2025 NBA Offseason Thread

Honestly think he took a little discount to stay in Minny. That's not a bad price for him tbh.

I have zero doubt Santi’s agent is going to be showing the Reid contract in every negotiation.

But I feel like if Naz is worth $25M then Santi is about $20M. Based on Naz producing for a couple extra seasons on a winning team and proving himself somewhat it in the playoffs by being a contributor to playoff series wins.

Well, I would object to the idea that Naz proved himself somewhat in the playoffs... he was pretty disappointing there IMO. And I think Santi offers more in terms of his skillset, even if it's not quite realized yet - which is why I put them both equal. We will see!

I’m not convinced enough in my own case to argue it I could see teams offering Santi 4/$100M tbh. 4/$80M feels more in line with value but FA’s are rarely signed at market value when changing teams.

Would anyone care to share the DPM charts for Aldama and Naz Reid? The same one that was comparing Carter Bryant to Danny Green.

Thanks SpursBills.

[baseline bum]

Spurs would have taken VJ at 3 if they didn't get 2 right? No way they would have touched Bailey

I don't think they would have taken Bailey at 14 tbh

[cutewizard]

I wished we had some sort of Jrue Holiday type player.......

[RC_Drunkford]

here's the price for Claxton

hope he doesn't go to the Lakers

Wouldn't surprise me if Toronto makes a strong play for NAW and brings him back to his hometown.

Lonzo to Cleveland for okoro

Shams

[BatManu20]

Great deal for the Cavs tbh. They get off Okoro's deal when he's useless to them now anyways that they've acquired De'Andre Hunter, and they pick up an expiring Lonzo Ball who, IF* he can stay on the floor, is a very good 3&D play-making PG, something they sorely lacked in the Playoffs outside of Donovan Mitc .

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Chicago continue to be idiots for yet another offseason. Call them Brian!

Im thinking Atlanta, but hoping it’s us.

But Cavs are taking on MORE salary. Might be a good opportunity to poach Ty Jerome or Sam Merrill to beef up our shooting needs.

They have nothing left unless you want to trade Keldon for Vucevic.

Picks. They have picks.

[LeBowen]

Picks. They have picks.

They're not trading their own picks for anyone we want to get rid of.

They have the cleanest pick situation I've ever seen.
Lottery protected '26 POR, no other outgoing or incoming FRPs.
Two outgoing SRPs from '26 to '32.

Proper old-school franchise, they don't do any of this picks trading nonsense.

[Mugen]

Why don't the Bulls ever get picks in these trades? Like even some 2nd rounders or something. Did the same thing with Giddey/Caruso last year IIRC.

Yeah they don’t seem to realise they can get picks in lopsided player/contract trades.

[Seventyniner]

You never know until you ask! They gave up a protected first to get DDR a few years ago and had to eat a year of Zollins while shipping out LaVine to get it back.

I don't think CHI is one of the dumb FOs you always want to take advantage of like SAC or NO, but I also don't think they're one of the sophisticated ones that seem like they always get the better end like BOS.

Bobby Marks suggests this trade for the Spurs

One move I would make: Trade Keldon Johnson, Blake Wesley, a 2029 first (top-four protected), 2032 right to swap in the first (top-two protected) and two future seconds to Brooklyn for Cameron Johnson.

San Antonio Spurs
Below the tax: $27 million

Below the first apron: $32 million

The Spurs check the four boxes to acquire an All-Star level player; draft equity, controllable and sizable contracts and a playoff-caliber roster. Not including Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox, San Antonio has seven players earning between $4.7 million to $27 million.

Financially, Year 3 of Wembanyama's first-round rookie contract has put San Antonio in a position to take back salary and not face financial restrictions. Besides adding to its roster, the focus this offseason is an extension for Fox. The guard is eligible starting Aug. 3 to sign a four-year, $229 million extension.

Team needs: Backcourt depth, shooting and reserve big

Free agents who fit: De'Anthony Melton, Dennis Schroder, Gary Payton II, Tyus Jones, Malik Beasley, Ty Jerome, Tyus Jones, Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert, Chris Paul, Larry Nance Jr., Al Horford, Amir Coffey, Luke Kennard, Gary Trent Jr., Jake LaRavia, Clint Capela, D'Angelo Russell, Quentin Grimes, Santi Aldama, Isaiah Jackson, Kevon Looney
