NBA Free Agency 2022 – Tradable Contracts and Draft Selections for All 30 Teams

The Free Agency is giving a signal on Thursday at 18:00 ET, but with predictions that only five teams will have significant space, most of the NBA’s attention will be focused on what is expected to be a strong trading season.

We’ve seen a lot of big names move through deals in recent years, including a lot of deals for All-Stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook, and this summer could bring more names on the go. We’ve already seen the Detroit Pistons trade Jeremy Grant with the Portland Trail Blazers and multiple moves by the New York Knicks on the night of the draft.

To assess what might happen in the coming days, we have a complete breakdown of the future draft and contract players available to trade for each of the 30 NBA teams.
