NBA teams sign free agents to multi-year contracts

Several NBA teams finalized free-agent signings and contract extensions in late June. The moves involve centers and wings on two- and three-year deals ranging from $22 million to $252 million.

Portland center signing A center signed with Portland on a multi-year deal.

The player limited opponents to 53 percent shooting at the rim last season. Portland now has two centers who each held opponents below 55 percent at the basket. The signings leave limited court time available for a 2025 first-round draft pick. The three centers have shared the floor for fewer than 50 minutes combined.

Utah center re-signing A center agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal with Utah.

The player averaged a double-double in 26 minutes per game and posted a career-high 4.8 assists. He appeared in 41 games before undergoing nose surgery. The contract positions the player as a backup until the team resolves another center's restricted free agency. If that player departs, the team may seek an additional frontcourt option.

center signing Golden State signed a center to a two-year, $40 million contract. The player appeared in 42 games the prior season and 32 games the season before that due to an illness. When available, he averaged 25 points per 36 minutes. The deal limits Golden State's use of the full non-taxpayer midlevel exception. The team also re-signed another veteran center this summer.

wing signing San Antonio signed a wing to a three-year, $45 million contract. The player made 38 percent of his three-pointers in the regular season and 40 percent in the playoffs. He is one of two above-average shooters in the team's current rotation.
