post features 25 free agents who will announce the news in the coming days.
James Harden, SF (76ers)
Harden has $ 47.4 million players Optional for 2022-23, but when opt-in, Sixers will be used by free agents The intermediate level tax you can do is $ 6.5 million. ESPN reported on Wednesday that Hardenwould opt out and renegotiate with Philadelphiato increase team flexibility this summer.
Bradley Beal, SG (Wizards)
If Beal returns to Wizards with the biggest deal, it will be $ 251 million in five years. This is the biggest deal in league history. , And he can offer him much more than anyone else. If Wizards can get angry with that kind of money and Beer is happy with the club that was 12th at the Eastern Conference last season and there is no clear path to upward ballistic rights, it's in Washington. Staying will be a logical move now.
Zach LaVine, SG (Bulls)
LaVine says he plans to consider his options, but if he wants to maximize his salary, he has options. Limited. The Bulls can offer him $ 215 million for five years, an advantage of $ 55 million over any other team. The Bulls seemed to be able to build the duo of Ravien and Lonzo Ball, who led Chicago to a record of 27-13 before the ball was injured.
Jalen Brunson, PG (Mavericks)
Knickspushes all chips within winning Brunson and clearly sees the Villanova product as a franchise point guard. When free agents begin, they often have to do things that have failed in the last 20 years: continue to seduce marquee free agents to Madison Square Garden.
Deandre Ayton, C (Suns)
After Pistons refuses to trade with Ayton in the draft, the question is what happens to the former It will be. Selected as No. 1 in Limited Free Agents. Sands was able to offer him up to $ 179 million in the biggest deal, but he wasn't able to sign the biggest deal last October. If Eighton is in motion, hewill be an attractive asset for teams in need of the big guys.
Miles Bridges, Sci-Fi (Hornets)
Limited free agent Bridges to earn 20 points per game and then get a great payday from Charlotte It was lined up. Team scorers and starters who participated in last season's play-in tournament. However, the 24-year-oldwas reportedly arrested on Wednesday night in Los Angelesfor felony domestic violence. This can change the Hornets' view. Hornets is P. J. We also need to think about the extension of Washington.
Anfernee Simons, SG (Trail Blazers)
Limited free agent Simons is likely to re-contract with Portland. The future of the team. Blazers is C. J. After trading off McCallum, it's most important to maintain Simmons, who shot at least 40% from last season's 3-point range.
Jusuf Nurkić, C (Trail Blazers)
Nurkić is likely to re-contract with the Blazers, and Markstein reported that he was expected to do so. That's not surprising after a successful season with Nurukitchi averaging 15 points and 11.1 rebounds.
Kevon Looney, C (Warriors)
After playing all 82 games and proving himself in the playoffs, Looney gets a lot of payday on hits Will be an unlimited free agent. Their willingness to pay more luxury tax influences that calculation, which shows that the Warriors want to keep him.
Collin Sexton, SG (Cavaliers)
Sexton, the eighth overall in 2019, played only 11 games last season due to the defeat of the left meniscus. I didn't, but I still got an offer for qualifying. To make him a restricted free agent. It's still unclear if the Cavaliers still see him as part of their future, or just want to keep their options open, but Sexton averaged 24.3 in 2020-21. Proved that the points are worth it.
Victor Oladipo, San Francisco (heat)
{ 87 Oladipo bet himself in 2021 to decline the maximum extension from the Rockets. He tore the quad and ended up playing only eight games last season, so it didn't work. Now he may need to do so again, in a short-term deal to prove he can still produce at the All-Star level.Tyus Jones, PG (Grizzlies)
Hitting an unlimited number of free agents, Jones has the highest assist-to-turnover rate since 1977 (7). Had .0)-78, when sales were first tracked at the individual level according to ESPN Stats and Info. The Grizzlies have his bird rights and probably want to keep him as a stable backup for Ja Morant.
Donte DiVincenzo, SG (Kings)
Kings do not extend qualifying offers and free snipers unlimited despite trading with DiVincenzo's midseason ESPN reported that it was an agent. He was on average 10.3 points away from the Kings bench last season.
Gary Harris, SG (Magic)
Harris is a game that always brings value to the NBA today and struggled with the role he saw playing. .. He played 31 games from the bench for the worst Orlando team last season. The younger the Magic Gear, the more likely Harris is to jump the ship to a team that needs shooting.
Mohamed Bamba, C (Magic)
A key issue in Orlando's off-season is the drafting of Paolo Banchero, which makes Bamba a restricted free agent. Is it possible to leave it to me? Texas products averaged 10.6 points and 8.1 rebounds last season, but walking him opened up a cap space for GM John Hammond to run.
Gary Payton II, PG (Warriors)
The 29-year-old Warriors proved themselves by ranking second in the league in Steel. As a key defensive cog. After highlighting his career among the teams, Peyton needs to sign a multi-year contract, especially the Warriors, who retain his early bird rights.
Mitchell Robinson, C, (Knicks)
It's amazing to see Robinson leave the Knicks. Bleacher Report reported that he is likely to sign a four-year, $ 60 million agreement to remain on the team. Such a deal would be pinned to the previous second round pick as the long-term center of Knicks, preferably a pick and roll tandem with Branson.
Montrezl Harrell, C (Hornets)
At this point, there are few mysteries about what Harrell brings. The 28-year-old can fill off the bench in either large position, offer 10-15 points per game, compete on the board and contribute to the minutes of the playoffs.
Bobby Portis, C (Bucks)
As Bucks retains early bird rights, Portis jumps his salary to about $ 10 million a year. I see it. Bleacher Report reported on Wednesday that Portis could return to Bucks for more than $ 40 million in four years.
Nic Claxton, C (Nets)
Claxton has established itself as a competent center for the net with an average of 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds this season. did. Nets will have to impose a luxury tax anyway, but the cost of maintaining Claxton can be a deciding factor as to how steep it will be for owner Joe Tsai.
Marvin Bagley III, PF (Pistons)
Bagley came to Detroit on a four-team contract in February, but whether Pistons wants to keep him. Is an open issue with a restricted free agent.Detroit has already added Big Man, Jalen Duren, through the draft and was able to move forward one after another using what seems to be the most cap space in the league.
Kyle Anderson, PF (Grizzlies)
Anderson's production fell slightly last season, but he still got off the bench in 21.5 minutes. It is an excellent defensive player who has come. A game for last season's Western Conference finalists. If the Grizzlies, who hold Anderson's bird rights, try to bring him back, they will probably play the same role.
Patty Mills, PG (Nets)
Mills had $ 6.1 million player options next season when they opted out, Brian Lewis of The Post reported. It made him attractive in a short period of time-a term deal for teams in need of backup point guards — and let the nets seek help in that position.
Lonnie Walker IV, SG (Spurs)
When Walker enters the restricted free agent, the Spurs make their own decisions. Production at the age of 23 increased in the second half, but letting go of Walker without a qualified offer opens up a fair amount of cap space.
Otto Porter Jr. , PF (Warriors)
Porter's contribution from the bench for title winners — 56.0 eFG percentages 8.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game — he's a free agent with a decent reward obtain.
