July 16, 2021
newszetu

For a second consecutive offseason, the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic will have dueling effects on transactions. While free agency is expected to be at a slow crawl because of a lack of spending (there are only four teams with projected cap space), there will likely be plenty of trades leading up to the 2021 NBA draft on July 29, then even more when free agency opens the following week.

To help identify which teams will be the most active, we have a complete guide of players who are off the board, tradable contracts, draft assets and trade exceptions for all 30 teams.

Note: A player with an option cannot be traded until the option is exercised. For trade purposes, only the guaranteed portion of a partially guaranteed contract counts as outgoing salary.
