LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
This is shaping up to be one of the craziest NBA offseason in recent memory. Players like Bradley Beal and Karl-Anthony Towns have been involved in trade rumors, teams like the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans are looking to shake it up, and teams like the Chicago Bulls and Toronto are heading into the summer as major question marks. But amid all the trade rumblings sits free agency, and while this year’s class isn’t as stacked as previous ones have been, there are still some heavy hitters who could be on the move. Lots of players could be in new jerseys.
NBA Free Agency: Top 5 players who will be on new teams next season:
Brook Lopez, Milwaukee Bucks
As the Milwaukee Bucks look to push forward after an embarrassing playoff loss, they may have to do so without Brook Lopez. The big man will be an unrestricted free agent looking to get paid, and the Bucks may not have enough money to bring him back.
James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers
There’s still a chance James Harden stays with the Philadelphia 76ers, but it’s feeling more and more like he’ll end up with the Houston Rockets. We’ve heard about it too much for it not to be a realistic possibility at this point, and with Ime Udoka in place and the Rockets looking to add veterans, it makes sense.
Fred VanVleet, Toronto Raptors
Fred VanVleet recently declined his player option, and reports have indicated that he’ll be looking to move on from the Toronto Raptors. The All-Star guard will be looking for a big-time payday and is almost certainly going to be donning new threads next season.
Christian Wood, Dallas Mavericks
Reports have revealed that the Dallas Mavericks are looking to move on from Christian Wood, meaning the big man will be on a new team next year. His offense could be a solid fit on a team looking to make a splash on that end of the court.
D'Angelo Russell, Los Angeles Lakers
The deadline trade worked out well for the Los Angeles Lakers, but now, it seems as though they don’t wish to bring D’Angelo Russell back. Depending on the price, Russell could slot in as a solid starting point guard on the right team.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
