You’ve probably heard about expiring contracts in the NBA , but what you may not know is exactly what they are and why they can be the cause of serious concern for many franchises within the league. With that said, join us for the low down on how they work. What is an expiring contract in the NBA ? It’s exactly as it sounds. When players are coming to the end of their contracts, we can say that it’s expiring and with that, a whole host of factors come into play. Before we get to those, however, it’s worth noting that in recent years value of large expiring contracts has begun to decrease. This, of course, is largely due to the fact that recent years have seen the NBA earn more in revenue, such that deals that are coming to an end have lost value. Remember, the NBA adheres to what can be considered a “soft” salary cap i.e., there are numerous ways in which teams can exceed it without being punished.

The skilled guard Jrue Holiday is again on the move, having been traded to the Celtics. He will be joining star players Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Boston.

Al Horford will sign a two -year , $20 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics, agent Jason Glushon told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Horford was set to hit free agency in the summer, but will now remain under contract until the end of the 2024-25 season, at which point he will be 39 years old. In 18 games this season, Horford has averaged 10.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 blocks in 31.3 minutes, while shooting 55..5 percent and making 48.8 percent of his 3-point attempts. His usage rate is a career-low 12 percent, but his true shooting percentage is a career-high 69.7 percent.  If Horford maintains something resembling this level of production, the new deal will be a bargain for Boston. He was an enormous part of the Celtics' NBA Finals run last season, providing versatility on both ends and raising his game in the playoffs. Most memorably, Horford scored 30 points on 11-for-14 s...

The Los Angeles Lakers are progressing towards a 10-day contract with veteran wing Sterling Brown, according to The Athletic. Brown, a five-year NBA veteran , has played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks, but had been unable to catch on with a team thus far this season. On paper, the Lakers make perfect sense as a temporary home. Los Angeles has struggled with wing depth all season, and things have only grown more difficult due to recent injuries. Lonnie Walker IV has missed three straight games due to a knee injury, and Austin Reaves will miss Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a left hamstring strain. ...
