Witness the craziest offseason in NBA history together!

The smoke of the NBA playoffs in the 2024-25 season has not yet dissipated, but people don’t seem to be too interested in these two teams from the small ball market in the finals. Whoever loses wins and wins is not caring at all except the fans of the home team and others. They are more concerned about what personnel adjustments will be made by those traffic teams that are out early in the offseason, and which teams will be joined by those superstars who are about to become free agents.

Recently, various rumors have also been rumored in the world. Combined with the expiration contracts of some stars and the salary of some teams who have hit the spot next season, all signs indicate that this summer will be the craziest offseason in NBA history!

First, let's look at the three teams whose total salary of players exceeds the second rich line next season.

①. The Celtics star Tatum just underwent Achilles tendon repair surgery last month and has basically been reimbursed next season. The team will definitely not continue to pay huge luxury taxes foolishly even though they know there is no hope of winning the championship. It is rumored that the team is already working to clean up Holiday and Porzingis, and Brown can trade at any time. The team's only non-sale product is Tatum.

②. Mobley won the league's best defensive player award in the regular season this season, which raised his previous five-year, 224 million contract renewal contract that he signed earlier to 269 million in five years. The contract officially took effect just next season, which is also the main reason why the Cavaliers reached the second rich line. The Cavaliers' team building idea with Mitchell + Garland + Mobley + Allen as the core framework has not been able to break through the second round of the series in three years, which has caused some changes in thinking of the team's management. It is rumored that the Cavaliers are listening to quotes about Allen and Garland, and if the price code is right, they can trade. The existence of the three men, Booker + Bill + Durant, allows the Suns to easily break through the second rich line. This season, the Suns boss spent more than 200 million extra luxury tax but didn't even get a playoff spot. It's typical to spend a lot of money to do small things. What's even more terrible is that if Bill or Durant is not traded this summer, they will have to pay more luxury taxes next season. It is rumored that the Suns have contacted several teams to sell Durant, and even lowered the requirements. As long as there is a first-round pick, other extras can be chatted slowly.

followed by stars who become free agents during the offseason or have the last year of contract as the player option.

①, James and Harden have player options this summer. James will most likely choose to execute a contract of $52.62 million for the last year to stay in the Lakers. After all, his eldest son is still hostage in the hands of others! As for Harden, his annual salary of 36.35 million next season is obviously not matched by a star who was selected as the Best Team and All-Star. Harden will definitely break out of the contract and seek a new contract with an average salary of 40-45 million in 2-3 years. If the Clippers cannot meet him, he can join other teams as a free agent at any time.

②. Among the more popular free agents this summer, Paul of the Spurs, Turner of the Pacers, Daluo of the Bucks, Adams of the Rockets, and Reed of the Timberwolves. If Paul has not retired next season, the Spurs will not be able to stay. Now the Spurs are crowded with people in the backcourt, Fox, Castle, and Vassel all need the ball, so Paul can only find another home. The other few are inside players. Except for Daluo, they are likely to leave their old club because of letters. The other three are more likely to stay, but the subsequent transactions are not ruled out.

Finally, the star takes the initiative to apply for a transaction or the team's core player is injured and has a poor record and seeks change.

①. It has been disheartened by the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. It is said that Antetokounmpo has applied for a deal with the team. His biggest potential next players are the Spurs, Rockets and Raptors. These three teams have enough high-quality chips.

②, the Kings' books are not weak at all, but they just can't achieve results. It is rumored that the Kings will trade at least one of DeRozan, Raven and Sabonis in the offseason. I believe many teams are interested in these three.

③. Although the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick, Irving's knee surgery recovery period will not be able to return until January or February next year. It will be difficult for the Mavericks to achieve competitive results next season, so this summer, the Mavericks may send away players with market conditions such as PJ Washington, Marshall, Garford, etc.

With the opening of the draft at the end of the month, more trades will follow, and this summer is destined to be uneventful. Perhaps we will witness the craziest offseason in history.
