NBA free agency is right around the corner, with the first day of the chaotic period of the offseason set to take place on Aug. 2nd. There are a handful of notable free agents set to hit the open market, giving teams plenty of directions to go when it comes to improving their rosters.

While there could be plenty of trades that transpire this offseason, free agency is going to have a few moments that causes fans to react one way or another.

That proved to be the right decision for Antetokounmpo as he hoisted up the Larry O’Brian trophy after leading the Bucks over the Phoenix Suns in the 2021 NBA Finals.

With Antetokounmpo no longer set to hit the open market, teams like the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat who preserved a lot of salary cap space in hopes of signing him will have to turn elsewhere to make a key roster upgrade.
