The age of the NBA super team seems to be coming to an end for the time being. With the Denver Nuggets clinching the 2023 title, the league has seen five different teams win championships in the past five years, the longest run of new blood at the top of the NBA since six different teams between 1980–1975. The teams won it. In a league that feels wide open, championships really can be won or lost in free agency. These are at stake as players will hit the open market from June 30.
The Nuggets made a key signing to help them win the championship last summer when they reached an agreement with free agent guard Bruce Brown. Denver also made a significant trade, landing Kentavius Caldwell-Pope from the Wizards for Monte Morris and Will Barton. The 2024 champion could be determined by the team that makes the smartest offseason moves, and an attractive class of free agents is ready to be dissected.
This year’s free agent crop includes a strong group of big-name veterans at the top of the list, and there’s also plenty of young players available for the future. James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green and Khris Middleton are all set to hit the open market, but each is expected to remain with his club. Be sure to check out our list of the top-75 free agents in the league this summer. Fred VanVleet and Kyle Kuzma could be among the biggest names to switch teams.
We’ll be tracking every NBA free agency signing in 2023 with this post.
