2025 NBA Offseason Thread

[Mr. Body]

32 years ago, his parents, on a hot and sweaty night...

Go on...

[scott]

Could see spurs not doing anything else until the moratorium ends tbh

Yep... just keep the powder dry, see if any opportunities arise to pick up some cheap/free value as a third-team in trades (Wright's specialty, tbh) and roll into next season.

Not my optimal offseason, but still a very good one. A- from me.

[DPG21920]

This you?

No

[Brazil]

As others said, my only concern is shooting... for those who don't like Victor shooting 3s bukle up

Too early to grade the offseason, but it looks good so far. The Spurs still might make a trade, if/how much Fox and Sochan get extended for affect the grade too.

[Mr. Body]

I think DR will get to an immediate contender and I would balk at too many years given his age, but I'd definitely take a look.

Last year absolutely no one predicted the SAS threading the needle with that missile of a Harrison Barnes and pick swap. We don't have the cap space to play with but I expect they're trying to be creative right now.

[Trueblood]

Ben Simmons still out there. 1 year low risk deal?

ST: the last thing we really need to is add shooting to this roster.

Also ST: should we consider Ben Simmons?

[DPG21920]

It’s a B off season for me unless they do more.

[BatManu20]

Random but TP is now hanging out with streamers too apparently lol.

Streaming dribble dribble dribble

Are there any Kings we'd be interested in? Sabonis of the just want to rotate 3 bigs a bunch of guards i guess? Murray, if you believe in him (I don't), Monk or Ellis could be nice.

Wemby wants to play the 4 but every time they put him there with another 5 out there his production drops. It happened on the French national team (Gorbert) and will Zollins. So it begs the question what type of big could he play alongside of that would compliment him? I’ve thought for a while that Sabonis would be a good running mate. He fits the timeline, double double machine gobbling up rebounds and a solid shooter/passer.

The reasons it would never work are plentiful though. He’s still got 3 years left on his rising contract ($42, $45, & $48 million for the next three years respectively). The kings would want too much for him. And he and Fox don’t seem to have a good relationship. It sucks because I think he’s exactly the type of big who would compliment Wemby. Off the kings are really trying to tank hard they’re going to have to drop him though because he’s going to get them some wins this season they don’t want.

[Ice009]

I thought TP had sold his house, or was selling it, or is this a different house to that huge one with the massive swimming pool/slide area? In that video he said that he signed his first contract there.

[PhantomDashCam]

The Raptors are going to be a fascinating team to watch. I’m not in love with some of their players and their contracts but their depth and talent (when healthy) may actually contend in the East.
Quickley, Barrett, Ingram, Barnes and Poeltl…If they can share the ball. Interesting.

[Mugen]

Porky having a 24/7 Nandos at his house makes sense tbh

[Mugen]

It’s a B off season for me unless they do more.

I don't know if you're factoring in luck. But lucking into Harper immediately gave them an A- floor for the offseason tbh

[T Park]

Ben Simmons still out there. 1 year low risk deal?

Dear god

[Bruno]

Spurs did nothing at all to address shooting which is sort of surprising but it makes sense also that they need to see what they have.

Fixing Spurs shooting issue is very difficult because it's the core (Castle, Fox and maybe Harper) that isn't shooting well. Most of the complimentary players are quite good shooters, even more if Keldon is pushed out of the rotation by Bryant.

Fixing the shooting would have require to trade Sochan.

But very uninspired GM’ing alongside the side story of ATL picks losing value too.

I'm not sure Atlanta is that much better than last year. What makes their offseason great is the 2026 unprotected pick they god in the draft day trade with Pelicans. If they don't use this pick in a trade, this pick will have no impact on the 2026 swap and likely only a small impact on the 2027 pick.

Points/rebounds/assists merchant who can neither protect the rim nor defend the perimeter getting paid 50 million a year, works best as a DHO assist farmer on a team with already limited spacing stifling other ball handlers. I would legitimately not take Sabonis for free with his current contract on this team.

[CGD]

[Chiang] The expectation as of Tuesday afternoon is Robinson will not be returning to the Heat, according to multiple league sources. The expectation is that Robinson will land with a new team through a sign-and-trade transaction that could bring assets back to the Heat

Branham & Wesley in an S&T for Duncan Robinson? Memes aside, would be a nice shooter off the bench tbh.

Yes please

[Leetonidas]

Hardaway Jr to the Nuggets. Another vet shooter off the market

[Jordan Jackson]

If Joker is still playing at his elite level, the Nuggets should come out of the west. Tim Hardaway is a good bench piece. Maybe one more shooter wouldn’t hurt though. Still some good deals out there for the Nuggets.

[Mal]

They are (Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitc , Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, etc), just not with the reigning MVP.

Those are not important. Other Williams and Holgren would also want max money, and this means 2nd apron

[DPG21920]

I don't know if you're factoring in luck. But lucking into Harper immediately gave them an A- floor for the offseason tbh

Sure and that’s fair if that’s your view - Im sort of factoring less in the luck and more the totality of the moves and goal of being a firm playoff team. But ya, getting Harper is an A++++ lol

Points rebounds and assists are exactly what we need though. Castle and Wemby are plus defenders but the SL needs shooting and rebounding. He would check both of those boxes and his passing is well above average for his size. You want to run Wemby out with a Golbert type to play D and catch lobs but not do anything else? Yeah, someone like that is really going to help with our spacing and shooting issues.

I think trading Keldon alone or Dev would go a long way to solve shooting + overall fit/logjam etc…Dev is just an ok shooter, Keldon is meh, Sochan bad, Blake bad, Kornet hasn’t been shooting lately….I agree with Fox/Harper/Castle but they have huge upside and talent.

But spurs have plenty of reasons (shooting + minutes/fit/money allocation) to make moves IMO.

I think ATL had a really good offseason. I think NAW is an upgrade for them over LaVert. They got that great pick and added a talented big man in draft (Asa). Added a shooter in Kennard. I think they got better and have a very balanced roster with lots of 3/D. At a minimum I find it hard to say that the picks SA have from ATL maintained or gained value on paper. Could always turn out with an injury to Trae or whatever that it ends up good, but as things stand?

Either way, it’s not unexpected this off season as we discussed. it’s rational what Spurs are doing. Just dont love that it was the obvious least creative least effort path with zero urgency at all (and I want them to be patient for most part) and no creativity but perhaps there is more to come…
