With 2024-25 NBA training camp in the coming weeks, it’s time to look at the deals that have influenced the league’s landscape this offseason.
The action got a kick-start before the draft on June 26 when the Brooklyn Nets agreed to send Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks for future first-round picks they originally gave up in the James Harden trade.
The deal, which teams Bridges up with his former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart, was just the beginning of an offseason full of moves that could define the league over the coming season. Paul George is headed back to the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia 76ers, DeMar DeRozen is back in the Western Conference with the Sacramento Kings, and Chris Paul is teaming up with reigning Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio.
With several top names in new places, ESPN Insiders Chris Herring and Kevin Pelton broke down the top players on new teams ahead of the 2024-25 season.
