With the 2024 NBA Draft over, the league’s transaction market is expected to continue with trade activity over the weekend, league sources told Yahoo Sports, as various clubs look to add players for next season or reshuffle salary in advance of the 2024-25 business year beginning when free agency opens on 6 p.m. ET Sunday.
Thursday’s second round of the draft already saw the Denver Nuggets, for example, send three future second-round picks to Charlotte, sources said, in order to move Reggie Jackson’s $5.2 million salary. That’s a move that should open necessary flexibility for Denver as NBA personnel prepare for Nuggets swingman Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to exit via free agency after the veteran declined his $15.
