NBA free agency 2022 - Projected salaries for every free agent

Which players are available in the 2022 NBA free-agent class, and how much money are they expected to command?

It's easy to project a max contract for Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal, the best player in free agency. But what about the other starters and rotation players waiting to sign new deals?

Here are the complete lists of the salary ranges for each free agent along with their likely roles, broken down by position.

One important note: These projections are for starting salaries if a player signs a long-term deal. Players certainly could sign one-year deals for significantly more money than projected.

We've also included a breakdown of the general ranges for max salaries and cap exceptions.
