Amir Coffey has agreed to a three-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Coffey is represented by Marlon Harrison and Bill Duffy.

Nicolas Batum has agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Batum spent the past two seasons with the Clippers as he has become one of the league's better veteran role players.

We say it every summer, but this year’s NBA free agency has the potential to be one of the wildest in recent memory. Though Kyrie Irving’s decision to opt into the final year of his contract with the Brooklyn Nets — taking him off the board as the league’s most coveted free agent — there’s still a chance he could be on the move if GM Sean Marks wants to cut his losses. In typical NBA fashion, a trade could dictate how everything else plays out.

For instance, what happens if Jaylen Brown get dealt? Or Kevin  Durant?

There’s plenty of intrigue with this year’s free agency, which begins on Thursday, June 30, at 6 p.m. ET. We’ve already heard rumors of the first domino falling, with John Wall expected to be bought out by the Houston Rockets and then sign with the LA Clippers.

Sports betting apps see Wall’s addition — and the impending return of a healthy Kawhi Leonard — as big enough news to vault the Clippers near the top of the NBA title odds list. With Wall’s signing and the expectation that Irving stays, here’s where oddsmakers have pegged title favorites:

Which NBA Free Agency Moves Could Move Odds

Though we don’t expect Irving, Kevin Durant or James Harden to be swapping uniforms on Thursday, there are some big names who should make headlines shortly after the clock strikes 6 p.m.

We expect that the Bulls (+2500 title odds) will retain Zach LaVine with a five-year maximum deal, but the Phoenix Suns (+1000) seem reluctant to pay former top pick Deandre Ayton. Jalen Brunson may have priced himself out of Dallas (+1400) with a strong postseason, while the Hornets (+10000) will need to decide what Miles Bridges is worth as they rebuild around LaMelo Ball.

In terms of what moves could swing title odds most, the Suns would likely see a dip if Ayton leaves — but one would expect GM James Jones to have a backup plan to replace his 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds. Arizona sports betting apps might see a spike in activity, depending on how things play out.

It would sting for the Mavericks to lose Brunson after he played alongside Luka Doncic to get Dallas to the Western Conference Finals, but they also traded for Christian Wood and drafted Jaden Hardy a week ago. They aren’t going anywhere as long as No. 77 is upright.

The Warriors are the defending champs and seem intent on running it back. Both Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II are expected to re-sign with Golden State when free agency begins, meaning Steve Kerr’s group will return seven of its top eight rotation players from last year’s title squad.

Other contenders could make giant splashes that we’re not sure exist right now, but it’ll be tough for any group to surpass the Warriors as title favorites.

Spurs-Hawks Swap could Shake Up East

More trade rumors abound as we near the start of free agency, and the latest involves one of the top young guards in the league. Dejounte Murray could be heading to Atlanta, where he’d form an intriguing — and stellar — backcourt duo with Trae Young.

The Hawks (+6600) struggled last season, but adding Murray, who finished second in the Most Improved Players voting behind Ja Morant, would give them the potential to earn a top-4 seed in the East. The Spurs feel content to rebuild, and it could be the Hawks who wind up as big winners because of it.

Stick a Fork In the Lakers?

The Lakers are just +1400 to win next year’s NBA title, an almost unthinkable set of odds considering they’ll once again be led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But last year’s injury-riddled, Russ Westbrook-tanking season didn’t leave oddsmakers any choice. T

here was a thought that Irving would sign for the Mid-Level Exception in LA, but that’s no longer an option. Instead, the Lakers will need to get creative to fill some serious holes — and decide what to do with Westbrook — without much cap flexibility.

Rob Pelinka has built a title roster before, but this might be asking a lot.

Ivica Zubac and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension.

The Clippers declined their $7.5 million team option for 22-23 on Zubac in order to sign him to an extension.

The Clippers traded for Zubac in 2019.

John Wall and the Houston Rockets have agreed to a contract buyout and he plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he clears waivers.

Wall gave back $6.5 million of his $47.4 million salary with the Rockets, which is the same amount of the taxpayer mid-level exception.

Wall sat out the 21-22 season while awaiting a resolution to his contract with the Rockets.

Kyrie Irving has the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers on his list of teams he would consider joining if he's unable to agree to terms on a contract with the Brooklyn Nets.

Irving and the Nets have been at an impasse for several weeks as the franchise has so far been unwilling to sign him to a long-term deal. 

All of the teams on Irving's list currently lack cap space to sign him to a max deal outright, which would mean Brooklyn would likely have to participate in a deal.

Nic Batum declined his $3.3 million player option with the Los Angeles Clippers to become a free agent.

While Batum is widely expected to re-sign with the Clippers on a two-year deal, the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz will have strong interest in signing him.

Batum has played a key role with the Clippers since joining the team before the 20-21 season.

Nic Batum will decline his $3.3 million player option for the 2022-23 season. He'll then become an unrestricted free agent, but there is mutual interest between Batum and the LA Clippers in a new deal.

Batum has had a career resurgence over the last two years in LA. Since joining the Clippers, the veteran wing has averaged 8.2 points and 4.5 rebounds, while putting up 46/40/76 shooting splits.

The Clippers have one of the more expensive rosters in the NBA, but Steve Ballmer has yet to make paying a big luxury bill a concern. LA recently signed Robert Covington to a one-year extension, after he was acquired with Norman Powell ahead of the trade deadline.

The NBA offseason has only just started and there's already a major player in play that was unexpected. Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have reportedly reached an impasse in contract talks. That could open the door for Irving to leave the club he joined just three years ago to team up with Kevin Durant.

The Nets and Irving not being locked in on a new deal opens the door for the All-Star guard to leave Brooklyn. Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks have all kept tabs on Irving's situation.

For the Lakers and Clippers, they need Irving to opt in for his final season versus joining their teams via sign-and-trade. Due to hard cap reasons, the Lakers and Clippers are highly unlikely to make a sign-and-trade workable. If Irving opted in, he could then sign an extension later, or he could re-sign in the summer of 2023.

The Knicks have the ability to acquire Irving after an opt-in or via sign-and-trade. That type of move would also have the benefit of keeping Irving in New York, which was something he stressed was important when he joined the Nets.
