2025 NBA Free Agency Live Tracker: updates, news, voices, best players, purchases, exchanges

Oklahoma City has set the bar and the chase to beat them – or at least the race towards respectability – on Monday it becomes serious with the official start of the NBA free agency and the peak of the NBA commercial season.

Not that every team has waited – Kevin Durant is now a houston rocket And I’m all-in to win next season. Desmond Bane is already in Orlandowhere he is underestimated with an emerging magical team.

Starting from Monday at 18:00, on an oriental level, the teams are officially allowed to start talking to free agents (although, in the world tampering with the NBA, if a team is not already at least two thirds with the free agency when it starts, I am behind). In this tracker, we will give you all the last signatures, exchanges, voices and relationships all in one place (all in order of when I happened, with the most recent news at the top). This is a short synopsis with initial thoughts on any agreement; Follow the connections to view a more detailed analysis.

Lakers interested in Ayton

Everyone in the championship know that the Lakers are looking for a paint protection center to play Luka Doncic, which is why when Los Angeles contacted the teams to start commercial discussions, there seems to be a premium that is asked to pay.

In the free agency, the Lakers were connected to the aging of Brook Lopez and the former center of Hawks Clint Capela. Now, after his buyout in Portland, Add Deandre Ayton to the list, Dan Woike reports to Athletic. This should not be a surprise, the Lakers need a great and Ayton – for all its defects – is a better solution than the clip. Lopez can be the main target: he sets a good choice and can roll on the edge or burst for a 3-pointer (37.3% from over last season) and is the best defender of the group also at the age of 37. The Lakers have full $ 14.1 million at medium -level dollars to launch to their next center, although ideal, they would like to divide into a pair of players.

That exception will not be enough to report Dorian Finney-Smith, who has just rejected his contract from $ 15.4 million for the next season. The Lakers expect to lose it with the rockets, reports Woike.

Knicks, king, pepper interested in Westbrook

Russell Westbrook refused his 3.5 million dollar option, making him a free agent and giving himself control over where he plays the next one …

But it could still be Denver. The nugget, as well as the Knicks and kings, are interested in Westbrook, Reports Marc Stein and Jake Fischer at the Stein line. I doubt that Westbrook chooses sacrament (although they can offer the greatest role and if they pay in excess, it may have to take it into consideration). We know how much Westbrook played alongside Nikola Jokic, but his role and money would have been very similar to what he earned a year ago. How would Westbrook adapts to the Knicks system? Well, this would have presumed that they had a coach and we knew their system. In New York, Westbrook would come out of the bench and played next to Miles “Two” McBride, and this, in addition to being part of a contending team in the East, could affect Westbrook. It’s all just something to look at.

Warriors connected to Al Horford

A couple of new relationships have connected the center of free agents to the Horford to the Golden State Warriors (Anthony Slater at Athletic is one). There is a logical fit there, the Warriors are best with Draymond Green at the five, but he cannot play full -time, so they turn to Kevon Looney. Horford, with his ability to defend himself in the paint and perimeter, is a perfect stylistic fit for Golden State, playing Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

However, making it working is not easy, as Slater explained:

If Warriors use the average level exception of taxpayers (scheduled for about $ 5.7 million) on Horford or another free agent, they will be beaten in the second apron, currently expected to $ 207.8 million. Warriors currently have nine players under contract at $ 170.5 million. The qualification offer of Kuminga, extended during the weekend by the Warriors, is $ 7.9 million, but his Hold Cap is $ 22.9 million, further clogging the warriors’ books if his situation drags more deeply in July.

Kuminga is another thing that this tracker will be updated live in the next few days.

Clippers, Nicolas Batum accepts the New Deal

For a player who scored 4 points per game and with an average of less than 18 minutes a night, it is difficult to overestimate what Nicolas Batum means for the clippers. He establishes their bench units, provides necessary leadership and is suitable for how clippers want to play.

This is the reason why the clippers are giving him as much as possible affair with his non-birds-$ 11.5 million in two years-to return, a story broken by Shams Charania by Espn.

Also with this agreement and the team that re-function James Harden, the Clippers are $ 8.5 million below the luxury tax line, offering them the flexibility of bringing a player to the entire average level exception ($ 14.1 million) or making bold trade. Keep an eye on this team, they are in the middle of many voices in the championship.

Jazz, Jordan Clarkson accepts the buyout

Add Jordan Clarkson to the list of free agents.

Clarkson scored on average 16.2 points per game last season while shooting 36.2% from 3 and wanted to be moved by a contender, but there was no commercial market due to his $ 14.3 million contract. Hence, jazz and Clarkson agreed a contract purchase, Shams Charania reports by Espn. With this buyout – where Clarkson is definitely giving a discount to jazz, how much we don’t know – becomes a free agent. There will be the interest of the playoffs teams who want to add a little counter score, he didn’t want to do it at the price that was paid. Now expect a medium-longtime contract of taxpayers ($ 5.7 million) or not.

The networks report Dayron Sharpe, Auntire Williams

Keeping all five their choices of the first round this year, Brooklyn’s networks are leaning strongly for youth and reconstruction. With this, the nets made a couple of moves before the opening of the free agency on Monday.

First of all, the great man Dayron Sharpe are reporting. This is a player to whom the nets have not extended a qualified offer, making it a free agent without restrictions. However, the parties agreed a contract of $ 12 million two years, a story annoyed by Shams Charania by Espn. Sharpe scored on average 7.9 points and, 6.6 bounces a game for the goals last season.

Secondly, the nets are signing the Aunt Aunto Williams again with a two -year contract of $ 12 million, Charania reports. Last season, Williams started more than half of the goals of the goals and scored 10 points and 4.6 rebounds per night on average.
