NBA Free Agency 2025: Key Winners, Losers, and Notable Deals
TL;DR Summary
NBA free agency has shifted from the traditional slow, star-driven process to a rapid, trade-focused market, with teams preparing for February trades rather than making big moves in July. The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets are among the winners with strategic roster moves, while the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets face challenges due to salary cap issues and draft pick sacrifices. The league's focus has moved to midseason trades, making July less eventful for star signings.
