随着日历翻到七月，关注我们整个NBA团队带来的 自由球员市场实时新闻与分析 ，并 订阅《The Bounce》 ，将篮球内容直接发送到您的收件箱。
NBA自由球员市场第二天已经尘埃落定，而我们的动作比第一天要多得多。
洛杉矶湖人队经历了彻底的改造，并通过送出选秀权，实际上撬走了一位备受珍视的受限制自由球员中锋。他们还完成了一系列签约。然后，杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown) 被出人意料地交易到了费城。
一些重要的自由球员也同意加盟新球队，所以我们有很多内容要分析（如果我们遗漏了哪笔操作，请见谅）。请记住：大多数交易要到7月6日谈判期结束后才会正式生效。让我们回顾一下周三（截至美东时间晚上11点59分）发生的事情。
重大操作
沃克·凯斯勒 (Walker Kessler) 同意通过先签后换加盟湖人（四年，1.3亿美元）
我完全承认，之前看来湖人（或任何球队）似乎都不可能从犹他爵士队手中抢走受限制自由球员凯斯勒。然而，湖人队正通过先签后换的方式，用一份顶薪合同签下他。爵士队只换回了选秀权，但这些选秀权最终可能价值不菲。湖人队确实需要在内线有一个真正的存在感来提升他们在西部的地位。凯斯勒是NBA最好的护筐手之一，也是联盟中最好的篮板手之一。而且他能够从各个角度接球并在篮筐附近完成终结。
也许他现在还不是家喻户晓的名字，但湖人队需要有人来为卢卡·东契奇和奥斯汀·里夫斯协防。这两位在防守端都很吃力，所以凯斯勒应该能够支援他们。如果他能够持续在空间中做好防守，他们就不会在面对挡拆时被迫只能使用蹲坑防守。他上赛季曾尝试展现三分投射能力，但因伤只打了五场比赛。如果凯斯勒能够稳定地留在场上，加上湖人周三同意签下的其他球员，他们将在西部向前迈出一大步。 评分：单纯签约评为A，算上送出的选秀资产评为A-
诺曼·鲍威尔 (Norman Powell) 同意签约公牛（两年，4500万美元）
这笔签约有点令人震惊。感觉鲍威尔本注定要加盟底特律活塞队，因为他的得分能力是活塞急需的。相反，他却去了一支可能不会在太多比赛中具备竞争力的芝加哥球队。也许这更像是为交易截止日准备的筹码？或者这更像当年布鲁斯·布朗签约印第安纳时的情况？很多争冠球队都会觊觎鲍威尔。在过去两年里，他的得分能力和影响力都达到了全明星级别，并且在刚过去的这个赛季他也确实入选了全明星。鲍威尔应该会成为公牛队一个非常有交易价值的资产。只是很难相信他是公牛本赛季实际计划的一部分。 评分：B
米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson) 同意签约凯尔特人（三年，4740万美元）
凯尔特人之前在这方面经历了起伏，但篮板球对他们来说是个问题。罗宾逊很大程度上解决了这个问题，他将非常出色地完成延续球队进攻回合的任务。是的，罚球和犯规可能会成为问题。然而，凯尔特人本赛季想给对手篮筐施加更大的压力，而罗宾逊有助于此。他在篮筐附近的垂直空间感可以成为防守方需要重点关注的事情。对于一支热爱投三分球的球队来说，罗宾逊提供了很好的补充。我们只是不清楚他是否有能力承担首发级别的上场时间。 评分：A-
约翰·科林斯 (John Collins) 同意签约活塞（三年，5100万美元）
活塞队基本上是用科林斯替换了托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris)。而这看起来根本不像是一次升级。科林斯在稳定性上存在问题，这无疑也是你可以对哈里斯提出的批评。科林斯的防守不出色，而且他在比赛中有点飘忽不定，游离于攻防回合之外。当（有可能）搭档杰伦·杜伦时，这对科林斯来说可能会好很多。他会成为凯德·坎宁安的一个不错的挡拆选择。然而，在现在以赛亚·斯图尔特去了孟菲斯的情况下，当杜伦下场时，科林斯无法成为一个令人信服的替补中锋。这对于底特律来说感觉像是一次失误，除非他们还有其他的大动作。 评分：C-
托拜厄斯·哈里斯同意签约马刺（两年，3100万美元）
对于马刺来说，这是一个非常好的大前锋位置短期选择。哈里斯在场上并非完全可靠，但与上赛季底特律对他的需求相比，马刺需要他做的会少得多。哈里斯在季后赛中展现了很多斗志，这些斗志无论多少能带到圣安东尼奥，都将是一个很好的提升。马刺可以将哈里斯视为一种奢侈品，而非必需品。他们只需要他稳定地命中外线投篮。在维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 身边，他有足够的力量和体重来进行一些身体对抗的防守。我们拭目以待，这笔合同本质上真的更像一个一年期合同还是会有更多延续。 评分：B
预期中的续约
德安东尼·梅尔顿 (De’Anthony Melton) 同意续约勇士（两年，1100万美元）
