will aim to bring back its own restricted free agent in 23-year-old Cam Thomas, who led the team in scoring at 24 points per game.)
But also watch for Brooklyn to express a willingness to take on salaries other teams might be seeking to shed. The Nets have the ability to absorb them for now while also picking up draft picks along the way. – Chris Herring
Chicago Bulls
Despite finishing with an identical 39-43 record over the past two seasons, the Bulls are expected to stay the course by retooling around their young players without tanking to the bottom of the standings.
First up on Chicago’s to-do list is to re-sign Josh Giddey, a restricted free agent who is expected to command a salary near $30 million annually, sources told ESPN. The move to acquire Giddey in a player-for-player trade, without any additional draft compensation, looked a lot like the deal the team made last week when it swapped Lonzo Ball (age 27) for Isaac Okoro (age 24) from Cleveland.
Here’s what general manager Marc Eversley said following the draft:
“We need to remain diligent and pragmatic about how we build this. We don’t want to skip steps. When you do skip steps, expectations build and you make mistakes. I don’t think we want to do that.”
That sounds good, in theory, but the question for Chicago, after years of meandering in the middle, is what exactly these moves are expected to add up to. – Jamal Collier
Cleveland Cavaliers
With massive extensions for Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley – All-NBA players the Cavaliers are very happy to pay – coming onto the books, Cleveland has soared into the second apron.
But it made the ability to retain key free unrestricted reserves Ty Jerome (who finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting) and Sam Merrill (who re-signed to a four-year, $38 million deal) a challenge.
Enter the Cavs’ deal over the weekend to trade wing Isaac Okoro for Lonzo Ball. Ball was limited to just 35 games last season because of a wrist injury, but when Ball played, he proved to be an effective third guard as a ball handler and a table setter. He has better size than Jerome and is a better defender with a desirable contract at $10 million this year plus a $10 million team option for 2026-27. Okoro is owed about $23 million guaranteed over the next two years.
Jerome is a potential target for a team with the bulk of its $14 million midlevel exception available, a number the Cavs were concerned they might not be able to match. Moving Okoro, whose playing time varied this past season, opens playing time for 2024 first-round pick Jaylon Tyson, who was an odd man out last year and dealt with some injuries.
Though it’s hard to count on anything in the immediate future from second-round picks, the Cavs’ choice of Duke’s Tyrese Proctor last week was an indication they might need to replace some guard depth after free agency. – Brian Windhorst
Dallas Mavericks
Kyrie Irving’s acceptance of a three-year, $119 million contract – taking a pay cut for this season after declining his $43 million player option – allowed the Mavericks to maintain access to the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception.
The plan for that slot is to sign a lead guard who can start while Irving recovers from his torn left ACL and transition to a key reserve role upon the nine-time All-Star’s return.
Candidates include D’Angelo Russell, Malcolm Brogdon, Chris Paul and Tyus Jones, sources said. (The Mavs had interest in Dennis Schroder, but he is expected to command a significantly higher salary.)
“A lot of players want to come play in Dallas, so I think we’ll have our choice based upon the money and the opportunity we have,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison said after the first round of the draft on Thursday. “Obviously, there’s limitations to us having our choice, but I think all things equal in terms of money, we’ll have our choice of player that we want to get. Super confident in that.” – Tim MacMahon
Denver Nuggets
Will the Nuggets attempt to replace Russell Westbrook in the rotation after he opted out of the second year of his contract following a roller-coaster season in Denver?
That remains to be seen, as Denver has the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception available but is facing the repeater tax.
The Nuggets, whose revamped front office has the unique structure of dual decision-makers in executive vice president of basketball operations Ben Tenzer and executive vice president of player personnel Jon Wallace, need to determine how much they’re willing to rely on unproven young talent. That includes guard Jalen Pickett, who played sporadically in his first two years but flashed some potential down the stretch this past season.
“The easiest way to develop is time,” Wallace said. “Over the past couple of years, they’ve gotten more experience and played in real games and real situations. We have the utmost confidence in them.” – MacMahon
Golden State Warriors
As expected, the Warriors tendered a one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer on Saturday to Jonathan Kuminga to make the forward a restricted free agent.
With the Nets the only team that can offer a starting salary of $20 million or more, Golden State will wait to see what Kuminga’s market is. The Warriors have the right to match and could explore sign-and-trade options too. If no deal materializes, they can keep Kuminga – and see how he continues to develop alongside Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green – and opt to explore trade options if they want to next season.
The Warriors need help across the roster, with main priorities being at the center spot, more shooting and veteran 3-and-D wings. Veteran free agents such as Brook Lopez, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Bruce Brown and Malcolm Brogdon could help Curry and Butler.
GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. said the Warriors will be “in the mix” in what could be a very active trade market in July. But Dunleavy likely will have to wait to see what happens with Kuminga first. – Ohm Youngmisuk
Houston Rockets
The Rockets had hoped to find a homegrown player to serve as their offensive engine headed into next season. But the team’s first-round exit against Golden State provided sufficient evidence for the Rockets to look outside the organization for that player.
