NBA transfer moratorium ends July 6, contracts can be signed officially

After the draft, the NBA opens a free‑agency window on June 30 at 18:00, allowing teams to negotiate but not to officially sign deals until July 6. The pause ensures the salary cap is accurately set based on the league’s real revenue.

Clubs use the interim to finalize deals and shape their rosters. NBA officials stress the process promotes fairness and financial stability.
