Contract, Roster Deadlines Loom For NBA Teams

By | at October 20, 2025 9:34 am

We’re one day away from the start of the NBA’s 2025/26 regular season, making Monday the last day of the 2025 offseason. Today serves as the deadline for a number of contract- and roster-related decisions around the league. Here are the most important ones:

Rookie Scale Extensions

A total of 22 players entered the offseason eligible for rookie scale extensions.

Six of those players – Paolo Banchero, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith Jr., Keegan Murray, and Nikola Jovic -have already signed new deals, a seventh (Shaedon Sharpe) has agreed to an extension that will be officially completed today, and an eighth (Blake Wesley) was waived earlier in the offseason.

That leaves the following 14 players eligible to sign rookie scale extensions on Monday:

The majority of these guys won’t sign new deals until the 2026 offseason, when they’re eligible for restricted free agency. But it would be a surprise if at least one or two more players from this list don’t finalize rookie scale extensions today.

Braun, Daniels, Duren, Eason, Ivey, Kessler, Mathurin, and Williams are among the notable names in this group, but finding a price point that works for them and their respective teams will be a challenge in some cases.

The deadline for rookie scale extensions is at 5:00 pm Central time.

Certain Veteran Contract Extensions

A veteran player who signed his current contract at least two years ago (or three years ago if it was a five-year deal) is eligible to sign an extension. That means many veterans around the NBA are eligible to sign contract extensions today, but that number will significantly drop as of tomorrow.

Once the regular season begins, only veterans in the final year of their contracts can sign extensions — a player who has multiple years remaining is no longer extension-eligible until the following offseason.

Let’s use the Heat as an example. Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, and Norman Powell are all eligible for veteran extensions right now, but Herro still has two guaranteed years left on his contract. That means his extension eligibility window will close after Monday and won’t reopen until next July, whereas Rozier and Powell, who are on expiring contracts, could sign extensions anytime between now and June 30, 2026.

An extension-eligible veteran who has a player option for 2026/27 – such as Wiggins – could still sign a new deal later in the ’25/26 league year, but he’d have to eliminate that option to do so. Picking up the option would make him ineligible to complete an extension between Tuesday and the start of the ’26/27 league year, since it would turn his contract into a multiyear deal, not an expiring one. This rule also applies to team options.

Here are the players who have a Monday deadline to sign a veteran extension if they want to lock in a new deal before next July:

While Jokic is the most worthy candidate for an extension in this group, word broke early in the offseason that he’s not expected to sign this year because he would qualify for more years and more money if he waits until 2026.

Outside of Jokic, the best candidates for new deals might be Herro and Nesmith, but there’s no guarantee that anyone from this group will extend today, since they’ll all have at least one more eligibility window down the road.

The deadline for veteran extensions for players on non-expiring contracts is at 10:59 pm CT tonight.

Regular Season Rosters

Nearly every NBA team finalized its roster cuts on Saturday for financial reasons, as we explained over the weekend. However, today is the official deadline to reduce offseason rosters to the regular season limit of 15 players on standard contracts (plus three on two-way contracts).

While there will could very well be some additional roster shuffling today as teams tweak their back-end roster spots or fill two-way openings, only one team – the Bucks – absolutely has to make a move. Milwaukee appears likely to waive 2024 second-round pick Tyler Smith in order to set its regular season roster.

[RELATED: 2025/26 NBA Roster Counts]

The two other teams that made it through Saturday with more than 15 players on standard contracts – the Nets and Wizards – got down to 15 by making cuts on Sunday.

The Bucks’ roster move is due by 4:00 pm CT.

The final day of the offseason is also the last day for teams to convert Exhibit 10 contracts into two-way deals, but there are no real candidates left after Ron Harper Jr., Caleb Houstan, Moussa Cisse, Jahmyl Telfort, Jahmir Young, Johnny Juzang, Chris Youngblood, and Colin Castleton were all converted within the past few days.

The only player still on an Exhibit 10 deal who is eligible for a two-way contract is Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara, and the expectation is that he’ll make New York’s regular season roster in order to ensure the team’s salary remains below its hard cap.

