The NBA Draft is in the books and while the 30 NBA franchises prep their new young additions for Summer League in Las Vegas, a slew of big-name NBA veterans could be on the move in free agency. The 2024 class is headlined by the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James, who just posted the best numbers in league history for a player in his age-39 season, with averages of 25.7 points, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game on 54% shooting in 71 games played. On the second day of the NBA Draft, James got more incentive to stay with the Lakers when the club drafted his son Bronny with the No. 55 overall pick in the second round. The 4-time NBA MVP has said for years that he’d like the opportunity to play with his eldest son before retiring.
Clippers two-way All-Star wing Paul George is also an unrestricted free agent and could field offers from multiple suitors, including Philadelphia, which is likely to re-sign restricted free agent guard Tyrese Maxey (this season’s Most Improved Player).
