Basketball
It feels like only yesterday that the Oklahoma City Thunder were crowned 2025 NBA champions, but the offseason flurry already has the basketball world moving on to next year. The 2025 NBA Draft has come and gone with instant grades, winners and losers, and a way-too-early 2026 mock draft. Now it’s time for free agency to take the spotlight, with a smattering of trades expected along the way.
This is not the strongest crop of NBA free agents. The best player who could actually change teams is … Nickeil Alexander-Walker? Jonathan Kuminga? Maybe Myles Turner? Still, smart free agent signings are a key piece of any championship team, and the Thunder showed us that by inking Isaiah Hartenstein a year ago. The biggest moves are expected to come from trades, and there are a number of stars who could potentially be on the market.
This post will keep track of every NBA free agent signing and trade in 2025, starting with the deals that already happened. Remember: the contracts agreed to this week can’t go official until June 6.
