NBA free agency

Keep up with the latest news and reports from around the league as the offseason rolls along.

While free agency opens today, there are some non-free agents to pay attention too this summer as well. Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports the Lakers will target Otto Porter Jr., Nicolas Batum, Gary Harris, TJ Warren, Caleb Martin, Cody Martin, Mo Bamba and Danuel House Jr. with their full taxpayer midlevel exception. As a part of a three-team, Draft-night trade, New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker was reportedly dealt to the Detroit Pistons. However, he will not be with Detroit for long. Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes reported that Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson will meet with the Mavs, New York Knicks and Miami Heat once free agency opens. Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden reportedly opted out of his deal last night, but he is expected to re-sign at a lower rate to help the team. Former All-Star center Andre Drummond is also an unrestricted free agent this summer and, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post, the Nets are showing interest in both big men. With four years on his contract, there's no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant. He was even better in the 2022 playoffs, averaging 21.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg and 3.7 apg as Dallas made the Western Conference finals. Instead, Monk gets a higher payday with Sacramento after averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists (all career highs) while shooting 47.3% from the field (39.1% on 3s). Last season, Beal averaged 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 40 games for the Wizards. He is a three-time All-Star and made the All-NBA Third Team in 2020-21. The season before that, he guided the Suns to their first NBA Finals berth since 1993. Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game and led the NBA with 19 triple-doubles in becoming the 13th player in NBA history to record back-to-back MVPs.

Follow along as The Sporting News tracks all of the notable signings and trades in NBA free agency.

He has a player option in the final year of his deal. Dort averaged career-highs across the board last season, posting 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game. New team Previous team While players can't officially sign deals until 12:01 p.m. ET on July 6, plenty of them will agree to terms over the coming week. Toscano-Anderson, 29, is a lengthy defender who can guard multiple positions. Ensuingly, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported Brunson intended to sign a four-year, "near" $110 million deal with the Knicks. The Lakers lost out on Monk, who signed a two-year, $19 million deal with the Kings, per a number of sources. Reigning two-time MVP Nikola Jokic has agreed to a five-year, $264 million supermax extension with the Nuggets, while Devin Booker has agreed to a four-year, $214 million supermax contract with the Suns. Charania also added that Booker will be the cover athlete for NBA 2K23. Superstars land max contract extensions Detroit seems to like his potential for the future of the franchise, as it has signed Bagley to a three-year, $37 million deal, per Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes. Knicks land Jalen Brunson

Bagley had a great draft pedigree as one of the best high school recruits in the country and the no. The Pistons aren't winning any time soon, so this is the type of move that makes sense for them. He should get a slightly bigger role for the Wizards and be a good innings eater for them. This seems like a deal made to get some value down the line in the trade market. The team didn't miss a beat when Ja Morant was out thanks to the heady play of Jones. He's also one of the smarter defenders in the league. Claxton is a young big who can move decently on the perimeter and protect the rim well. Mills fulfilled a vital role for the Nets last season. The idea of him as a stretch big who can block some shots is extremely valuable. The fit is a little odd, but this isn't the gross overpay that many are making it out to be. The Brunson contract has been met largely with derision, and it's understandable on some level. Another no-brainer for the Suns to extend Booker on a supermax contract.

It's NBA free-agency season! Have you ever imagined what it'd be like to run a team? Now's your chance. Our quiz will reveal which NBA franchise you're best ...

Decisions big and small are made at the very top of the Miami Heat's organizational hierarchy, but in Golden State, consensus is built in a more collaborative process (though owner Joe Lacob is still the boss). That exercise usually begins and ends with whom they would've drafted in the first round last week, or which deal they'd execute in ESPN's Trade Machine. The NBA might still be an exceptional business in which winners and losers are decided on a literal playing field, but it has never been more like other multibillion-dollar enterprises.

NBA free agency begins when the negotiating window opens Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. Stay with USA TODAY Sports for all the latest new and buzz.

