The NBA’s moratorium period ended this weekend, and teams can now officially sign contracts with players with whom they have agreed to terms in the previous week. It’s been a lengthy week of headlines that rattled the NBA structure, with some teams making significant trades and others struggling during the most important week of the summer.
We watched large money agreements being tossed out like candy on Halloween, with veterans like LeBron James and Paul George signing $50 million-plus contracts. The largest contract was signed by OG Aninoby, who received a five-year deal worth $212 million dollars. Pascal Siakam signed a four-year contract worth slightly over $200 million dollars.
While the players who are about to sign these contracts are undoubtedly thrilled, how will it affect their teams? Who wins and loses in free agency?
