The Denver Nuggets are the champs, the San Antonio Spurs have yet another franchise big man with Hall of Fame potential and, in a matter of days, free agency will be here. If you're not that psyched about that last part, though, you're not alone.
"Free agency doesn't happen anymore, really," Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri said in April. "The new free agency is players change teams [via trade]."
Ujiri is correct, in that star players have, in recent years, largely preferred to sign contract extensions or re-sign with their teams rather than touring the country to be wined and dined by potential new employers. They can make more money by doing it this way, and they can often get where they want by requesting a trade later if things don't work out.
Technically, though, free agency is not over. Not for Ujiri, whose team will have to deal with its starting point guard and center being unrestricted this offseason, nor for any of his fellow executives trying to add talent or trim payroll. There are even some pretty big names on the market this year, and some of them might actually change teams!
The Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons are "expected to make plays" for Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green in free agency, according to Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer.
On Monday, The Athletic's Sam Amick reported that adding Green and re-signing Jerami Grant was "known to be a dream scenario from [Damian] Lillard's vantage point." Amick noted that path would require the Blazers to complete a sign-and-trade with Golden State.
Blazers general manager Joe Cronin said Monday they "remain committed to building a winner around Dame" amid continued questions over the star's future. Landing Green would certainly be quite the sign of intent, though the odds seem low of that actually happening.
