Phoenix Suns
June 2025

The Phoenix Suns have acquired 7-foot centers Mark Williams and Khaman Maluach in separate trade deals. The moves aim to reinforce their frontcourt, especially after trading Kevin Durant. Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks also join Phoenix.
Phoenix sent pick No. 29 and a 2029 first-rounder to Charlotte for Williams, who previously failed a Lakers move due to medicals. Maluach, plus Green and Brooks, arrived from Houston as part of the Durant deal.

The Bucks have re-signed 33-year-old Thanasis Antetokounmpo after he missed last season recovering from a torn Achilles. The forward, older brother of Giannis, is currently representing Greece at EuroBasket and will rejoin Milwaukee for the 2025-26 season.
Thanasis, who last played for the Bucks in 2023-24, appeared in 34 games that year and owns career averages of 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds. Milwaukee announced his return via social media, marking a welcome comeback for a veteran locker-room presence.

Heat’s secret Giannis plan revealed amid Bucks star’s future talks

October 2025

The Miami Heat reportedly had a contingency trade framework ready for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he had requested to leave Milwaukee, though the package notably excluded Bam Adebayo. Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reported that while the offer was serious, it was unlikely Milwaukee would have entertained it.
The proposed deal centered on multiple draft picks and key players such as Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, and rising center Kel’el Ware. However, Antetokounmpo’s relationship with Adebayo — both share the same agent — makes a Heat move without him improbable. ESPN’s Shams Charania added that the only team discussed with Bucks management during Antetokounmpo’s offseason talks was the New York Knicks, now led by coach Mike Brown after replacing Tom Thibodeau.

Free agent Moe Wagner has signed a one-year, $5 million contract to return to the Orlando Magic after the team declined his $11 million option earlier this summer.
Despite a torn ACL in December, Wagner impressed with 12.9 PPG in limited minutes before the injury. He was leading all under-20-min players in scoring and was a Sixth Man of the Year candidate.

Lakers Eye Wiggins After Doncic Extension

Los Angeles Lakers
September 2025

After Luka Doncic’s three-year $165m extension, the Lakers have shifted focus to adding wing talent. Miami’s Andrew Wiggins, acquired in the Jimmy Butler deal, has emerged as a target, with LA now more open to taking on multi-year contracts. Once reluctant to commit beyond 2026, Lakers are recalibrating with Doncic locked in. Wiggins’ two-way play could bolster their title push if a deal is struck, though price remains key. Pelinka’s front office must weigh urgency versus cap flexibility.

Golden State have signed veteran guard Seth Curry for the rest of the season, reuniting him with brother Stephen on an NBA roster for the first time, after Seth impressed last year with Charlotte by leading the league in three point percentage at 45.6. Fresh from a strong shooting season and a history with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, Seth joins a team currently missing Steph due to a quad contusion, giving Steve Kerr another elite spacer while the brothers wait for medical clearance to finally share the floor in regular season action.

Warriors Acquire Kristaps Porziņģis as Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield Go to Hawks

Golden State Warriors/ Atlanta Hawks
January 2026

Golden State reportedly landed Porziņģis for size and stability, while Kuminga gets his requested move and Hield is included in the outgoing package to Atlanta. The write-up ties Kuminga’s trade to his reduced role and prior expectations he would be moved. Porziņģis is described as limited by health in Atlanta and last played January 7, while still providing spacing as a big.

April 2025

The Knicks plan to sign P.J. Tucker to a two-year contract with a team option for the 2025–26 season after two 10-day deals.
Though he appeared in just one game, Tucker’s leadership, playoff pedigree, and elite corner 3-point shooting (most made in NBA over last 12 seasons) convinced New York to retain him for their postseason run.

Kuminga Standoff Freezes Warriors’ Offseason

Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors)
July 2025

Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga has rejected Golden State’s latest contract offer, prolonging a tense standoff. He’s exploring sign-and-trade options while keeping Golden State’s $7.9M qualifying offer open as leverage for long-term control and starter guarantees.
Kuminga seeks a featured role, which Phoenix and Sacramento have pitched. The Warriors demand a young player and a first-round pick—terms Phoenix can’t match. Golden State’s offseason plans, including targets like Al Horford and Seth Curry, remain stalled until the situation resolves.

Knicks May Trade Young Guard Amid Roster Decisions

New York Knicks
September 2025

The Knicks are considering trading 20-year-old guard Pacome Dadiet to keep veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet on guaranteed deals. With roster spots tight, the franchise continues to reshape its depth around Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges. Drafted 25th overall in 2024, Dadiet played sparingly last season, averaging 1.7 points. The Knicks signed Brogdon, Shamet, and Garrison Mathews to training camp deals but can only retain one without a trade, making Dadiet a likely candidate to be moved.