过去几年，梅尔顿并没有完全从十字韧带伤势中完美复出，但勇士确实需要像他这样的老将后卫坐在替补席上。当他完全健康时，他能够在外线防守并命中三分球。他上赛季没有投中外线投篮，但勇士队有信心他能找回状态。 评分：B-
乔纳森·艾萨克 (Jonathan Isaac) 同意续约魔术（一年，底薪）
魔术队在自由球员市场开始前裁掉了艾萨克，以便在他的非保障合同上省点钱，然后又用一份底薪合同把他带了回来。因此，他本赛季总共仍能挣到大约1000万美元。最大的问题在于他是否真的能上场比赛。 评分：C+
超值签约
昆廷·格兰姆斯 (Quentin Grimes) 同意签约湖人（四年，6000万美元）
去年夏天，作为受限制自由球员，格兰姆斯似乎有可能得到一份四年8000万美元的合同。相反，他当时与费城签下资质报价，以在今年成为自由球员。湖人队非常需要在东契奇和里夫斯的后场组合身边配备一名3D侧翼。如果他的表现能接近2024-25赛季末的水平，这绝对是一次超值抢劫。用基本等同于全额中产特例的代价得到他，是湖人队总经理罗伯·佩林卡的一笔重大操作。 评分：A-
科林·塞克斯顿 (Collin Sexton) 同意签约湖人（两年，1900万美元）
有趣的是，塞克斯顿和科比·怀特上赛季的数据相似，但怀特却以三年7400万美元的价格留在了夏洛特。虽然怀特是更好的球员，但塞克斯顿两年1900万的价格感觉近乎打劫。他可能会成为年度最佳第六人的候选人，而湖人将确实需要他从替补席带来的外线投射和得分能力。也许这最终会是一个短期操作，就像佩林卡为替补后卫所做过的其他几笔操作一样（让人想起马利克·蒙克和朗尼·沃克四世）。这笔交易有潜力成为一笔精明的操作。 评分：B+
桑德罗·马穆凯拉什维利 (Sandro Mamukelashvili) 同意签约湖人（四年，5200万美元）
在凯斯勒担任首发且德安德烈·艾顿执行球员选项的情况下，我很高兴看到湖人队还是决定在这里进行补强。也许艾顿会被交易或裁掉，但马穆凯拉什维利更符合湖人想要打造的体系。他活跃得多，也能做更多的策应组织。他也比艾顿更具稳定输出的能力。 评分：B+
马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart) 同意签约火箭（两年，1300万美元）
曾几何时，火箭队似乎真的不知道如何在替补控卫的选择上做文章。斯马特将完美契合伊梅·乌度卡想要做的事情。你可以把他和里德·谢泼德搭档，这会让你非常放心。同样，他也能和弗雷德·范弗利特搭档。火箭可以让斯马特时不时地担当几分钟的主控。这是一笔扎实的短期签约。 评分：B
小凯利·乌布雷 (Kelly Oubre Jr.) 同意签约步行者（两年，1650万美元）
谈到场上稳定性时，乌布雷并非完全可靠。有时他能轻松命中三分球。有时他能打出出色的外线防守。在步行者想采用的那种快节奏打法中，乌布雷有潜力大放异彩。就这个薪水和合同年限而言，他应该能很好地发挥作用。 评分：B
莫里茨·瓦格纳 (Moe Wagner) 同意签约篮网（两年，1900万美元）
篮网在试图寻找有竞争力的篮球组合方面有很多不确定性。瓦格纳至少会是一个不错的替补选择。也许这笔交易最终更像是一份一年合同。他能得分，也能在防守端竞争，并且他最终应该会推动戴罗恩·夏普去争取一些上场时间。这正是你想要用来挑战年轻球员争取上场时间的那种球员。 评分：B
有待商榷的交易
尼古拉·武切维奇 (Nikola Vučević) 同意签约魔术（一年，390万美元）
魔术队存在一些真正的组织策应问题。那么，自然，他们的操作就是把武切维奇带回来。他们失去了加盟篮网的瓦格纳，所以这确实有助于提供一些阵容深度。我不确定在温德尔·卡特二世和戈加·比塔泽仍在队中的情况下，魔术需要将此作为优先事项。这感觉像是一笔情怀操作。 评分：C+

令人费解的操作
贾克森·海斯 (Jaxson Hayes) 同意签约爵士（两年，1200万美元）
对我来说很有趣的是，爵士和湖人基本上互换了中锋，凯斯勒去洛杉矶打首发，而海斯去犹他做替补大个子。海斯不需要打很多时间。爵士队已经有小贾伦·杰克逊和优素福·努尔基奇在队中。海斯并不是一支有追求的球队需要用于常规轮换时间的那种球员，所以也许犹他州是希望挖掘一些球员发展潜力，让他成为一个稳定的替补选择。 评分：C-
今日交易
杰伦·布朗被交易至76人，换来保罗·乔治 (Paul George)、两个首轮签（2028年、2031年）和两个次轮签
我真的很震惊凯尔特人居然真的送走了布朗。同样令我震惊的是，回报如此平庸。感觉凯尔特人完全对布朗的情况反应过度了，然后以跳楼价送走了上赛季球队最好的球员。保罗·乔治的巅峰期已近尾声，而且他刚打出了一个以他自己的标准来看相当平淡的赛季。凯尔特人还指望着这些选秀权变得有价值，但我不确定这个时间线是否与他们当前的夺冠窗口期吻合。
