The bulk of the free agency period has come and gone. Franchises have until the day before the regular season starts to agree to extensions with any former rookie-contract players headed towards restricted free agency next summer. As the season approaches, the rate of signings for incumbent players increases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Detroit Pistons made a big splash today, signing All-Defensive forward Ausar Thompson to a five-year, $155 million deal. Shams Charania of ESPN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/2101076358038433954\" rel=\"nofollow\">reported the news<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Though the situation is slightly different, as he was a second-round pick, guard Pelle Larsson agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract with the Miami Heat. Charania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/contributor\/shams-charania\/7637e2c09f8c6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported that deal as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">On the other end of the spectrum, Detroit Pistons forward Jalen Duren, currently a restricted free agent because he didn\u2019t agree to an extension last summer, remains unsigned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Another player eligible for an extension is Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson. So far there\u2019s been no noise, not even a murmur, about the two sides considering an agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">We\u2019ll keep you up to date on signings as they happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"September the season for rookie contract extension talks across the NBA.
