NBA Free Agency to begin no later than early December

Dates are still uncertain due to the upcoming renegotiation of the CBA.

The NBPA expects free agency to begin on or around December 1st with the draft currently scheduled for November 18th, as confirmed by Executive Director Michele Roberts to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

“We can’t go much beyond” early December, Roberts told Charania. “We had a projected BRI, which I think teams appropriately planned for. I don’t think we can deviate much from where we projected the cap to be ($115 million, latest projection). It may not reflect what people think is the likely BRI, but since I’m of the view this game is not dead and it will rebound, we can do some things with the cap to allow for a free market and not completely destroy what the teams were expecting the cap to be as they were planning ahead. Frankly, I think that’s going to be one of the easier negotiations, figuring out a cap.”
