Rosters across the NBA are officially under construction. It’s already been a busy offseason, starting with a handful of trades before the NBA draft last week. Next up is free agency, as teams try to bolster their lineups and secure long-term agreements with players. The offseason has been h ectic so far with multiple former All-Stars traded away in blockbuster deals. The Miami Heat acquired former MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for Tyler Herro, a former All-Star, and a platter of other players and picks. Days later, LaMelo Ball was sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the Charlotte Hornets added Naz Reid and a package of picks. Ja Morant (Memphis to Portland) and Julius Randle (Minnesota to Brooklyn) were also traded, and Jaylen Brown could be on the block as well. Those were the biggest trades, but we’ve already seen a number of key players re-sign with their teams before others could have a chance to lure them away. Austin Reaves (Lakers), Trae Young (Wizards), Al Horford (Warriors), CJ McCollum (Hawks), Isaiah Hartenstein (Thunder), Ayo Dosunmu (Wolves), Coby White (Hornets) and Jose Alvarado (Knicks) are among the big names already off the board, but there’s still a long list of available targets. So, which other free agents are available? Who else has signed already? And what teams have the most cap space this summer? Here’s everything to know: When does NBA free agency start in 2026? Teams are allowed to start negotiating and reaching agreements with free agents from rival clubs starting at 6 p.m. ET/5 p.m. CT/3 p.m. PT on Tuesday, June 30. Contracts can be made official starting Sunday, July 6. What is the NBA salary cap and aprons in 2026-27? The projected salary cap for 2025-26 is set at $165 million. That marks a roughly $10.4 million increase from last season. The luxury tax level is $201 million, with the first apron at $209 million and the second apron at $222 million. What NBA teams have the most cap space going into free agency? Only a select numbers of teams will have the ability to spend big in free agency. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be player movement. Even if teams are over the cap, they could still have access to mid-level exceptions and veteran minimums. The teams with the most projected cap space entering free agency are the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls, according to ESPN. Other teams that could create room are the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies. Who are the best NBA free agents in 2026?
