NBA Free Agency officially kicks off tomorrow, July 1st (same day as the FlurrySports 1-year anniversary!). The opening day of NBA Free Agency is often one of the most exciting days in sports of the year. Big name players are swapping teams to the tune of insane amounts of cash. Remember when that Mike Conley deal went down? The announcement of that contract almost broke Twitter!
As we hypothesize where these big names will go, who our favorite teams will get, and where the next super team will be created, it’s nice to know who exactly is available. Luckily for you, that’s what I did below. Here are the top-10 available players at each position this NBA Free Agency, along with a couple stats from last season.