It remains possible that a player on an Exhibit 10 contract who was cut on Saturday could be claimed off waivers and immediately converted to a two-way deal later today.

Finally, Monday is the last day for a free agent to be signed-and-traded during the 2025/26 league year. However, there have been no indications that any sign-and-trades are in the works.

Preseason Observations: Rookie Extensions, E10 Bonuses, Bufkin, Waivers

By | at October 20, 2025 7:15 am

We've finally arrived at the last day of the 2025 NBA offseason. In less than 36 hours, the 2025/26 season will tip off with the defending champion Thunder hosting former OKC star Kevin Durant and the Rockets.

Durant is one of three players - along with a pair of Trail Blazers - who worked out a contract extension with his new team on Monday. With the deadline looming for players to sign rookie scale extensions in 2025, we're using the space below to examine which players from the 2022 draft class are most likely to finalize new deals of their own in the coming hours.

We're also taking a closer look at some of the players who got Exhibit 10 bonuses below the max, revisiting the Nets' decision to cut Kobe Bufkin, and explaining why the waiver wire is worth watching on Monday.

Kevin Durant Signs Two-Year Extension With Rockets

By | at October 19, 2025 12:15 pm

12:15 pm: Durant’s extension is now official, the Rockets announced in a press release (Twitter link).

8:02 am: The Rockets and star forward Kevin Durant have agreed to terms on a new two-year contract extension, his business partner Rich Kleiman tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link). According to Charania, the deal is worth $90MM and includes a second-year player option for the 2027/28 season.

Houston was one of the teams on Durant’s list of preferred destinations when the Suns put him on the trade block during the summer, so there was an expectation after the two teams agreed to a deal that Durant and the Rockets would work out an agreement of their own sooner or later.

However, there was also a sense that the Rockets weren’t willing to give Durant the maximum extension he was been eligible for, which was worth roughly $119MM over two years (based on a projected $166MM cap). That maximum salary figure would’ve increased slightly at the six-month mark after the trade, but the 37-year-old couldn’t sign an extension longer than two years due to the over-38 rule.

Ultimately, the two sides agreed to an extension that will see Durant take a pay cut from his current $54.7MM salary but still represents a massive payday for a player entering his 19th NBA season. According to Charania (Twitter link), there was an understanding when Durant was dealt to the Rockets that he wouldn’t push for a maximum contract in order to help the team maintain flexibility to build and retain its roster going forward.

Durant has expressed this fall that he feels comfortable in Houston, where he has reunited with one-time Seattle SuperSonics teammate Jeff Green (story via Danielle Lerner of The Houston Chronicle) and fellow University of Texas alums Royal Ivey, D.J. Augustin, and Dexter Pittman, each of whom has a role within the Rockets’ organization (story via Lerner). As Chris Mannix of SI.com wrote in a feature story earlier this week, Durant is hopeful that he’ll retire as a Rocket.

“I’m looking to be here as long as I can, play my last years of my career,” he said. “That’s the intent. I know, I said that about Phoenix, too, but that’s the intent. I would love to do that. I mean, I’m 37 years old and I’m going on 19 years in the league. I want to be solidified in a spot and build with a team with a group of guys that’s going to be around for a while. So hopefully this is it.”

Although Durant’s stint with the Suns didn’t play out as he or the team hoped, the 15-time All-Star continued to put up monster offensive numbers during his time in Phoenix. In 62 games last season, he averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 36.5 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .527/.430/.839.

The Rockets are optimistic that Durant’s ability to score in the half-court setting will raise their ceiling after they struggled in those situations, especially in crunch time, during last season’s first-round playoff series vs. Golden State.

As Bobby Marks of ESPN notes (via Twitter), Houston was projected to be about $80MM below the second tax apron in 2026/27 prior to Durant’s deal. His new salary will come in low enough to allow the club to extend Tari Eason and fill out its roster in free agency next summer while remaining below that threshold. Eason is eligible to sign a rookie scale extension today or Monday — if he doesn’t work out a deal with the Rockets at this time, he’ll be a restricted free agent next summer.

