NBA: 10 biggest Free Agency winners (pre-KD trade edition)
By Dan Knitzer
Ahead of the possible blockbuster trade featuring Kevin Durant, we explore the mild and big winners of NBA Free Agency.
DeAndre Ayton, Collin Sexton, and other of the NBA’s restricted free agents of note are waiting on the massive shadow Kevin Durant’s trade request casts on the league.
Most teams in the league placed a call about his availability, meaning their efforts are less focused on signing some of the unrestricted free agents, too. If the Brooklyn Nets trade Durant, it will massively change the configuration of the league, to say nothing of whatever happens with the circus act that has defined Kyrie Irving’s career.
Putting these to-be-determined moves aside, it’s important to acknowledge the teams that made savvy free agency signings and roster moves since the draft.
