The NBA Finals are still in progress, but ESPN's famous reporter Windhorst has issued a warning on the show "First Take" that the real storm is coming and coming in full force.
Wen Pang said: "This year is not a star-studded free agent market. I think most of the actions of this offseason will revolve around the draft."
"Usually, we will see most of the actions between June 30 and July 3. But this year, since it is not a real free agent year, there may be three or four lottery draws available for trading. Some of the teams want to improve their picks, some want to withdraw, and some want to exchange draft picks. These will come with bigger deals. So, Shams has cleared other schedules and is ready to sprint all the way during the draft. We will go straight to the offseason from the NBA Finals and move forward at full speed. You will see the action soon. Trust me." Wen Pang added. The 2025 NBA Draft is scheduled to be held on June 25, just three days before the possible seventh game of the Finals, and league executives have not wasted any time. According to Wen Pang, multiple lottery draws have been reported as "tradable". Not only are the rebuilt teams competing for draft picks, but the playoff teams are also involved, preparing to make big moves before the free agent market opens. Wen Pang believes that young and ambitious teams like the Nets, Spurs and Rockets are strong and ready to attack at any time; playoff competitors such as the Celtics, Nuggets, Lakers, Knicks and Warriors are expected to actively adjust their lineups; even the strong teams in the Finals, the Thunder and Pacers may try bold adjustments if the championship dream is broken.
Wenpang believes that many deals, especially those involving draft picks, will be finalized or close to completion by the end of the draft. Although this year's free agent market lacks superstars, the trading market is full of tension. Wen Pang believes that the NBA offseason earthquake is about to break out and will detonate during the draft. With superstar trading, lotto signing changes and a barren free agent market, this offseason may become the craziest one in league history, please wear your seat belts.
