The NBA free agency frenzy is almost here. Which stars will be on the move, and which teams will turn themselves into contenders for 2023-24?
Several players — such as Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid — have already opted into their contracts, taking them off the board for prospective teams looking to shake up their rosters.
But the NBA could look vastly different when stars such as the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard, Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden, Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook and Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving make decisions on their future.
The league's free agency negotiation period officially begins at 6 p.m. ET Friday, ahead of the league's annual moratorium period beginning Saturday at midnight ET.
