The NBA is preparing for a rather lackluster free agency period where, unlike previous seasons, money is not being tossed around left and right. Teams are a lot more conservative with their spending as a result of the apron penalties that exist, and this free agent class as a whole is extremely underwhelming.
LeBron James faced a major question with his $52.6 million player option, but he has exercised that option with the Los Angeles Lakers. While Rich Paul's comments on the move raised eyebrows about a possible trade, expect LeBron to be with the Lakers in 2025-26. Much of the same can be said with Kyrie Irving, who was a free agent for a matter of seconds before signing a new contract with the Dallas Mavericks.
Free agency officially begins on June 30, but there has already been some action. Between contract extensions and free agency deals being agreed upon, all of this summer's signings that you need to know will be updated below LIVE as they are reported.
