With the NBA Finals over, multiple players have option dates due within the next few weeks. Free agency begins on June 30, 2023, but all options will have been exercised or not by the day before. There are also a handful of players with non or partially-guaranteed contracts whose guarantee dates are by June 30.

Some decisions have already been made. Derrick Jones Jr. and Danuel House have picked up their respective player options, while Fred VanVleet has declined his. Also, there is a strong possibility that the Suns waive Chris Paul if they cannot trade him. Most option decisions historically are made on the day they’re due.
