Commercial tracker out of season NBA: Kristaps Porzingis has headed to Atlanta
While the 2024-25 season has officially ended until Oklahoma City took care of Indiana in game 7 of the NBA finals on Sunday evening, the news cycle has already moved to the 2025-26 season. Houston acquired Kevin Durant From the sunshine hours before Game 7, and there have already been three other offers in the two days since the NBA finals ended.
Below is a “tracker” of the operations that have occurred so far and, given how things went, probably there will be more to add before the draft of the NBA on Wednesday. In addition, many of these agreements become official until the new year of the championship starts on July 6th. Funny.
Announcement
Tuesday 24 June
New Orleans acquires: Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, 40th overall choice in 2025 NBA Draft
Washington acquires: CJ McCollum, Kelly Olynyk, Future Second-Round Pick
According to reports, the first year Pellicani manager Joe Dumars completed his first significant transaction Tuesday, sending McCollum, Olynyk and the 40th overall choice to Washington. While CJ is entering the last season of his current contract, Poole is two years old and almost $ 66 million remaining on his agreement. With Dejourte Murray still recovering from a broken Achille tendon that suffered in January, Poole should not fail to play on the ball in New Orleans. His second season in Washington has been better than his first, and the hope in New Orleans is that Poole can be based on that progress next season. Bey’s acquisition may not have much impact on fantasy basketball, since it is coming out of a torn ACL that has put it aside for the entire 2024-25 season.
Announcement
The addition of McCollum offers Wizard another “adult in the room” together with Marcus Smart and Khris Middleton. All three have fought with injuries in recent years, without anyone hit the 60 games played in 2024-25. Manager to a contractual year, McCollum can provide a reliable medium round value in the standard championships. Having said that, veterans do not come without risk in reconstruction situations, since some teams are too willing to pull the plug and “tank”. Olynyk’s path towards fantasy relevance is not as simple as that of McCollum, but expert managers certainly saw him do the waves, especially at the end of the year when they played for the reconstruction of the teams.
Atlanta acquires: Kristaps Porzingis
Boston acquires: Georges Niang, future choice of the second round
Brooklyn acquires: Terance mann, 22nd overall choice in 2025 NBA Draft
Less than 24 hours after holiday trading, according to reports, the Celtics skipped in Porzingis as part of a three -team trade. Since he is entering the last season of his contract, KP’s release is not surprising. Going to Atlanta offers some intrigues, such as a range of Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, Porzingis and Onyeka Okongwu would have the length and defensive ability necessary to compensate for Young’s deficiencies at that end of the floor. However, Porzingis played 60 games or more once since he torn his ACL during the 2017-18 season. Add the disease that has limited its effectiveness along the stretch this season and the fantasy managers will have to pay attention. In addition, the Hawks still hold a commercial exception for a value of $ 25 million due to the dejounte Murray trade, so they could be extremely active this summer.
Announcement
The Celtics add a solid veteran to Niang, who grew up in the Boston area and played basketball in the high school in Tilton School in New Hampshire. While his fantasy impact has been limited for most of his career, “The Minivan” could have more consistent opportunities in Boston next season, especially if Stevens has not finished moving. The reported operations of Porzingis and Holiday obtained the Celtics under the second apron.
As for Brooklyn, the addition of another choice of the first round to their speakers is what sparkles the significant intrigue. The networks now have five choices in the first round in Wednesday’s draft, which probably means that the manager of Sean Marks has not finished moving. The draft can “start” with Philadelphia to the third choice, but the nets keep the cards that will have a significant impact on how things take place at the Barclays Center. The addition of Mann gives Brooklyn a versatile wing, but has yet to go out as a reliable fantasy option. The fact that this changes or not with networks depends on what the other moves does the team this summer.
Monday 23 June
Portland acquires: Jrue Holiday
Announcement
Boston acquires: Anfernee Simons, two choices of the second round
After losing Jayson Tatum due to an Achille tendon broken during the second round of the playoffs and the franchise in front of a heavy luxury tax invoice, the Celtics started breaking things. Until this point the protagonist Brad Stevens is not known, but has exchanged two key rotation players in the two days of the end of the season. On Monday evening, the holidays were in motion, with Boston who sent him to Portland. It is interesting to note that the trail blazers acquired him from Milwaukee as part of the Damian Lillard trade a few years ago, at the end by transferring the Veterana Guard to Boston.
Unlike two years ago, Holiday’s Fit With Portland is better now, especially after improving the team during the second half of the season. According to relationships, the plan is to keep the holidays, as it can provide constant defense and leadership to the young group. For Portland, free trade even more opportunities for Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, also with the holidays that should occupy a place in initial training. It is time for Portland to truly learn what he has in Henderson and Sharpe and if those two can be key gears in a rotation with playoff ambitions.
Boston’s decision to exchange the holidays saves some money on short -term franchise and there is the potential for them to save more next summer. Simons, a more than capable perimeter marker who will satisfy a necessity in Boston with Tatum Out, is heading towards the last season of his current contract. Celtics can sign it with an extension this summer, but they can also wait until 2026, in the event that things do not go. With Boston who makes another significant move on Tuesday, Simons should have a solid fantasy ceiling next season. The operations also increase the value of Payton Pi -Pitchard, while it is coming out of the best season of his NBA career.
