The NBA free agency period officially begins on June 30, with several high-profile players expected to reshape team rosters in pursuit of championship glory. LeBron James, James Harden, and Julius Randle have opted against entering free agency, while others like Myles Turner and Al Horford stand out as available unrestricted free agents. The guard market features Chris Paul, Tyus Jones, and Josh Giddey as top options.

Notably, DeAndre Ayton is finalizing a buyout with the Portland Trail Blazers, becoming a key free-agent target after averaging 15.7 points and 10.6 rebounds over two seasons with the team. As the free agency date approaches, excitement builds for potential signings and trades, with updates expected to flow in rapidly.