So, Houston traded for one of the NBA’s greatest scorers in Kevin Durant for a haul consisting mostly of second-round picks. But in the process, it sent two starters (Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green) to Phoenix along with this year’s No. 10 pick (Khaman Maluach).
Houston GM Rafael Stone still has the full midlevel exception at his disposal, so there’s a good chance the Rockets will replenish the depth surrendered in the Durant trade through free agency and lean on player development to push some of their young players, including Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard and Alperen Sengun, to the next level.
The Rockets took care of their business early in bringing back Fred VanVleet, Jae’Sean Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green.
After extending Jabari Smith Jr., their next tasks are doing the same with Tari Eason and potentially adding a 3-and-D wing in free agency. – Michael C. Wright
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers have been preparing for months to re-sign franchise center Myles Turner. Yes, it’s because he is a 10-year member of the team, is still in his prime and offers a valuable combination of rim defender and floor spacer. But it’s also because Indiana cannot replace him.
The question is how much it’ll cost, considering Naz Reid just reset the center market with a five-year, $125 million deal. The Pacers haven’t paid the luxury tax in 20 years and are facing that expense if they pay Turner in a season in which they likely will be without Tyrese Haliburton, who will be recovering from a torn right Achilles tendon sustained during the NBA Finals.
Turner is going to get re-signed. But retaining the rest of Indiana’s depth, including extension-eligible supersub Bennedict Mathurin, is a bigger question. Rival teams are eyeing whether there will be a cost-saving move coming, as well. – Windhorst
LA Clippers
The Clippers took care of their first order of business on Sunday, agreeing to a new deal with James Harden. Harden declined his $36.3 million option for next season in exchange for a new two-year, $81.5 million contract, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania. The second year of Harden’s deal has a player option and is partially guaranteed, sources said.
The agreement gives Harden a raise after earning All-NBA third-team honors and helping the Clippers win 50 games despite Kawhi Leonard missing the first two-plus months of the season. It also allows the Clippers to maintain present and future financial flexibility and they’ll have access to the $14.1 million non-tax midlevel exception.
By signing Harden, they also keep their two stars on a similar timeline, with Leonard having two years left on his deal. They could still use another playmaker to help Harden, another backup big and add more two-way wings to fortify an already imposing defense. Norman Powell is also extension-eligible. – Youngmisuk
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James opted in to his $52.6 million contract with the Lakers on Sunday, and Dorian Finney-Smith opted out of his $15.4 million contract.
Neither decision guarantees that player will or won’t be on the team next season.
James’ agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, told ESPN’s Shams Charania, “We want to evaluate what’s best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career … he wants to make every season he has left count,” and that James will be closely monitoring what L.A. does to improve the team in the offseason.
As for Finney-Smith, at 32 and coming off left ankle surgery, the priority is to find a multiyear deal, sources told ESPN – whether that’s in L.A. or elsewhere. If Finney-Smith leaves in free agency, the Lakers would have their full midlevel exception available to them and could use the $14.1 million toward signing a center or split it up to sign multiple players. – McMenamin
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Wolves had three big free agents but room under the second apron for only two. For months they knew this was a reality and hoped they could manage it, but they knew this would likely go this way.
Naz Reid is a franchise success story, going from an undrafted prospect to Sixth Man of the Year and a core member of back-to-back conference finals teams. That’s why the Wolves kept him off the free agent market by locking him into a new five-year, $125 million deal.
This left Julius Randle and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. After a strong postseason, Randle was a priority and the Wolves were able to get a deal done for three years and $100 million to keep him out of free agency.
That left them short of what will be needed to keep Alexander-Walker, who is coming off two strong seasons. They could find a trade to offload some money, but more than likely, NAW will have a new team shortly into free agency. – Windhorst
Memphis Grizzlies
Credit general manager Zach Kleiman for making an honest assessment of where Memphis stands in the highly competitive West, before trading franchise stalwart Desmond Bane to Orlando for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and a first-round pick swap. The blockbuster trade represents a reset and commitment “to take different avenues” toward building a competitive roster, Kleiman said.
Doing so involves retooling around star guard Ja Morant and big man Jaren Jackson Jr., who is up for an extension. It’s expected Memphis will look to create cap space to renegotiate and ultimately extend Jackson, making reserves such as John Konchar potential trade candidates. Santi Aldama is a restricted free agent coming off a career season, and Memphis hopes to bring him back.
The team’s 2025 draft class indicates a shift to a more physical, defensive-minded identity. So keep that in mind when monitoring any potential free agent additions for a team that will be hard-capped at the first apron. – Wright
Milwaukee Bucks
All eyes are on the Bucks to see how they can rebuild their team around Giannis Antetokounmpo.
For now, there has been no trade request from their franchise icon, but there is still significant pressure on the organization on how to survive a “gap year,” with Damian Lillard sidelined for most of, if not all, the 2025-26 season.
Milwaukee had some success down the stretch last season after Lillard’s injury, running the offense through Antetokounmpo and he has expressed interest in playing point forward, using his improved passing and playmaking ability to shoulder even more of the offensive burden.
