There are less than two weeks left in the 2023-24 regular season, so that means we’re inching ever closer to every NBA fan’s favorite time of year. No, not the playoffs. Free agency. The fan-favorite period is almost exactly three months away, and it’s never too early to think about the bonanza beginning.

This year’s free-agent crop is shrouded in question marks, but as it stands right now we could have an absolute whopper of a class, led by one of the most popular names in American sports history. That’s right, LeBron James has gone out of his way to remain ambiguous regarding his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s the proud owner of a crisp $51 million player option this summer. All indications are that James wants to finish out his career as a Laker, but crazier things have happened.

There are several other players who could technically be available this summer who are likely to stay put — Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Pascal Siakam, Jrue Holiday — but if any number of them decides to test the waters, we could have an extremely exciting free-agency period. Even if their names are all off the board, there are unrestricted free agents like James Harden, Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan who will be the subject of much intrigue.

While things will undoubtedly change over the next couple of months, here are the top 30 NBA players who could be available in the 2024 offseason.

Trans men and lesbians would get IVF priority two years ahead of heterosexual couples under NHS plan – as campaigners slam proposals as  ‘grossly discriminatory’

Family campaigners have criticised as ‘grossly discriminatory’ plans to give trans men and lesbians access to NHS-funded IVF two years ahead of heterosexual couples. Under the controversial proposals, trans men – those born as women who now identify as men – will be automatically assumed to be unable to conceive, as will lesbians and single women. This means they will be immediately eligible for IVF on the NHS – costing an estimated £5,000 a cycle – if they meet the other criteria, such as a body mass index between 19 and 30, not smoking, being under 43 and not having a partner with a child from a previous relationship.