至于76人队，只要布朗和泰瑞斯·马克西能够共存，他们感觉上对乔尔·恩比德的依赖就大大降低了。波士顿将会后退一步，试图在一两年后围绕杰森·塔图姆重组。与此同时，费城感觉上离在东部挑战纽约更近了一大步。 评分：费城A，波士顿D+。
小操作
迈克·康利 (Mike Conley Jr.) 同意签约凯尔特人（一年，底薪）
在今天刚开始的时候，感觉康利会提供一个好的更衣室存在感，来帮助布朗克服交易流言。而现在，他感觉上只是一名不错的球队“老大哥”。 看好还是不看好？
杰文·卡特 (Jevon Carter) 同意续约魔术（一年，350万美元）
卡特是典型的轮换阵容中的第三控卫。他能防守，而且投篮也相当不错。这是一笔不错的阵容深度补充。 看好还是不看好？
阿利亚·马丁 (Alijah Martin) 同意续约猛龙（两年，480万美元）
他在发展联盟是大杀器，但上赛季在NBA并没有展现出太多东西。随着格雷迪·迪克的离开，也许他会在轮换阵容中获得提升。 看好还是不看好？
阿里尔·胡克波蒂 (Ariel Hukporti) 同意签约76人（一年，340万美元）
胡克波蒂在尼克斯展现出了一点潜力，但这主要是一笔“紧急情况下打破玻璃”的阵容深度补充。 看好还是不看好？

NBA free agency 2026: Grades, head-scratchers and analysis from Day 2
Follow live free-agency news and analysis from our entire NBA staff as the calendar turns to July, and sign up for The Bounce to get basketball content delivered straight to your inbox.
Day 2 of NBA free agency is in the books, and we had a lot more action than on Night 1.
The Los Angeles Lakers received a complete makeover and actually pried away a prized restricted free-agent center by throwing draft picks at the situation. They also made a bunch of signings. And then Jaylen Brown was traded to Philly out of nowhere.
Some significant free agents also agreed to join new teams, so we have plenty to analyze (and if we forgot a move, please forgive us). Remember: Most deals only become official on July 6 when the negotiation period is over. Let’s review what went down on Wednesday (through 11:59 p.m. ET).
Big moves
Walker Kessler agrees to sign-and-trade with Lakers (four years, $130 million)
I’ll fully admit that it didn’t seem possible that the Lakers (or anybody) would be able to wrestle Kessler away from the Utah Jazz in restricted free agency. And yet, the Lakers are signing him to a max deal via sign-and-trade. The Jazz are just getting draft picks in return, but those could end up being valuable. The Lakers really needed an actual presence in the paint to improve their standing in the Western Conference. Kessler is one of the NBA’s best rim protectors, as well as one of the best rebounders in the league. And he can catch passes from all angles and finish around the rim.
