What happened: The NBA offseason market is active, with attention on the restricted free-agent class and on LeBron James's future. Teams including the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are among those tied to the current wave of free-agency movement.

Why it matters: Restricted free agency can reshape rotations and cap sheets ahead of the 2026-27 season, since incumbent teams hold matching rights on offer sheets. LeBron's situation remains a central storyline after his eight-year Lakers tenure ended with his destination unresolved.

What to watch: Watch for offer sheets to restricted free agents and any resolution on where LeBron signs.
