A champion has been crowned. The NBA Draft has come and gone.
Now, it’s time for free agency.
This year’s free agent class isn’t as star-studded and deep as some others in recent memory, but there are still a number of notable players who could change teams in the offseason, from James Harden and Kyrie Irving to Brook Lopez and Jerami Grant.
That list could grow depending on some of the decisions certain players and teams make. Fred VanVleet and Draymond Green headline a group of players with player options for the 2023-24 season that could become free agents, and there are several players with team options.
Below is a full list of players with an option in their contract and their free agency status.

There has been one trade that involves players with options in their contracts.
The Celtics have acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Wizards in a three-team trade that includes Marcus Smart, Tyus Jones, Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala. Porzingis, Gallinari and Muscala each had player options in their contracts for the upcoming season that they had to exercise for the trade to go through.
In addition to Porzingis, Draymond Green, James Harden, Khris Middleton, Fred VanVleet and Kyle Kuzma are the most notable players with an option in their contract for the 2023-24 season.
