It's that time of year! My annual NBA offseason tracker is now live and will be constantly updated with the latest news, how and why each team made their moves, and contract projections based on reported numbers:

Can just refresh this post each day:

@FredKatz when you can add the rights to guys drafted in 2009 and 2014, you gotta do it

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

The most other teams could offer Austin Reaves projected to be 4/$177.38M while this $184.8M is the most the Lakers could offer on a four year deal.

Notable that he went 3+1 here instead of a full 5 years, potentially to opt out with 8 years of experience for a 30% max then

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal.

What a bargain for the Suns to move up 17 spots to get their guy

Those future seconds, per source: Phoenix's 2029 and 2033.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

I like Koa Peat, but he just fell to the last pick of the 1st round.

Never forget, @jamalmashburn

[TNT Sports U.S. @TNTSportsUS]

"If I was to put [Cooper Flagg] on that list [of current Freshman], he would be 6th." 😳

@jamalmashburn breaks down why this year's top Freshman stand out to him 🗣️

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@ShamsCharania Third time’s the charm with the right total of draft picks?

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@Fullcourtpass Don't think he'll be wearing #23 in Golden State

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

man Philon to Philly at 22 is the steal of the draft. Not saying it's going to be like when they got Maxey at 21, but not saying it won't either

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@warriorsworld But wait, he’s a SIX year college player 😂

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@warriorsworld oh god, now I regret liking the pick

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@BrendanRMarks Not getting that either lol https://t.co/kAyvu0jAwE

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Another Grizzlies trade: Memphis is trading No. 17 to the Detroit Pistons to move back to No. 21 -- for three second round picks.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@YourManDevine Spurs pick*
and Tre Mann previously

[Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto]

Sources: The Milwaukee Bucks will select Nate Ament with the No. 13 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. This pick was acquired from the Miami Heat in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

The favorite in many people's eyes throughout the process, but mannn, Burries being so close before getting sniped was tough lol

Cool with Yaxel as the pick, though. He's #good

[Brett Siegel @BrettSiegelNBA]

The Golden State Warriors are selecting Yaxel Lendeborg with the 11th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

On the same day as the NBA draft, Sharks?!

Man, tough to see Eklund go, but this seems like a good value. Makes it seem more like Stenberg at 2 and then whichever defenseman is still there at 9

[San Jose Sharks @SanJoseSharks]

🔁🔁

We’ve acquired the 9th overall selection from the Senators in exchange for forwards William Eklund, Kasper Halttunen, and Brandon Svoboda.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

Might be wishcasting a bit for the Warriors, but my best guess at tonight:

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@YossiGozlan I've long assumed Jovic would be involved, but I didn't see him listed?

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

Glad this saga is FINALLY over. No Herro to Detroit as part of it?

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

After adding all of these details to my tracker it looks like the Bulls were able to add Claxton...for nothing?

Nice use of having so much cap space.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.

[Dave Giovanazzi @SF_DavidGio]

@CardsPlayerDev Been waiting on those AA promotions, nice
