We are almost there, folks…
NBA free agency kicks off on Monday at 6:00 p.m., which is when teams can initiate negotiations with players on the open market. (However, they have to wait until the moratorium period ends on July 6th before signings are official.)
However, before we delve into the final, overall FA rankings, the NBA has released the 2025 Las Vegas Summer League schedule.
Here are the Knicks' first four contests:
Friday, July 11, 6:00 p.m. EST - Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons (NBATV)
Sunday, July 13, 5:30 p.m. EST - Knicks vs. Boston Celtics (NBA TV)
Tuesday, July 15, 6:00 p.m. EST - Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets (ESPN2)
Thursday, July 17, 4:0 p.m. EST - Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers (ESPN2)
New York will play a fifth game, which will be determined by their record through the first four. If they qualify for the championship, it will be played on Sunday night.
Also, I'll post a Knicks-specific free agency primer and some potential targets tomorrow morning.
Yet, without further ado, here are the Top 50 players in this year's free-agent crop:
1. LeBron James / Los Angeles Lakers / Player Option
2. James Harden / LA Clippers / Player Option
3. Myles Turner / Indiana Pacers / Unrestricted
