NBA free agency has arrived. LeBron James, Paul George and Klay Thompson are among the players expected to agree to new deals in the coming hours and days, and there will be plenty of other moves to keep an eye on. Free agents can negotiate with any team starting at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, and we should see a deluge of deals shortly after free agency opens. James Harden became the first star to agree to a new contract on Sunday as he reportedly re-upped with the Clippers on a two-year, $70 million contract.
Recent days have shaped what we should expect. James is expected to sign a new deal with the Lakers (who drafted his son in the second round days after hiring his former podcast cohost as their head coach). LeBron, however, could take a discount to give L.A. more money for other moves. All indications are Thompson is on his way out in Golden State. The Warriors legend helped the team win four championships across his 13 seasons, and Thompson is reportedly interested in joining the Lakers or Mavericks.
George, however, appears to be the best player who will change teams in free agency. The All-Star forward did not come to a new agreement with the Clippers as the two sides had a meeting Sunday night that ended without either side budging. The Clippers released a statement saying George would be signing with another team. The 76ers are now considered the front-runners to land George.
