It looks like the time of the NBA super team is over for now. After the Denver Nuggets won the championship in 2023, five different teams have won it in the last five years. This is the longest stretch of new teams at the top of the NBA since six different teams won it between 1980 and 1975. In a game that seems totally open, championships can really be won or lost in free agency. When players hit the open market on June 30, these are the stakes.

When they signed free agent guard Bruce Brown last summer, the Nuggets did something important that helped them win the title. Denver also made a big move by getting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from the Wizards for Monte Morris and Will Barton. This was a big deal. The 2024 winner could be the team that makes the best moves during the offseason. There are a lot of interesting free agents to look at.

At the top of this year’s list of free agents is a strong group of big-name stars. There are also a lot of young players with a lot of potential. James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, and Khris Middleton will all be free agents soon, but they are all expected to stay with their current teams. Check out our list of the league’s top 75 free agents this summer. Fred VanVleet and Kyle Kuzma could be two of the most famous players to switch teams.