According to Charania (Twitter link), Durant’s new contract – including the player option – increases his total career current and future earnings to over $598MM, which is an NBA record. LeBron James was the previous record-holder, coming in just below $584MM.

Suns Notes: Ishbia, Lawsuits, Williams, Centers, Butler, Jones

By | at October 19, 2025 9:02 am

A pair of Suns minority owners dismissed their lawsuit against majority owner Mat Ishbia and the team on Friday, but intend to file a new suit over what their lawyer refers to as Ishbia’s “mismanagement” of the franchise, reports Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic.

It’s the latest development in a legal battle within the Suns’ ownership group. Andy Kohlberg (Kisco WC Sports) and Scott Seldin (Kent Circle Investments) sued the Suns and Ishbia in August, alleging that they weren’t being permitted to view records and financial information that would help them understand how the team was being run and how much their shares are worth. Ishbia filed a countersuit earlier this week, arguing that the initial suit was part of a negative PR campaign against him as those minority owners sought a buyout at an “extortionate” cost.

“Our clients succeeded in their books and records action in obtaining information we were seeking and have discontinued that case,” Michael Carlinsky, an attorney representing Kohlberg and Seldin, said in a statement, per Vorkunov. “We are now focused on the critical phase in our litigation, which will involve our clients’ assertion of claims for mismanagement and other misconduct and look forward to their day in court.”

Ishbia and the Suns remain confident that nothing will come of the new suit.

“This is more of the same from litigious limited partners who are using the courts to try to leverage a buyout,” Suns spokesperson Stacey Mitch said. “They dropped their books and records complaint because the organization is and has been fully transparent about its operations and success. We are confident that we will prevail in court.”

We have more on the Suns:

  • After taking part in a competitive scrimmage on Saturday, Suns center Mark Williams is on track to be available for the team when the regular season tips off on Wednesday, writes Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. “This was the most minutes he’s seen in a scrimmage that we’ve played,” head coach Jordan Ott said. “Mark is big. You can see his size out there, both ends. Offensively, puts pressure on the rim. Defensively, when someone is driving in there, you have to make the decision.” Phoenix has taken a cautious approach with Williams this fall due to his extensive injury history — he has played just 106 of 246 possible regular season games during his first three years in the NBA.
  • While Williams is expected to start at center, Ott said the rotation in the middle will be “fluid” early in the season, per Rankin. Oso Ighodaro, Nick Richards, and rookie Khaman Maluach will also be in the mix. “On a night-to-night basis, we’ll have a plan going into it, but we have to be a little fluid as coaches and kind of read the games and see exactly who is impacting winning out there on the court on a night-to-night basis,” Ott explained.
  • According to Rankin, Ott called it a “really tough” decision to cut Jared Butler, who had a big preseason with the Suns while on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract. Butler averaged 15.5 points, 4.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 20.9 minutes per game across four preseason outings, but was waived because Phoenix is operating slightly over the tax line and apparently doesn’t plan to fill its 15th roster spot for now. “He was part of us for multiple months,” Ott said of Butler. “He really helped our group. Helped his teammates. Helped our intensity of camp. … Hopefully at the end of it, JB knows that we tried to do the best we could. Hopefully, we helped him.”
  • Former Suns general manager James Jones said on Thursday that his time in Phoenix was “phenomenal” and spoke about his new role in the NBA’s league office. Rankin has the highlights in a story for The Arizona Republic.

Checking In On Roster Situations Around The NBA

By | at October 19, 2025 7:57 am

As expected, the majority of the NBA teams made their roster cuts on Saturday and didn’t wait until Monday’s deadline to set their regular season rosters.

Completing those moves on Saturday will ensure the players on non-guaranteed contracts clear waivers on Monday, before the regular season begins. If a team had waited until Monday to waive a player on a non-guaranteed deal, he wouldn’t clear waivers until Wednesday, and the team would be on the hook for two days’ worth of his salary.