Maybe he isn’t a household name yet, but the Lakers need someone to defend behind Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Those two are brutal on defense, so Kessler should be able to support them. If he can consistently defend in space, they won’t be stuck utilizing drop coverage against pick-and-rolls. He tried to flash a 3-point shot last season but played in only five games due to an injury. If Kessler is on the floor consistently, along with the other players the Lakers agreed to sign Wednesday, they will take a big step forward in the West. Grade: A for the signing, A- when you factor in the draft assets given
Norman Powell agrees to sign with Bulls (two years, $45 million)
This is a bit of a shocking signing. It felt like Powell would be destined to join the Detroit Pistons because his scoring was much needed. Instead, he’s going to a Chicago team that might not actually compete in many games. Maybe this is more of a trade deadline play? Or maybe this is more like when Bruce Brown signed with Indiana? Many contenders will covet Powell. His scoring and impact have been All-Star-worthy the last two years, and he was an All-Star this past season. Powell should be a very tradable asset for the Bulls. It’s just hard to believe he’s part of their actual plan this season. Grade: B
Mitchell Robinson agrees to sign with Celtics (three years, $47.4 million)
The Celtics went through waves with this, but rebounding was an issue for them. Robinson fixes that quite a bit, and he’s going to do a great job of extending possessions. Yes, the free-throw shooting and fouls can be an issue. However, the Celtics want to put a lot more pressure on the rim this season, and Robinson aids that. His vertical spacing around the rim can be a big thing for the defense to focus on. For a team that loves taking 3-pointers, Robinson complements a lot. We just don’t know if he’s capable of playing starter-level minutes. Grade: A-
John Collins agrees to sign with Pistons (three years, $51 million)
The Pistons are essentially swapping out Tobias Harris for Collins. And that doesn’t seem like an upgrade at all. Collins struggles with consistency, which is definitely a criticism you could throw Harris’ way. Collins doesn’t play great defense, and he kind of floats from possession to possession. Next to (potentially) Jalen Duren, this could be a lot better for Collins. He’ll be a good pick-and-roll option for Cade Cunningham. However, Collins won’t be a convincing backup center when Duren is out, now that Isaiah Stewart is in Memphis. This feels like a misstep by Detroit unless there’s another big move out there. Grade: C-
Tobias Harris agrees to sign with Spurs (two years, $31 million)
This is a very good short-term option for the Spurs at power forward. Harris isn’t entirely reliable on the court, but they’ll need a lot less out of him than Detroit did last season. Harris showed a lot of fight in the postseason, and any of that getting to San Antonio would be a good boost. The Spurs can utilize Harris as a luxury, rather than a necessity. They just need him to consistently knock down outside shots. Alongside Victor Wembanyama, he has plenty of strength and heft to play some physical defense. We’ll see if this is really more of a one-year deal or something that extends beyond. Grade: B
Expected re-signs
De’Anthony Melton agrees to re-sign with Warriors (two years, $11 million)
Melton hasn’t exactly returned perfectly from his ACL injury the last couple of years, but the Warriors do need a veteran guard like him off the bench. When he’s at full strength, he can defend on the perimeter and knock down 3-pointers. He didn’t knock down outside shots last season, but the Warriors are confident he’ll be back to form. Grade: B-
Jonathan Isaac agrees to re-sign with Magic (one year, minimum)
The Magic got rid of Isaac before free agency started to save some money on his non-guaranteed contract and then brought him back on a minimum deal. He’ll still earn like $10 million altogether this season because of it. The big question is whether he’ll actually get on the court. Grade: C+
Great values
Quentin Grimes agrees to sign with Lakers (four years, $60 million)
Last summer, as a restricted free agent, there seemed to be a possibility that Grimes would get $80 million over four years. Instead, he signed the qualifying offer with Philadelphia to become a free agent now. The Lakers really need a 3-and-D wing next to their backcourt of Dončić and Reaves. If he plays anywhere close to the way he did at the end of the 2024-25 season, this is an absolute steal. Getting him for essentially the midlevel exception is a big-time move by the Lakers’ Rob Pelinka. Grade: A-
Collin Sexton agrees to sign with Lakers (two years, $19 million)
