NBA Free Agency 2024: Tracking the Top 30 Players
The offseason for the 2024 NBA Finals champions, the Boston Celtics, has finally arrived. On Sunday night at 6 p.m. ET, NBA free agency will officially kickoff, allowing players to negotiate deals with teams other than the one they finished with last season. While contracts cannot be signed until the moratorium ends on July 6 at 12:01 p.m. ET, it’s already time to start tracking the top 30 free agents of this offseason and their potential landing spots.
One of the most highly anticipated free agent signings this year is LeBron James, who is expected to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. After leading the team to four championships in his previous stint there, James has expressed a desire to return and continue his legacy with the franchise he first joined in 2009. However, if he decides to leave, other potential destinations include the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat.
Another big name in free agency is Klay Thompson, who opted out of his contract with the Golden State Warriors after an injury-plagued season that saw him miss out on another championship run. The Warriors have expressed interest in re-signing him for a long-term deal, but Thompson may choose to explore other options such as joining a new contender or even returning home to Oakland with his hometown team, the Golden State Warriors.
Lastly, Paul George opted out of his contract with the LA Clippers and is now meeting with other teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic. George has been one of the top small forwards in recent years and could bring some much-needed scoring power to any team he lands on this offseason.
As NBA Free Agency gets underway, it’s important to keep track of all player movements during this period. With updates on agreements and terms being tracked as they happen, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive look at all things NBA Free Agency!