Harden declined his $47.3 million option to reportedly work with the Sixers on a new deal that would give the team more financial flexibility to make improvements to the roster this offseason. Joe Ingles has agreed on a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to Yahoo Sports. Ingles tore the ACL in his left knee in February when he was with the Utah Jazz and missed the rest of the season. But look for the Mavs to made every effort to re-sign Brunson. He declined his $4.6 million option Wednesday in the hopes of landing a lucrative long-term deal, and the bet on himself paid off. However, teams with money to spend probably shouldn't get their hopes up about signing James Harden or Bradley Beal to a big, splashy contract once free agency opens. Portis has agreed to re-sign with the Milwaukee Bucks on a four-year, $49 million deal. Highly-sought forward P.J. Tucker is heading to Philadelphia after agreeing to terms on three-year, $33.2 million deal with the Sixers, his agent Andre Buck told USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt. The Sixers will be Tucker's fourth team in four seasons. The 6-10 forward has been a key rotation player for the Bucks the past two seasons, including during their run to the 2021 championship. Veteran guard Patty Mills is returning to the Brooklyn Nets with a slight raise. Shortly after, he was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a three-team deal. It won't be a surprise to see more of the same this summer. Who will be on the move for the 2022-23 season?

Jokic will sign a five-year, $264 million deal to remain in Denver.

But with Jokic leading the way, and committed to the team long term, the Nuggets have a chance. A run to the Western Conference finals in the bubble in 2020 helped introduce him to a larger audience, and everything coalesced the last two seasons with back-to-back MVP awards. It didn't take long for him to start making a name for himself, however, as he finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting and made All-Rookie First Team. After winning MVP for a second consecutive season, Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic is set to be rewarded with the largest contract in NBA history. Then, Murray blew out his knee, and they've been stuck in limbo ever since. All of those numbers save for the assists were career-highs.

And this year may already be the craziest yet, thanks to Kevin Durant's trade demand to the Brooklyn Nets just hours before trades officially commence at 6pm ...

The way Arenas tells it, an executive for one of the NBA’s major market teams told flight attendants to replace the junk food on the plane with more wholesome options. Without divulging the player’s name, Arenas relates an anecdote about how one team’s sudden decision to replace sugary snacks with healthier options doomed their chances of retaining the services of the living legend. Strictly speaking, teams aren’t allowed to pay players more than the official value of a contract, but fringe benefits are a gray area. He’s talking about the annoying little things — like extra tickets to games and other random expenses a player detests dealing with. Take care of ‘em and they’ll return the love. With the advent of player power, shorter contracts, and math whiz front offices, NBA free agent season seems to get crazier every summer.

Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks kicked off the craziness that is the start of NBA free agency.

The center managed to lead his team to the postseason for the second time in his career. Expect the veteran to see a minor role behind Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Roby and Derrick Favors. The center has played with four teams over the course of the last two seasons, spending time with the Cavaliers, Lakers, Sixers and Nets, most recently. Fantasy analysis: After flaming out in New York, Knox spent the end of last season in Atlanta but failed to make a tangible impact. Reed is unlikely to be much of a fantasy impact player in 2022-23, but he'll once again compete to carve out a consistent role off the bench. He's coming off a career year with the Kings, where he averaged 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes. Splitting last season between the Lakers and 76ers, the veteran averaged 4.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes. His role will presumably be reduced next season with the team expected to start the year healthy. Fantasy analysis: A key role player for the Warriors over the last two seasons, Toscano-Anderson will head south to LA to provide much-needed depth for a top-heavy roster. Fantasy analysis: Jones has proven to be crucial as a backup to Ja Morant, and the two can share the court when needed. Fantasy analysis: Tucker proved what he needed to last season on a one-year, $7 million contract with the Heat, where he averaged 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.9 minutes. He'll likely rotate with Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson – assuming he returns – and the rest of the Knicks' frontcourt in 2022-23.

Will the Celtics make a significant move on the first day of free agency? Follow the latest rumors, news and completed contracts with our Day 1 NBA free ...

Huerter would fit into Boston's $17.1 million traded player exception and could be an intriguing option for the C's, as our Chris Forsberg detailed recently. 9:20 a.m.: Boston "isn't expected to pursue any radical changes" this offseason, Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reports. Will the Boston Celtics land any of these players? 11:15 a.m.: Tobias Harris apparently is a name to monitor... Mannix also noted that perimeter bench scoring will be the Celtics' "priority" in the free-agent and trade markets. Teams can start negotiating with free agents at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, which means we should see more player movement as teams look to revamp their rosters ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Centers · DeAndre Ayton, Phoenix Suns · Jusuf Nurkic, Portland Trail Blazers · Kevon Looney, Golden State Warriors.

