Who are the NBA free agents to watch in 2024 and 2025? Most superstars have signed long-term extensions with their current teams, shrinking the list of available stars for the teams with cap space this summer. The days leading up to free agency have also seen players like Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby agree to remain with their current teams.
Still, 2024 could be transformative in Los Angeles, with LeBron James and Paul George potentially becoming free agents this summer.
Looking ahead to 2025, stars such Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell hold player options that teams will be monitoring very closely.
Key: restricted = restricted free agent; player = player option; team = team option; ETO = early termination option