After Saturday’s flurry of roster moves, here’s where things stand around the NBA…

Teams whose rosters are within the regular season limits

Of the NBA’s 30 teams, 27 have rosters that comply with the league’s regular season roster limits, which state that clubs can’t carry more than 15 players on standard contracts or three on two-way contracts.

The following 10 teams are right at the limit, carrying 15 players on standard contracts and three on two-ways:

  • Charlotte Hornets
  • Chicago Bulls
  • Dallas Mavericks
  • Indiana Pacers
  • Memphis Grizzlies
  • New Orleans Pelicans
  • Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Sacramento Kings
  • San Antonio Spurs
  • Utah Jazz

Just because these rosters look ready for the regular season doesn’t necessarily mean they’re fully locked in. It wouldn’t be be a surprise if one or more of these teams makes a minor tweak before Monday’s regular season roster deadline. That could be as simple as swapping out one two-way player for another. It could also involve the standard roster.

For instance, maybe the Pacers decide that carrying one more point guard is more important than having four centers and decide to place a waiver claim on Jared Butler while waiving Tony Bradley and his non-guaranteed contract. I’m not saying that will happen or even that Indiana is considering that move — it’s just an example of what’s still possible before Monday’s deadline.

The following 15 teams are carrying 14 players on standard contracts and three on two-ways:

  • Atlanta Hawks
  • Boston Celtics
  • Denver Nuggets
  • Detroit Pistons
  • Golden State Warriors
  • Houston Rockets
  • Los Angeles Clippers
  • Los Angles Lakers
  • Miami Heat
  • Minnesota Timberwolves
  • New York Knicks
  • Orlando Magic
  • Philadelphia 76ers
  • Phoenix Suns
  • Toronto Raptors

Several of these teams are right up against a hard cap and don’t have the ability to add a 15th man to their standard rosters at this point. That’s the situation for the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Lakers, Knicks, and Magic.

Many others are operating in luxury tax territory or right near the tax line and will want to keep that 15th spot open for now in order to either keep their projected tax bill in check or maintain some financial flexibility.

That’s not the case for all of these teams though. The Pistons are well clear of the tax, for instance, and could comfortably make a roster addition if they want to.

Two more teams are within the regular season limits. Those teams are as follows:

  • Cleveland Cavaliers: 14 players on standard contracts and two on two-way deals.
  • Portland Trail Blazers: 15 players on standard contracts and two on two-way deals.

The Cavaliers and Trail Blazers both carried over one two-way player from last season (Nae’Qwan Tomlin for Cleveland; Sidy Cissoko for Portland) and signed a new two-way player on July 1 (Luke Travers and Caleb Love, respectively). Since then, both teams have had one two-way slot available, but I expect they’ll fill those openings sooner rather than later, given that there are no cap savings generated by keeping a two-way slot open.

It’s worth noting that players on Exhibit 10 contracts who were waived on Friday or Saturday could be claimed off waivers and immediately converted to two-way deals before Monday’s roster deadline.

Teams that still have moves to make before Monday’s deadline

That leaves three NBA teams that have yet to make the necessary moves to get within the regular season roster limits. Let’s run through them one by one…

Brooklyn Nets: 16 players on standard contracts and two on two-way deals.

The Nets are currently carrying 14 players on fully guaranteed salaries, with Jalen Wilson on a deal with a small partial guarantee ($88,075) and Tyrese Martin on a non-guaranteed contract.

There are a few things to keep in mind here. For one, neither Wilson nor Martin can be directly converted to a two-way contract, since neither is on an Exhibit 10 deal. So if Brooklyn intends to fill that two-way slot before the season begins, it will have to be via waiver claim or a free agent signing.

More importantly, the Nets are operating just $190K over the NBA’s minimum salary floor and absolutely want to be above that threshold when the regular season begins, since falling short would mean forfeiting their share of the end-of-season luxury tax payment. Waiving either Wilson or Martin would result in Brooklyn’s salary falling below the salary floor, since most or all of their minimum salaries would come off the team’s books.