Like his teammate Porter Jr., Payton II's play in the postseason likely earned him a long-term deal that the Warriors won't be able to offer him. Brown could also be heading to a new team as he parlays his strong play in Brooklyn into a significant pay raise. Ayton is seeking a max deal and the Phoenix Suns seem ready to move on from the 23-year-old big man after drafting him No. 1 overall four years ago.

It wasn't free agency. technically, that bit Brooklyn, but on Thursday Kevin Durant issued a trade request. Once Durant goes, Kyrie Irving will likely follow.

If he does it wouldn't be the worst thing to go to a Nets team that is still going to be pretty good this year with whatever they get back for Durant with a ton of picks to get even better in the coming years to build around Booker. Life is good. What this comes down to is whether the Lakers can find a way to land Kyrie Irving. If they do, the offseason is a win. Listen, good for Brunson, but I just don't think he's a good enough player to commit this kind of money to for the next four years. They could've exercised the $1.9 million team option they had in place for Dort this season. Also, good on the Thunder for rewarding Dort with this money a year before they had to. They finally conceded to reality and recently traded Dejounte Murray to the Hawks for a bunch of first-round picks, signaling a fresh start. Simple: Simons doesn't have to be the best player on the Blazers. He's got Damian Lillard for that. So why do I think the $100M Portland gave Simons over four years is a win but consider the $105M that the Knicks gave Brunson over the same amount of time to be a loss? For a guy who was taken in the second round in 2018, this is a windfall. James Harden hasn't signed his new contract yet, but he obviously agreed to give up enough annual salary for the Sixers to afford P.J. Tucker, whom they signed for just over $33 million over three years. Brunson is set for life, and the icing on the cake is het gets to play for his father, Rick Brunson, who recently accepted an assistant coaching position with the Knicks. On to the signings.

The free agency period is officially underway. The Sporting News has you covered as we track each team's activity right here.

The fit is a little odd, but this isn't the gross overpay that many are making it out to be. The Brunson contract has been met largely with derision, and it's understandable on some level. Tucker played well for the Heat last season, but he's already 37 years old. Perhaps the Magic signed Bamba to try and move him down the road. The team didn't miss a beat when Ja Morant was out thanks to the heady play of Jones. The idea of him as a stretch big who can block some shots is extremely valuable. He's also one of the smarter defenders in the league. Mills fulfilled a vital role for the Nets last season. Tate is one of the better young players that you've never heard of. Bagley had a great draft pedigree as one of the best high school recruits in the country and the no. Brown is still sort of young -- He'll be 23 to start the season. Claxton is a young big who can move decently on the perimeter and protect the rim well.

Nikola Jokic agreed to the biggest contract in NBA history, Bradley Beal agreed to a deal worth a quarter-billion dollars, and the money just kept flowing.

Tucker agreed Thursday to a three-year deal with the 76ers for $33 million. McGee has played for eight NBA teams and is heading to Dallas for a second time; he played 34 games there in 2015-16. Anfernee Simons, who had a breakout season for the injury-plagued Portland Trail Blazers last year — taking advantage of his opportunity, and then some — agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract to remain with that club. Bobby Portis (four years, $49 million) is returning to Milwaukee, and the Bucks are adding veteran guard Joe Ingles as well. The Magic are also keeping center Mo Bamba on a two-year deal. The minimum team salary level is $111.29 million and the exceptions were set as wel. He had earned about $6 million, total, in his four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and saw his value soar by averaging 21.6 points in 18 playoff games this past season. The non-taxpayer mid-level is $10.49 million, taxpayer mid-level is $6.479 million, and the mid-level for a team with room under the cap is $5.401 million. All those moves, even the biggest-money ones, were overshadowed by a piece of non-free-agent news that came earlier Thursday when Kevin Durant, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation, told the Brooklyn Nets that he wanted a trade. Morant will sign his first rookie extension, one that'll be worth at least $193 million and could reach the $230 million range, according to Tandem Sports, which represents him. Shortly after midnight Friday in the Eastern time zone, three more players — Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker and Ja Morant — also agreed to huge-money extensions. The final number may go up slightly depending on what the league's salary cap is going into the '23-24 season and if it exceeds current projections.

LaVine and Harden are perhaps the biggest names that remain unsigned. Brown could also be heading to a new team as he parlays his strong play in Brooklyn into a significant pay raise.

