NBA free agency begins Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, but a number of stars have already made some big-money moves.
Despite speculation of a sign-and-trade deal, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving opted into his $36.5 million player option for the 2022-23 season. But although his decision removes the possibility of Irving leaving the Nets via free agency this summer, questions will continue to surround his future in Brooklyn.
John Wall, who was slated to make $47.4 million after exercising his player option with the Houston Rockets, has reached a buyout with the team and plans to join the LA Clippers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon.