Interestingly, Sexton and Coby White had similar numbers last season, yet White received $74 million over three years to remain in Charlotte. While White is a better player, Sexton getting $19 million over two years feels close to a steal. He could be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate, and the Lakers will really need his outside shooting and scoring off the bench. Maybe this ends up being a short-term play, like a few of the Lakers’ other moves for a backup guard under Pelinka (Malik Monk and Lonnie Walker IV come to mind). This has the potential to be a brilliant deal. Grade: B+
Sandro Mamukelashvili agrees to sign with Lakers (four years, $52 million)
With Kessler as the starter and Deandre Ayton picking up his option, I like that the Lakers still decided to improve here. Maybe Ayton gets traded or waived, but Mamukelashvili is a better fit for what the Lakers want to do. He’s far more active, and he can do more playmaking. He’s also more of a consistent option than Ayton. Grade: B+
Marcus Smart agrees to sign with Rockets (two years, $13 million)
There were times when the Rockets seemed to truly not know where to go with their guard options off the bench. Smart is going to fit perfectly into what Ime Udoka wants to do. You can pair him with Reed Sheppard and be perfectly comfortable. Likewise for him with Fred VanVleet. The Rockets can make Smart the lead guard for a few minutes here and there. This is a solid, short-term signing. Grade: B
Kelly Oubre Jr. agrees to sign with Pacers (two years, $16.5 million)
Oubre isn’t entirely reliable when it comes to on-court consistency. There are times when he’s able to knock down 3-pointers with ease. There are times he plays great perimeter defense. In an uptempo style of play like Indiana wants to employ, Oubre can potentially thrive. For this money and length, he should work just fine. Grade: B
Moe Wagner agrees to sign with Nets (two years, $19 million)
The Nets have so much up in the air with trying to find some competitive basketball combinations. Wagner will, at worst, be a good backup option. Maybe this ends up being more of a one-year deal. He can score and compete on defense, and he should end up pushing Day’Ron Sharpe for some minutes. That’s exactly the type of player you want challenging a young guy for playing time. Grade: B
On-the-fence deals
Nikola Vučević agrees to sign with Magic (one year, $3.9 million)
The Magic have some real playmaking issues. So, naturally, their move is to bring back Vučević. They lost Wagner to the Nets, so this does help provide some depth. I’m not sure the Magic need this as a priority with Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze still on the roster. This feels like a nostalgic move. Grade: C+

Head-scratchers
Jaxson Hayes agrees to sign with the Jazz (two years, $12 million)
It’s funny to me that the Jazz and Lakers essentially swapped centers, with Kessler going to Los Angeles to start and Hayes going to Utah as a backup big. Hayes doesn’t need to play a lot. The Jazz have Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkić on the team. Hayes just isn’t someone a serious team needs for regular minutes, so maybe Utah is hoping to unlock some player development to make him a consistent backup option. Grade: C-
Trade(s) of the day
Jaylen Brown traded to the 76ers for Paul George, two firsts (2028, 2031) and two seconds
I’m genuinely shocked the Celtics actually moved Brown. I’m also shocked it’s for such a mediocre return. It feels like the Celtics completely overreacted to the Brown situation before taking 40 cents on the dollar for last season’s best player. Paul George is near the end of his effectiveness and is coming off a pretty mundane season by his standards. The Celtics are also hoping these draft picks become significant, but I’m not sure if that time aligns with their current window.
As for the 76ers, they feel a lot more Joel Embiid-proof, as long as Brown and Tyrese Maxey can coexist. Boston is going to take a step back and try to regroup in a year or two with Jayson Tatum. Meanwhile, Philly feels a lot closer to challenging New York in the East. Grade: A for Philadelphia, D+ for Boston.
Small moves
Mike Conley Jr. agrees to sign with the Celtics (one year, minimum)
At the beginning of the day, it felt like Conley would provide a good locker-room presence to help Brown get over the trade rumors. Now, he just feels like a good adult for the team. Yay or nay?
Jevon Carter agrees to re-sign with Magic (one year, $3.5 million)
Carter is the quintessential third point guard in a rotation. He can defend and is pretty good at knocking down shots. This is a decent depth play. Yay or nay?
Alijah Martin agrees to re-sign with the Raptors (two years, $4.8 million)
He was a killer in the G League but didn’t show much in the NBA last season. Maybe he moves up in the rotation with Gradey Dick gone. Yay or nay?
Ariel Hukporti agrees to sign with the 76ers (one year, $3.4 million)
Hukporti showed a little bit of potential on the Knicks, but this is mostly a depth play for “break glass in case of emergency.” Yay or nay?
