Multiple NBA players have signed contract extensions so far this offseason, as James Harden secured a new deal with the Rockets and John Wall committed to the Wizards for several more years. In each of those instances, the All-Star guard in question received a Designated Veteran Extension worth the maximum allowable 35% of the cap, meaning negotiations weren’t exactly required.

We’ll continue to update the list below each time we write about a new player, so be sure to check back for the latest links. Here are the extension-eligible players we’ve discussed so far:
