The 2019 NBA free-agent class is being billed as one of the most talent-rich groups of players the league has ever seen.
It’s easy to project max contracts for All-NBA player such as Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, but how much money are the approximately 200 available free agents in this loaded class expected to command?
Here are complete lists, broken down by position, that take a look at the salary range for each free agent along with likely role — ranging from an All-NBA player in Kyrie Irving to a rotation player in Austin Rivers.
One important note: These projections are for starting salaries if a player signs a long-term deal. We will certainly see players sign one-year deals for significantly more money than they’re projected for here, as JJ Redick did when he agreed to a $23 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2017.
We’ve also included a breakdown of the general ranges for max salaries and cap exceptions. Go here for our breakdown of salary-cap space by team.
