LeBron, Harden and Duren Lead 2026 Free-Agent Sweepstakes
NBC Sports’ roundup of 15 top remaining 2026 NBA free agents is published the day before free agency opens, detailing each player's status (restricted, player option, etc.) and likely contract paths, with marquee names LeBron James, James Harden and Jalen Duren at the center of the market; several big signings have already occurred (Austin Reaves, Trae Young, Isaiah Hartenstein), but a large group of top targets—including Powell, Hachimura, Wiggins, Harris, Smart, Collins, Porzingis, Green and Mathurin—still remain on the board as teams navigate cap space and potential sign-and-trade moves.
