Tracking All the NBA Free Agency Moves From the First 5 Days
The NBA free agent market opened last Thursday before our holiday break. The first five days have seen a lot of players re-sign max deals with their current teams, leaving little excitement in the form of new stars in new uniforms. That could change soon, though. A few top-tier targets are still available, and the trade rumors out of Brooklyn are spicing up the markets for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic solidified his future with the Nuggets by inking the richest contract in NBA history. We’re far from done with the free-agent whirlwind. Here’s the latest:
