Heading into the 2025 NBA offseason, the Brooklyn Nets stood alone atop the league’s cap space leaderboard. That granted them unmatched flexibility to shape their future. With the ability to sign unrestricted free agents, offer sheets to restricted ones, facilitate complex multi-team trades, and absorb unwanted contracts, Brooklyn’s front office held all the cards. They […]

The Phoenix Suns have been making some big changes this offseason, and it’s obvious that they’re going in a different direction than they were in the past few years. Everything still revolves around Devin Booker, as his recent extension shows, but the team around him won’t look the same. In an attempt to get younger […]

Two weeks into 2025 NBA free agency, former Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga remains without his next team.

A return to […]

LAS VEGAS — There is a different vibe surrounding NBA Summer League this year.

Of course, there are still major questions left on the […]

Despite having just nine players currently under contract for the 2025-2026 season, the Golden State Warriors have yet to make a move in free agency.

The Golden State Warriors have had a relatively quiet offseason thus far, mostly opting to run back the same roster that exited in the second round this past season.

At first, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Al Horford would be signing with the Golden State Warriors. However, as NBA free agency progresses, Horford remains unsigned.

Things may very well get worse for the Brooklyn Nets before they get better. The 2024-25 season was not yet rock bottom for the Nets. That was a roster that still had quality players such as Cam Johnson and even D’Angelo Russell did some damage for them towards the end of the season. Cam Thomas […]

The Utah Jazz have been stuck in neutral over the past three seasons, and considering how stacked the Western Conference is, there is no way anyone can look at their roster and think that they’re ready to challenge for a playoff spot anytime soon.

The first wave of NBA free agency has come and gone. While the majority of big-money moves have already been made, there are still a lot of talented players left on the open market.

It is the second week of NBA’s free agency period in 2025, and Jonathan Kuminga doesn’t appear to be anywhere close to signing with any team just yet. The Golden State Warriors still control Kuminga’s future, with the 22-year-old forward being in restricted free agency, and this seems to have complicated matters for the seventh […]

The Chicago Bulls are no strangers to reinvention. From the championship glory days of the ’90s to the “Baby Bulls” era and the brief Derrick Rose-led renaissance, the franchise has always seemed a move or two away from contention. With a roster that’s been reshaped over the past year, Chicago now stands on the brink […]

The Washington Wizards are not going to sign just any impactful player in NBA free agency. They need to prioritize guys who fit their current rebuild plan, which is progressing but still has a long way to go until it reaches completion.

His days in Golden State seem numbered, and the G-League Ignite product will likely find a new home […]

The NBA is preparing for a rather lackluster free agency period where, unlike previous seasons, money is not being tossed around left and right.
