After roughly 72 hours of digesting and evaluating the 2021 NBA Draft, all eyes in The Association now turn to the players who were once considered draft prospects and are now deemed free agents. At 5:00pm CST later today, 2021 NBA Free Agency officially kicks off, which means teams and players can finally connect to discuss deals, dollars, and various other details (wait, they already started talking about this stuff before today? But that’s illegal!)
While this year’s free agent class might not include uber elite names like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or Giannis Antetokounmpo, it still has plenty of talented All-Stars at the top, including players like Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, and Kyle Lowry.
