The NBA offseason of 2025 showcased a remarkable restraint from general managers, with few extravagant contracts being handed out. The Houston Rockets made headlines by acquiring Kevin Durant, leading to a strategic hire of Dorian Finney-Smith, highlighting their ambition to dominate the Western Conference. Finney-Smith's defensive prowess will complement a young core, while the Atlanta Hawks secured Nickeil Alexander-Walker to bolster their wing depth. The New York Knicks also made savvy moves, adding Guerschon Yabusele, and the Los Angeles Lakers found value in Deandre Ayton. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies enhanced their roster with Ty Jerome, while Bruce Brown Jr. returned to Denver on a bargain deal.
