The Kings are projected to be a first apron team despite finishing with the fourth-worst record this past season.
Sacramento will be motivated to cut costs. Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik Monk should all be well-known trade candidates this summer.
A realistic framework for what the Grizzlies could receive in a trade for Ja Morant this offseason:
Raptors receive: Ja
Memphis receives: Brandon Ingram
Kel’el Ware, who the Heat have offered for Giannis Antetokounmpo, could be due for a breakout next season on the Bucks.
Ware averaged 12.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks when he started this season.
In Milwaukee, Ware would have ample opportunity.
The Nets should be one of the more aggressive teams in the marketplace this summer.
Brooklyn does not control their own first-round pick in 2027 (Houston owns swap rights), which is important to note. As a cap space team, the Nets have a pathway to be competitive next season.

I think the Celtics have a genuine interest in acquiring Giannis, but are keeping it quiet out of respect for Jaylen Brown.
Based on Brad Stevens’ end-of-season comments about the team’s roster needs, it would be reasonable for Boston to explore a trade for the Bucks star.
Stacey King, a three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls who later became a fan-favorite on their broadcast team, has died at the age of 59, the team announced Sunday.

Sources said Elton Brand will not return as 76ers GM and is currently working through a new role with the franchise and its parent company, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Brand, well-respected throughout the 76ers’ organization, elected not to interview for the President role after the team parted with Daryl Morey and has been fully supporting the team’s ongoing Draft prep.
The Rockets could have another blockbuster up their sleeve.
Proposed mock trade:
• Rockets receive: Anthony Davis
• Wizards receive: Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason (S&T), Dorian Finney-Smith, 3 second-round picks

The Spurs built a future that arrived ahead of schedule 😤
Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle. Dylan Harper.
Three lottery picks.
Two Rookie of the Year winners.
One generational talent.
The foundation of San Antonio's next era is already on the NBA Finals stage.
But basketball isn't played on paper.
On the other side stands a trio that has spent years building something together.
Jalen Brunson. Josh Hart. Mikal Bridges.
Three Villanova champions.
Three friends.
Three players who know exactly where the others will be before the play even develops.
That chemistry has shown up in every big moment of this series.
Now the Knicks are two wins away from a title, holding a 2-0 lead with the power of friendship doing just as much damage as pure talent 🤝
