Welcome to the start of a new NBA calendar year as the free agency period officially starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 30.

Players, agents and front office decision-makers all have their phones on alert waiting for calls and text messages about what the future holds. Die-hard fans are refreshing their social media feeds every few minutes for the latest update.

There’s already been major deals that have broken the internet.

The Milwaukee Bucks sent Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat in a package deal. The Memphis Grizzlies moved on from Ja Morant, trading him to the Portland Trail Blazers.

It’s pandemonium. Trades are happening. Players will be signing new deals. Some have opted out and chose to test the market.

Here’s where our NBA experts think the biggest names in free agency will end up.

LeBron James

• Scooby Axson: If the NBA wants to turn into the 2004 Los Angeles Lakers, then James should sign with Golden State. The most logical answer would be for him to stay put in L.A. and ride out the rest of his career there. Stranger things have happened, but with the league’s most dynamic scorer by his side and complementary role players, there is no reason why a title run can’t be realistic.