Barring a Sunday or Monday trade, there are two solutions for the Nets here: Either they waive someone with a guaranteed contract or they cut one of Wilson or Martin and guarantee most or all of his 2025/26 salary on his way out. I think the latter scenario is probably more likely, since there aren’t many obvious release candidates among Brooklyn’s 14 players with guaranteed salaries, but we’ll see what the team decides. The decision is due by 4:00 pm Central time on Monday.

Milwaukee Bucks: 16 players on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.

After deciding that Amir Coffey and his non-guaranteed contract would make the team, the Bucks were in position to put off their final roster move until Monday, since they’ll be cutting a player with a full or partially guaranteed salary — whichever player is the odd man out will get his money, regardless of which day he’s waived, so Milwaukee couldn’t create any cap savings by making that move a couple days before the roster deadline.

As we noted when we discussed the Bucks’ decision to retain Coffey on Saturday, it looks like Tyler Smith (guaranteed $1,955,377 salary) and Andre Jackson Jr. ($800K partial guarantee) are the two players who are most in danger of being cut. It’s possible that the club could trade or waive another player instead, but I’d be surprised if Milwaukee’s final preseason roster move involves anyone besides Smith or Jackson.

Neither one was great in the preseason, but Jackson was a little better and has shown more than Smith at the NBA level to this point in their respective careers. Retaining Smith would be the financially advantageous move, since waiving Jackson would reduce the team’s salary by about $1.42MM, but the Bucks aren’t close to the tax line and can afford to eat Smith’s full salary if they decide he’s not part of their future. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take that path.

Washington Wizards: 16 players on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.

The Wizards are another team expected to cut a player with a guaranteed salary, which is why they can wait until Monday to make their last roster move. The only one of their 16 players with a non-guaranteed contract is Justin Champagnie, who was effective in a rotation role last season.

A trade is still possible, but a cut is more likely. And in that scenario, 2024 first-round pick Dillon Jones looks to me like the probable odd man out. He didn’t do much during his first NBA season in Oklahoma City, and the offseason trade that sent him to Washington was more about the second-round pick the Wizards got along with him than about Jones himself. He also wasn’t great in the preseason.

If the Wizards go in a different direction, it’s worth keeping an eye on former Spur Malaki Branham, who was acquired in exchange for Kelly Olynyk along with Blake Wesley and a second-round pick. Washington already waived Wesley and I haven’t gotten the sense that the club views Branham as a crucial part of its roster going forward.

Suns Waive McDermott, Mariano To Set Roster

By | at October 18, 2025 6:50 pm

After signing them on Friday, the Suns have officially waived forward Sean McDermott and wing Nathan Mariano, according to the transaction log at NBA.com.

McDermott, 28, appeared in 18 games for the Grizzlies on a two-way deal back in 2020/21, but hasn’t been in the NBA since then. The former Butler Bulldog spent a few seasons in the G League with the Memphis Hustle before continuing his career overseas, playing in Italy and Turkey the past two years.

Marino, 22, is a 6’9″ wing. He has spent several seasons playing professionally for Franca in Brazil, his home country.

Both players are likely to suit up this fall for the Valley Suns. The Exhibit 10 contracts they signed with Phoenix will make them eligible for bonuses worth up to $85,300 if they spend at least 60 days with the Suns’ G League team.

[RELATED: 2025/26 NBA Roster Counts]

As a result of the cuts, Phoenix now has 14 players on standard contracts and three on two-way deals, so the team’s roster is set for the regular season. The Suns could fill their 15th standard roster spot before their season gets underway next week, but likely won’t do so since they’re operating slightly over the luxury tax line.

Celtics Make Cuts To Set Regular Season Roster

By | at October 18, 2025 6:09 pm

The Celtics officially waived forward Hason Ward and wing Aaron Scott from their Exhibit 10 contracts on Saturday, according to NBA.com’s transaction log. Boston also moved forward with its plan to sign-and-waive RJ Luis, officially placing him back on waivers today.