The Bucks liked how guard Kevin Porter Jr., an unrestricted free agent, fit into that equation and aim to bring him back, as well as Bobby Portis, their perennial Sixth Man of the Year candidate.
But whether the Bucks do enough to position themselves for success – and how they do so – in a weakened Eastern Conference next season is one of the most fascinating questions in the league as free agency begins. – Collier
New York Knicks
It’s no secret the Knicks, with one of the most top-heavy rosters in the NBA, could use some depth. But they’re limited in the ways they can build it, having just the $5.7 million midlevel exception to offer while needing to fill the rest of their open spots with veteran-minimum deals.
Still, expect them to be aggressive in trying to land a free agent like Luke Kennard with the midlevel, though the sharpshooter may be able to find more lucrative offers. The same might be true of Dennis Schroder. Free agents Al Horford and Luke Kornet also figure to be of interest, though the Celtics may be able to maneuver to free up money to keep one or both of them.
The other route New York could take is dealing one of its starters. Both Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, whom the Knicks traded for last summer, are eligible for extensions. Yes, the team is coming off its deepest playoff run in a quarter century.
But after watching the starting five get outscored during the second half of the season – and after seeing Tom Thibodeau lose his job as coach less than one year into his extension – it’s certainly not a foregone conclusion that the starting five will look the same come this October. – Herring
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder took their big swing in free agency last summer, when they signed center Isaiah Hartenstein to a three-year, $87 million contract, a move that helped bring a championship parade to Bricktown. That was the most important free agency acquisition in franchise history and will likely be Oklahoma City’s last big splash in free agency for a while.
The Thunder’s priority this summer is anticipated to be making a long-term commitment to their core. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is eligible to sign a four-year, $293 million supermax extension this summer or could wait until the 2026 offseason to get an even larger deal (five years, $380 million).
All-NBA forward Jalen Williams and likely future All-Star power forward/center Chet Holmgren are eligible to sign rookie contract extensions worth as much as $247 million over five years, with potential supermax escalators that could increase the value to $296 million. – MacMahon
Philadelphia 76ers
With Philadelphia’s selection of VJ Edgecombe third overall in Wednesday’s NBA draft now behind them, the 76ers head into the offseason with two main pieces of business.
The first is whether they can retain unrestricted free agent forward Guerschon Yabusele, the 2016 Celtics first-round pick who came back to the NBA last season. The 76ers are limited to the taxpayer’s midlevel exception, under $6 million, in what they can offer him, and it’s unclear that will be enough to do so.
The other is the restricted free agency of Quentin Grimes, who averaged nearly 22 points per game for Philadelphia after coming over in a deadline trade with Dallas. Though they have limited cap space, the 76ers are likely to get a deal done – or match an offer – to retain Grimes’ services into next season. – Bontemps
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix has already completely transformed its team in the past week, starting with the Kevin Durant trade to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks and continuing on draft night, when the team selected Duke center Khaman Maluach in the first round, added Rasheer Fleming and Koby Brea in the second round and traded for center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets.
New general manager Brian Gregory will need to continue to fill out the roster with an immediate need at point guard. Tyus Jones and Collin Gillespie are both free agents.
Unless the team can convince Bradley Beal to waive his no-trade clause and find a taker for his $53.7 million salary, the majority of the Suns’ summer movement has already taken place. – McMenamin
San Antonio Spurs
San Antonio exercised restraint in its pursuit of Kevin Durant, and it’s expected the team will move similarly in free agency, despite the Spurs sitting in prime position to snag an All-Star-caliber player.
San Antonio is currently $27 million below the luxury tax with the flexibility to go in a variety of directions. But count on GM Brian Wright and the Spurs taking a measured approach because the brass wants to see how all the developing young talent fits around Victor Wembanyama before taking big swings to upgrade.
San Antonio could use depth in the backcourt, shooters and a backup big, given that reserve center Charles Bassey hasn’t finished the past two seasons because of injuries. The team’s main focus this summer will be extending De’Aaron Fox, who is eligible in August to sign a four-year, $229 million extension.
Aside from that, look for the Spurs to try to add around the edges, with a 3-point shooter such as Luke Kennard or Ty Jerome, and potential frontcourt contributors like Guerschon Yabusele, who played with Wembanyama on the French national team. – Wright
Utah Jazz
Don’t be confused by new president of basketball operations Austin Ainge’s declaration that the Jazz wouldn’t tank again this season. Winning instantly will not be the priority when it comes to roster construction in Utah this offseason.
The Jazz were already one of the youngest teams in the NBA and got younger with the addition of 18-year-old Ace Bailey and 22-year-old Walter Clayton Jr. as first-round picks. There were already nine players age 23 or younger on the roster, including a pair of lottery picks who are projects in forwards Cody Williams and Taylor Hendricks.
Player development will continue to be a priority, which makes it likely that the Jazz will have a high lottery pick again next year, when the selection they owe Oklahoma City is top-eight protected.
The Jazz are a team to watch for unloading players in the trade market. Veterans John Collins and Jordan Clarkson are (still) available, and each of them are on expiring contracts. It doesn’t make sense for the Jazz to be aggressive in free agency at this stage of the rebuilding process. – MacMahon
