With the 2024-25 NBA season and draft in the rearview mirror, all attention now shifts toward free agency. After the Oklahoma City Thunder established their basketball supremacy, the rest of the league now looks to make moves to try and dethrone them.
Things have already begun to shift, with the Phoenix Suns trading superstar Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the 10th pick (Khaman Maluach) in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Boston Celtics have also begun a refresh by trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers and Kristaps Porziņģis to the Atlanta Hawks.
