The NBA offseason is in full swing, with players moving around and teams trying to keep their key players. The new collective bargaining agreement has made it harder for teams to sign new stars in free agency, so teams are focusing on retaining their current players.
After the Dallas Mavericks made it to the 2024 NBA Finals as a No. 5 seed in the Western Conference, but lost to the Boston Celtics, teams are looking to make moves to improve their rosters for next season.
Some big contracts have already been signed in free agency:
– Scottie Barnes signed a five-year rookie extension with the Toronto Raptors worth up to $270 million, making him the highest-paid player in Raptors history.
– OG Anunoby signed a five-year, $212.5 million extension with the New York Knicks.
– Jamal Murray signed a four-year, $209 million extension with the Denver Nuggets.
– Nic Claxton signed a four-year, $100 million deal to stay with the Brooklyn Nets.
These signings show the commitment of teams to their players and the value they place on keeping their core players together. It will be interesting to see what other moves teams make in free agency to improve their chances for the next season.
