The 2024 NBA offseason has officially begun, with the Boston Celtics beating the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals. Unlike previous years, the league’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement allows teams to negotiate with their players immediately after the final game of the season. This applies to players who are scheduled to become free agents in July or who are eligible for contract extensions, meaning NBA free agency has already begun.
Keep in mind that players cannot negotiate with teams other than the one they finished last season with until June 30th at 6pm ET, and contracts cannot be signed until the moratorium ends (July 6th at 12:01pm ET).
There has already been some news in this area. LeBron James is at the top of the rankings. I decided to resign. CBS Sports’ Bill Leiter confirmed that he is in the final year of his contract with the Lakers, but is expected to sign a new deal with the team. Both James and Paul George are unrestricted free agents and can sign with any team that has the necessary cap space, but they don’t have a chance to match up with their current teams.
Will LeBron leave the Lakers? Probably not. LA drafted my son.Bronny could end up being the 55th pick in the 2024 draft, which is not impossible, while George is a big threat to leave Los Angeles but has drawn growing interest from the Philadelphia 76ers.