Nikola Jokić, Bradley Beal, Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker and Ja Morant all agreed to splashy deals on the first night of NBA free agency.

Anfernee Simons, who had a breakout season for the injury-plagued Portland Trail Blazers last year – taking advantage of his opportunity, and then some – agreed to a four-year, $100m contract to remain with that club. He had earned about $6m, total, in his four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and saw his value soar by averaging 21.6 points in 18 playoff games this past season. The cap is $123.655m, the tax level is $150.267m. The minimum team salary level is $111.29m and the exceptions were set as well.

Grade: A Grade: A Grade: A Grade: A This is also a nice payday for Jones, still only 26 years old, that will allow him to hit the market again while he’s still in his prime. This is a nice pay raise for Portis, and a good decision to stick with Giannis and a fan base that loves him. Isaiah Hartenstein, New York Knicks agree to two-year, $16 million deal, per Shams: Hartenstein was incredibly productive on a per-minute basis last year with the Clippers. He provides great rim protection on defense, and connective passing and efficient finishing on offense. Tucker is older now — he’ll be 37 all season — and looked like he was slowing down recently before having a really impressive season last year in Miami. This feels like a lot of money for someone his age, but Joel Embiid had mentioned adding someone like Tucker by name, and Philly is all-in on the present. Robinson certainly has the talent to live up to this deal, but there’s also a chance this looks like an overpay in the future. Harris quietly had something of a return to form season last year as a three-and-D wing. It will be fascinating to see if he can keep improving with a bigger workload now that he’s away from Doncic. We’re skeptical this move changes a ton for the Knicks in the big picture sense, but the deal covers Brunson’s prime years and he’s a solid bet to be productive, if not an absolute superstar. He had a major bounce back year for Golden State this past season, and it will be fascinating to see if he can stay healthy and engaged in a different environment.

It’s nice that they kept Nic Claxton and Patty Mills on Thursday … but things are about to fall very much apart even if they end up with a decent roster by the end of the summer. But the Hawks are better after the Dejounte Murray trade. And now, he’s got another $33.2 million coming his way in the next three years from Philly, thanks to his old Rockets GM Daryl Morey. He’s already got a ring from the Bucks in 2021. A top contender playing things very smart. Yeah, it was a lot.

Keep up with the latest news and reports from around the league as the offseason rolls along.

New Orleans Pelicans big man Zion Williamson and the team are nearing an agreement on a five-year, $231 million extension, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic. Williamson played in 24 games as a rookie, then 65 games in his second year — and zero games this season, when the Pelicans overcame a 1-12 start to finish 36-46, then win two Play-In Tournament games and make the playoffs. The deal is worth at least $193 million and potentially up to $231 million. Last season he averaged 8.5 ppg, 8.6 rpg and 1.8 bpg and has averaged 2.0 bpg or more in two of his first four NBA seasons. The Toronto Raptors have re-signed Thaddeus Young to a contract extension, the team announced Friday. Last season, he averaged 6.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg with Toronto after being acquired from the San Antonio Spurs at the trade deadline. Dallas is keeping reserve swingman Theo Pinson, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, after he and the Mavs agreed to a one-year deal. The Toronto Raptors have added some 3-point shooting and defense to their mix, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Swingman Otto Porter Jr. has agreed to a two-year deal with the Raptors after playing a vital role on the Golden State Warriors’ championship team last season. Chicago got off to a big start and finished with its best record since the 2014-15 team went 50-32 in former coach Tom Thibodeau’s final season. The Sacramento Kings have picked up a 3-point shooter and young talent in Kevin Huerter via a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, per multiple reports. Brogdon signed with the Pacers as a free agent in 2018 but has struggled with injuries since joining Indiana. Last season, he was limited to 36 games, but he enjoyed a career-best scoring season (19.1 ppg) while also posting 5.1 rpg, 5.9 apg and shooting 44.8% overall. He posted 5.8 ppg and 7.6 rpg in the playoffs and 5.0 ppg and 7.5 rpg in the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Free agent Nemanja Bjelica is leaving the Golden State Warriors to play in Turkey with Fenerbahce, per reports. Utah acquired a 2023 first-round pick from the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday in exchange for Royce O’Neale. Gobert has been a perennial All-Star with averages of 15 points and 13.9 rebounds over the last three seasons.

