Hollinger: NBA buyout market tiers, led by John Wall, Gary Harris, Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragić

New York Times  

Editor’s note: This story will be updated as the players listed agree to buyouts with their respective teams or sign with new ones. With trade deadline drama behind us, there is still one act left in the NBA’s transaction season before we settle in for a charge to the playoffs: the buyout market. Sure, sometimes a team is better off securing a player’s rights rather than competing with multiple teams offering the same minimum deal, especially if said team isn’t in a glamour market. Enes Freedom, C, Houston – Thrown into Boston’s trade for Daniel Theis to keep Boston under the luxury tax, Enes Freedom was immediately waived by the Rockets and thus can “double-dip” if he signs someplace else, getting his full contract paid out by Houston and money from a new team. His non-guaranteed $7.5 million deal for next season wouldn’t seem to be a big part of Utah’s plans either, and a buyout could potentially save the tax-paying Jazz some more money if they fill his roster spot with spaced-apart 10-days.

New York Times  

NBA free-agency breakdown: Overall Top 25 | Point Guards | Shooting Guards | Small Forwards | Power Forwards We’ve saved the worst for last. Note the word plausible — I excluded Richaun Holmes, who isn’t declining his $12.9 million player option after barely playing last year, and the Warriors aren’t going to waive Kevon Looney’s team-friendly partially guaranteed deal. Hartenstein …

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2024 NBA trade deadline. Markelle Fultz, Orlando: If Orlando is going to do anything at the trade deadline, Fultz’s expiring $17 million deal would seem to factor in prominently.

Hollinger: Suns’ Jae Crowder trade dilemma; Grizzlies’ and Pacers’ deadline decisions

New York Times  

PHOENIX — A lot of teams could make a trade between now and the NBA trade deadline in fewer than three weeks. But how do you put together a matching contract in a Crowder deal when the Suns’ endgame is almost certainly to take back less money than his $10.18 million? That’s not a big deal when everybody has time, …

And now, we wait. Amazingly, every one of my top 20 free agents is already accounted for next season; while the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard technically hasn’t announced what he’s doing yet, his return seems a foregone conclusion. Beyond that crew, we’ll see some other players get minimum deals and biannual exception money, but the free-agent spending frenzy essentially ended once …

Hollinger on NBA free agency: The secondary market, with Nic Batum; Knicks worries

New York Times  

It’s NBA free agency time! Baynes used $7 million of Toronto’s mid-level exception, leaving just $2.2 million left over if they wanted to sign a younger player to a multi-year deal with their last roster spot. The deal appears to use the chunk of the mid-level exception that wasn’t taken up by Moe Harkless’s deal, at $5.7 million this year …

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — The first draft night for the Philadelphia 76ers under new president Daryl Morey led to a major shakeup for an organization chasing its first NBA title since 1983.
