Check here for the latest free-agency buzz

NBA free agency began today at 6 p.m. ET, but early news out of New York sent the league into a frenzy. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant asked owner Joe Tsai for a trade this morning, listing the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns as his preferred destinations.

Durant’s teammate, Kyrie Irving, opted in to his $36.5 million player option on Monday, but now his future in Brooklyn seems uncertain, as ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Durant and Irving still want to play together — just not in Brooklyn.

Elsewhere in the NBA, James Harden ($47.4 million) and Bradley Beal ($36.4 million) both declined their player options on the eve of free agency. Beal signed a five-year, $251 million max contract with the Washington Wizards minutes into free agency, but no deal has been done for Harden.

And which free agents will change teams this summer? Free agent Jalen Brunson informed the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday that he intends to sign with the New York Knicks, sources told ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.

With Brunson off the table, some of the biggest remaining names include Zach LaVine and Deandre Ayton, who could provide a major boost to a new franchise if they choose a change of scenery.

A host of young stars are also eligible for rookie contract extensions. While the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant are all but certain to agree on a max deal, what does the future hold for the New Orleans Pelicans and Zion Williamson, who has played in just 85 games throughout his first three seasons because of injury and missed all of 2021-22 with a broken foot?

Keep it here all offseason long for the latest buzz, news and reports surrounding NBA free agency.
