A look at grades for the biggest free agent signings and extensions of the NBA offseason, including the Warriors' new two-year deal with Steph Curry.

Grades have been issued for the biggest free agent signings and contract extensions of this NBA offseason, covering a wide range of deals, contracts and depth-chart moves across the league.
Among the headline moves assessed is the Golden State Warriors' extension of star guard Steph Curry, with the team receiving a grade of B for the new two-year agreement.
Wider offseason picture
The grading exercise takes in transactions from across the league's offseason activity, weighing factors such as contract length, fit with existing rosters, and the balance between short-term competitiveness and longer-term flexibility for the teams involved.
For the Warriors specifically, extending Curry keeps the franchise's longtime centerpiece in place, though the B grade suggests evaluators see some trade-offs in the terms of the two-year deal compared with other possible outcomes for the club.
Beyond the Warriors, the broader set of offseason grades reflects how front offices around the league approached free agency and extensions this cycle, with teams weighing immediate roster needs against salary-cap considerations heading into the new season.
No further specifics on other individual grades are detailed here, but the exercise forms part of a wider assessment of how teams reshaped their rosters during the offseason window, ahead of the new NBA season getting underway.
