The NBA free agency period kicked off with significant moves as teams scramble to reshape their rosters. The Milwaukee Bucks made headlines by signing Myles Turner to a four-year deal after waiving Damian Lillard, officially making the nine-time All-Star a free agent. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers secured former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton, who was bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers, adding much-needed depth alongside LeBron James and Luka Dončić.

Other teams like the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, and Houston Rockets have made notable acquisitions, with the Nuggets trading for Cam Johnson and bringing in Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. The Hawks added Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard while the Rockets look to solidify their lineup with Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela after securing Kevin Durant. Despite the excitement, the 2025 free agency class is surprisingly thin, as many stars like LeBron James and James Harden re-signed with their teams, leaving remaining free agents such as Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey with uncertain futures.