The 2021-22 season and NBA Draft are both in the books, and now all eyes are on the start of free agency. The NBA has reportedly told teams the salary cap for next season is projected to be set at $123.6 million, up $11.6 million from last year's $112 million cap figure. The speculation and rumors that surround free agency are what make this time of the year truly entertaining.

As of Thursday evening, teams and players could officially begin negotiating new contracts. However, NBA fans didn't have to wait that long for some major news.

The 2022 NBA free agency period opened Thursday night, and things have gotten wild on the trade front. Rudy Gobert now plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

If he does it wouldn't be the worst thing to go to a Nets team that is still going to be pretty good this year with whatever they get back for Durant with a ton of picks to get even better in the coming years to build around Booker. Life is good. What this comes down to is whether the Lakers can find a way to land Kyrie Irving. If they do, the offseason is a win. Listen, good for Brunson, but I just don't think he's a good enough player to commit this kind of money to for the next four years. Also, good on the Thunder for rewarding Dort with this money a year before they had to. For a guy who was taken in the second round in 2018, this is a windfall. They finally conceded to reality and recently traded Dejounte Murray to the Hawks for a bunch of first-round picks, signaling a fresh start. Simple: Simons doesn't have to be the best player on the Blazers. He's got Damian Lillard for that. So why do I think the $100 million Portland gave Simons over four years is a win but consider the $104 million that the Knicks gave Brunson over the same amount of time to be a loss? I'm not sure if this is a win yet for the Pelicans. If Zion plays and stays healthy for the majority of this contract, of course, it's a win. It will have to be to justify this steep of a price, but it's worth the risk. I think Brunson was worth more money on the Mavericks next to Luka than he'll be worth in New York. I would've liked to see the Mavericks go after Brogdon after losing Brunson. He was the second-best player on a team that went to the conference finals, and at times served as a more-than-capable go-to guy when Luka Doncic was out.

Rudy Gobert has been traded by the Utah Jazz to the Minnesota for a huge package of players and draft picks while Zach LaVine will re-sign with Bulls.

Nurkic just completed his eighth NBA season, the last six of those coming with the Trail Blazers, for whom he averaged 15 points and 11.1 rebounds this past season. Yet his relationship with All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell was always scrutinized and a series of disappointing playoff exits led to the annual question of whether the two could coexist on a title-contending team. Gallinari was sent to San Antonio this week in a trade that brought All-Star guard Dejounte Murray to Atlanta. —Forward Danilo Gallinari, according to a person familiar with his decision, intends to sign a two-year deal with the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics — once his waiving by the San Antonio Spurs is completed. Rudy Gobert has been traded by the Utah Jazz to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a massive package of players and draft picks, a person with knowledge of the blockbuster deal said. Minnesota struck the deal less than 24 hours after coming to an agreement on a $224-million, four-year extension with Towns, who is now under contract for the next six years.

With the first 24 hours of NBA free agency in the books, we examined the winners and losers from a wild Day 1 of signings, trades and extensions.

Former Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo, who finished last season with the Kings, is signing a two-year deal with the Warriors. An ankle injury from the 2021 ...

Brunson, 25, has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $104 million deal with a player option for the final season. Huerter averaged 12.1 PPG on 45.4% from the floor in 29.6 minutes per game last season. Brogdon averaged 19.1 PPG, 5.9 APG and 5.1 RPG in 36 games last season. The team also opened $10.1 million in cap space in the deal. Ingles, who finished this past season with the Trail Blazers following an eight-year run with the Jazz, has agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Bucks. The guard-forward averaged 7.2 points, and 3.5 assists per game in 2021-22. Gobert joins newly resigned Karl-Anthony Towns to form a formidable frontcourt in Minnesota. After playing a season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Malik Monk has agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Sacramento Kings. Andre Drummond, who's jumped around the NBA a lot the past two seasons, has agreed to a two-year, $6.6 million deal with the Bulls. The emerging guard just averaged career highs in points (16.3), assists (4.8) and rebounds (3.9) in his fourth season with the Mavericks. Gary Payton II, who was re-signed by the Warriors last year after clearing waivers and went on to help the team with the title, is set to sign a three-year deal with the Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old guard averaged 7.1 points in 17.6 minutes in his sixth season. Guard Bruce Brown, a strong perimeter defender who averaged more than a steal per game last season, has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Denver Nuggets. Ricky Rubio has agreed to a three-year, $18.4 million deal to return to the Cavaliers.
