In addition to KD, James and James Harden will also stir up the free market structure!

The NBA Finals are in full swing, and the title is still unknown, and there are many suspense. At the same time, the news of Durant being traded has been on the hot search list, causing a thousand waves. Before the finals started, Suns management put Kevin Durant on the trading shelves and opened inquiries to the league teams. What followed was a variety of trading rumors, and it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, and the trading market was instantly activated. According to authoritative journalist Sharania, the Rockets, Heat and Timberwolves are leading the battle for Durant. Suns management plans to complete the transaction before the June 26-27 draft, and the next company is expected to be generated among the above three companies.

In the trading market this summer, besides Durant, what other big fish are there in the free agent market?

The first big fish, James. In the summer of 2024, James and the Lakers signed a two-year contract with a total salary of US$104 million, US$49.98 million in the 2024-25 season, US$52.48 million in the 2025-26 game, and the second year is the player option. This summer, James will probably jump out of the player option and become a full free agent, and may renew his contract with the Lakers again. According to US News, James has the possibility of a salary cut and renewal. The move is designed to free up salary space for the team to help strengthen the lineup. If the team fails to strengthen the team during the offseason, James will not renew his salary and contract with the Lakers, or leave the Lakers in the absence of hope of competing for the championship and embark on the road to compete for the championship again.

The second big fish, James Harden. During the playoffs, news of Harden's contract renewal was rumored, not far behind Durant's deal. According to Ship Records, Harden will jump out of the player option and sign a two-year contract with the Clippers, which is on par with Leonard's contract. Another reporter reported that the Mavericks intend to sign Harden and offer a three-year, $130 million contract. At present, there is no official renewal of Harden and the Clippers. If the negotiations between the two sides break down, Harden may leave the Clippers and wander around the world.

Under the calm lake, with the opening of the trading market, various big fish are about to surface, causing thousands of waves. In addition to Durant, there are also James and James Harden in the trading market this summer, and perhaps other big fish are gradually emerging, igniting the trading market.
