The 2025-26 NBA offseason is underway, following the Oklahoma City Thunder's championship win. Significant free agency moves include the Denver Nuggets trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson, improving their roster flexibility. The Houston Rockets, bolstered by Kevin Durant and other acquisitions, are poised for a strong season. Conversely, the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to waive Damian Lillard's contract is perplexing, while the Los Angeles Lakers' offseason moves have drawn criticism. The Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets are considered the biggest winners, while the Lakers are seen as the biggest losers. Analysts anticipate further moves, particularly for the Indiana Pacers, and hope for Chris Paul to join a contending team.
