How crazy will the free market be next summer? 10 All-Stars lead, and Zhanduha may change the league structure!

8:03am, 15 August 2025【Basketball】

On August 15, as all teams are reducing their spending, many teams now have very flexible salary space. As for tomorrow summer, there will be 9 teams with huge salary space, including the Clippers and the Lakers. In this case, it is estimated that in order to become stronger, they will choose to sign or leave the right players. And in the summer, more than 10 All-Star players will enter the free market. Let’s see who they all have.

James

James did not get a contract extension, which is probably something that many fans did not expect. After all, the Lakers have always been the leader of James in the past few years, but now with Doncic, James is already an old love. A veteran who is 41 years old next season is destined to not be trusted by the team. However, with James' football quotient and maintaining his condition, I think he will still be the top 20 players in the league next season, which can greatly help the team.

Durant

Durant does not rule out that Durant will renew his contract with the team in the near future, but judging from the news now, the Rockets are not in a hurry to renew his contract. The team will look at the situation. The reason why the Rockets do this is to reduce Durant's salary and renew his contract, and on the other hand, they want to see Durant's status. After all, he is 37 years old and has suffered a serious injury, so the Rockets are also cautious. Of course, Durant also has selfish intentions. If the team does not meet expectations, he probably will leave tomorrow summer.

Harden

Harden signed a two-year contract of 80 million this summer. The second year's player option is only 13 million. In this case, Harden is likely to jump out of the contract and re-sign with the Clippers. It is also possible that the Clippers will give up on him and prepare for the 27-year signing. However, even if Harden leaves the team, there will still be a team interested in him. After all, he is one of the strongest players in the active team leadership ability, and he can bring good improvement to the team.

Van Jordan

Van Jordan signed a two-year contract of 50 million. In the second year's player option, Van Jordan signed this contract to help the Rockets. If Durant is willing to stay for a long time and the team has achieved an ideal record, Van Jordan doesn't mind another salary cut. Of course, if Durant leaves the team, Van Jordan may increase his contract renewal offer, and he may also leave the team because of the big contract given by other teams.

Trey Young

Trey Young is still very angry. He was able to win a four-year and 200 million contract extension this summer. As a result, the Hawks did not discuss the contract renewal with him. Therefore, Tray Young was also a little disappointed with the team. He was a player option next summer. If the Hawks did not renew the contract, he might jump out of the contract and join a team that could renew his contract with him. Although Tray Young was not good at defense, he was one of the best major core players in the active service.

Porzingis

Hawks got Porzingis through a trade. The reason why they did not renew their contract for Trae Young was probably for the desperate attempt next season. Porzingis is a complete free agent tomorrow. If these two former All-Stars can lead the Hawks to achieve good results, they will probably get a contract renewal. If not, Poorzingis and Trae Young will probably be covered and left. It would be useless to lead the team to achieve results and keep them.

Zhu Meng Green

Zhu Meng has player options. Although he may not leave, he actually has player options. This choice cannot be ruled out. Zhu Meng is entering the end of his career. Although he still has good defensive ability, it is estimated that the Warriors will not renew his contract with him. If other teams are willing to give him a big retirement contract, if it is for the future family, I think Zhu Meng won't mind. After all, it is all for life. Even if he retires now, the Warriors will give him a jersey.

LaVin

LaVin will be a player option in the offseason. To be honest, I think he may be very likely to execute, because this may be the big contract for LaVin's last year. Everyone has seen his performance in the past few years. Although the data is good, the team cannot win the ball. Moreover, his operational control is so bad that his teammates' mood often affects his low-level mistakes. I think the King will try his best to send him away. Now he wants to send him away, but he has no transaction value.

Bill

Bill signed a two-year contract of 12 million yuan with the Clippers. Everyone knows his abilities and is definitely not worth the price. It is because signing a buyout contract with the Suns has made the Clippers successfully find the bargain. He is the player option in the offseason, and Bill is probably waiting and watching. If Harden finally chooses to leave the team, he will most likely not stay. After all, if he wants a mini-middle class, there will be more than 20 teams in the league willing to give him a big contract.

Dalou

Dalou and the Clippers signed a two-year contract with the second year team option. I think the Clippers will also wait and see how their record in the new season is. If they are ideal enough, Bill and Harden will probably not leave. As long as Dalu performs to meet expectations, the Clippers will also keep him. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
