If you’re wondering when Giannis Antetokounmpo might be traded, I will be on a flight around 8:15 p.m. ET today. It’s a four-hour flight. I would put my money on the trade happening during that window.
Even though free agency doesn’t officially begin until June 30 at 6 p.m. ET, the action has already very much begun. Currently, teams are allowed to speak to their own free agents to try to reach deals. Of course, we know that those discussions with all sorts of teams have been going on for months behind closed doors. It’s just a matter of whether the discussions worked to poach a free agent away when the window officially opens.

We'll be looking at five of the biggest names on the trade/free agency markets and predicting where they'll be on Opening Night of the 2026-27 season. Those five names? Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard and De'Aaron Fox. Got it? Good. Let's get to it.
