NBC’s @Zaklthemonster had some fun with the winners and losers so far in free agency.
At the top of my list: OKC won, Paul George won, Tatum obviously, and if we’re just talking the offseason the Knicks won.

The extension Mike Conley signed in 2016 was the richest NBA deal at the time. That was 5 yrs, 153 million. I remember thinking “guys are gonna make 30 million a year now?”
Tatum just signed a deal for 5 yrs, 314 million.

The Boston Celtics have extended Derrick White for 4 years, $126 million
Assuming Jayson Tatum signs a supermax extension, the Celtics are already facing a minimum luxury tax bill of $125 million in 2025-26, by my calculations pic.twitter.com/16sFSPE6KM – 1:12 PM

I don’t know how different things will look for the Celtics in a couple of years, but keeping White with Tatum and Brown is absolutely imperative. And White could have held out for free agency next season but he took the sure thing now. Great move for Boston – 1:01 PM
