The National Basketball Association free agency period starts today, and already the winners and losers are clear before the bell rings for the official start of negotiations at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT.
Durant will sign a four-year, $164 million deal, while Irving will sign for four years and $141 million. Durant planned to make his formal announcement this afternoon on the Instagram account of The Boardroom, his company’s media network.Any deals agreed to must wait until July 6 to be formally signed and completed.
The big remaining prize in the free agent marketplace is Kahwi Leonard, the forward who led the Toronto Raptors to this year’s NBA title. Leonard is meeting with four teams, with the Los Angeles Clippers the perceived leader, since he’s originally from the area. Toronto will have the last meeting with Leonard, though, in an attempt to sway him back into the fold and defend the title.
The biggest loser? Surprisingly, not the Golden State Warriors, who will still have Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, with Klay Thompson re-upping with them while he rehabs his serious ACL knee injury.
