Editor's Note: This story has been updated with John Henson's and Andre Drummond's contract extensions.
The start of NBA training camps this week also means the unofficial beginning of extension season.
Teams have until Nov. 2 -- pushed back because the usual Oct. 31 deadline falls on a Saturday -- to reach extensions with players entering the fourth and final year of their rookie contracts. Already we've seen four extensions signed: maximum five-year deals for All-Stars Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard and smaller contracts for Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of the Charlotte Hornets (four years, $52 million) and Jonas Valanciunas of the Toronto Raptors (four years, $64 million).
Now is when talks figure to really heat up, however. Portland Trail Blazers GM Neil Olshey told Grantland's Zach Lowe on a recent episode of the Lowe Post that except in the case of obvious max players like Lillard, he prefers to wait on negotiations until there's a deadline looming.
As we near October, that's the case. So let's take a look at the 10 players most likely to sign extensions between now and Nov. 2.