As a result of the cuts, the Celtics’ roster now appears ready to go for the regular season. The team is carrying 14 players on standard contracts, including 12 on fully guaranteed salaries and Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta on partially guaranteed deals. Additionally, all three of the club’s two-way slots are filled.

Boston isn’t expected to fill its 15th standard roster slot early in the season due to its proximity to the luxury tax line. Any player the Celtics sign into that slot would cost them exponentially more in tax penalties.

Ward, Scott, and Luis are all expected to report to the Maine Celtics, Boston’s G League affiliate. They’ll be eligible for bonuses worth up to $85,300 on top of their standard NBAGL salaries if they spend at least 60 days with Maine.

This is the second time this month that Luis has been waived by the Celtics — they needed to bring him back on an Exhibit 10 contract in order to make sure he was eligible for the bonus he’ll get for spending two-plus months with the G League team.

Hawks Convert Wallace To Standard Contract, Houstan To Two-Way

By | at October 18, 2025 5:44 pm

5:44 pm: The Hawks have officially promoted Wallace from a two-way contract to a standard deal and converted Houstan from an Exhibit 10 deal to a two-way contract, according to the transaction log at NBA.com.

3:17 pm: Point guard Keaton Wallace and forward Caleb Houstan have both made the Hawks‘ regular season roster, but their contract situations will change before opening night.

Wallace is having his two-way contract converted into a one-year standard deal, his agents at Excel Sports Management tell ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link). Houstan, meanwhile, will have his Exhibit 10 contract turned into a two-way deal, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN (Twitter link).

Players on two-way contracts can’t be active for more than 50 games and aren’t postseason-eligible, whereas no such restrictions exist for standard roster players, so the decision suggests that Atlanta is prioritizing Wallace’s availability from game to game over Houstan’s, at least to open the season.

Wallace, who appeared in 31 games with the Hawks on a two-way contract last season, made his case for a promotion by averaging 5.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in 16.6 minutes per game across four preseason outings. He did struggle with his shot this month, knocking down just 30.8% of his attempts from the floor, including 8.3% of his three-pointers.

The Hawks don’t really have a traditional point guard backing up star Trae Young, with Dyson Daniels and Luke Kennard among the players excepted to take on ball-handling responsibilities, so there could be a path for Wallace to earn some minutes for the club.

As for Houstan, the former Magic sharpshooter has three years of NBA service under his belt, so this will be his final season of two-way eligibility. He joins Eli Ndiaye and Jacob Toppin as Atlanta’s two-way players.

Clippers Waive Three Players, Convert Telfort To Two-Way Deal

By | at October 18, 2025 5:43 pm

5:43 pm: All of the Clippers’ roster moves outlined below, including Telfort’s promotion to a two-way deal, are now official, per NBA.com’s transaction log.

2:32 pm: The Clippers are setting their regular season roster by waiving Jason Preston, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and TyTy Washington Jr. while converting Jahmyl Telfort to a two-way contract, according to Law Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link).

Shams Charania of ESPN first reported (via Twitter) that Telfort would fill L.A.’s open two-way slot. The team created that opening four days ago by cutting Trentyn Flowers.

Telfort, who went undrafted out of Butler in June, averaged 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game as a super-senior in 2024/25 before becoming draft-eligible. The 6’7″ forward suited up for the Clippers’ Summer League team in July, averaging 3.6 PPG, 2.4 RPG, and 1.4 APG in 12.3 MPG across five appearances in Las Vegas.

Telfort appeared in three of the Clippers’ preseason games, scoring just nine total points in about 29 minutes of action, but the team has decided to keep him around over Preston, Baldwin, and Washington, all of whom have NBA experience and all of whom were also on Exhibit 10 contracts. According to Murray (Twitter link), Telfort has impressed the team in recent weeks with his awareness, defensive effort and versatility, and toughness.

Preston, Baldwin, and Washington would each be eligible to earn a bonus worth $85,300 if they report to the San Diego Clippers this fall and spend at least 60 days with L.A.’s G League affiliate.

The Clippers, who are too close to their hard cap to carry a full roster to open the season, will have 14 players on standard contracts and three on two-way deals once these transactions are official.
