When Nikola Pekovic re-upped with the Timberwolves yesterday, he became the last of the summer’s big free agents to come off the board. As such, the next few big names to sign contracts may not be players on the open market, but rather players signing extensions with their current teams. Players heading into the fourth and final seasons of their rookie contracts are eligible to sign extensions, as are a number of veterans. We’ll be taking a look at some of those guys in Extension Candidate pieces.
This list of our Extension Candidate posts can be found at any time under the “Hoops Rumors Features” menu on the right sidebar. It will continue to be updated as we examine players that might be in for long-term deals in the near future. Here are the extension candidates we’ve previewed so far, in alpabetical order:
- Eric Bledsoe (Suns)
- Andrew Bogut (Warriors)
- Avery Bradley (Celtics)
- Kobe Bryant (Lakers)
- DeMarcus Cousins (Kings)
- Luol Deng (Bulls)
- Derrick Favors (Jazz)
- Rudy Gay (Raptors)
- Paul George (Pacers)
- Gordon Hayward (Jazz)
- Greg Monroe (Pistons)
- Larry Sanders (Bucks)
- Greivis Vasquez (Kings)
