NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

I thought with the Wolves moves the last couple days they may have been a player for Giannis.
 
Not sure what their cap is, but they'll go after some free agents.
Miami’s cap is destroyed, at least for the foreseeable future. They’re hard-capped in the first apron meaning they have $18M for 4 roster spots. That’s not going to get you anything. Plus they’ll need to extend Giannis.

This is one of those trades stupid NBA GMs make all the time, albeit increasingly less. You trade for the name & aging player, get the headlines, but don’t materially improve your team and actually kill your long-term prospects.

Bucks can start a rebuild now. They now have a big trade exception and cap space to take on expirings and/or bad contracts and get more draft capital for the future.
