Andre Drummond and Harrison Barnes are the players best positioned to secure a big extension before the Nov. 2nd deadline, according to ESPN sources.

The deadline was moved to Nov. 2nd because Oct. 31st falls on a weekend.

Drummond could potentially land a five-year deal worth around $120 million if he earns Designated Player status from the Detroit Pistons.

 

The Washington Wizards are likely to hold off on an extension with Bradley Beal to preserve their cap space for next summer.

Barnes has rejected a four-year, $64 million offer from the Golden State Warriors.

Other players eligible for extensions in the next three weeks include Warriors center Festus Ezeli, Houston Rockets forwards Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas, Orlando Magic teammates Evan Fournier and Andrew Nicholson, Raptors swingman Terrence Ross, Trail Blazers big man Meyers Leonard, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dion Waiters, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tony Wroten and the Boston Celtics' trio of Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger and Perry Jones.
