9:37pm, 9 June 2025【Basketball】
On June 9, 2025, there were many wonderful things inside and outside the NBA! In the just-concluded G2 battle in the finals, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 123-107 at home and tied the series 1-1. This matchup of Mars hitting the earth has presented a visual feast for fans. And just outside the arena, the trading market during the offseason has been undercurrent, and the management of various teams is also planning a lineup restructuring. The offices of 30 teams in the league are brightly lit. According to internal information, many teams have reached preliminary intentions for potential transactions, and will set off a trading frenzy when the finals end! What are the trends today? Next, the editor will take you to see
1. Antetokounmpo made it clear that it would not apply for a transaction this summer: focus on staying in the team and share time with his family
Recently, the trading rumors about the Bucks' star "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo's Giannis Antetokounmpo caused an uproar in the NBA. According to reliable sources, many powerful players including the Knicks, Mavericks, Rockets, and Spurs have offered sky-high bargaining chips for the two-time MVP winner. The Knicks have prepared a trading plan that is enough to shake the league, hoping to bring the Greek monster to Madison Square Garden.
However, just as the transaction rumors became increasingly fierce, Antetokounmpo unexpectedly showed up in Brazil with three brothers and mother to watch the women's volleyball team leisurely. Faced with the influx of media, the superstar finally broke his silence: "I am now focusing on enjoying my time with my family, planning to continue playing for the Bucks, and will not apply for a deal this summer. "
This statement undoubtedly gave Bucks fans a reassurance. However, NBA industry insiders analyzed that although Antetokounmpo stays for the team for the time being, the suitors of each team are likely to launch another fierce offensive before the trading deadline next year. After all, a top superstar like Antetokounmpo who has an offense and defense is always the most dream puzzle for the championship team.

2. The Suns boss leads the KD transaction: It is planned to be done before the draft, and the initiative overtakes many pursuit teams
On June 9, 2025, new trends were added to Durant's potential transactions - Suns John Gambadoro said: Currently, Phoenix Suns are planning to fully promote the Durant trade before the 2025 NBA Draft (June 26-27). It is worth noting that the team owner Ishbiya will lead the KD transaction.
Previously, many teams such as the Spurs, Rockets, Knicks, and Heat have gradually released their interest in Durant, but most of them are passively waiting for the offer; now the Suns' role has changed from "purchasing party" to "active party", and the initiative in trading has quietly changed hands. As for Durant, who is standing in the center of the storm, will his boss be forced to adjust his career trajectory due to the team's will? This game of fate around the 36-year-old veteran will soon usher in a key turning point on the eve of the draft day.


3. The Celtics' salary exceeds 500 million and the pressure is high: Positive/Holedi/Housez has become the focus of the transaction, and accurate blood exchange to ensure the lineup
The salary pressure of the Celtics next season is unprecedented - according to the latest estimate, the team's total salary + luxury tax may exceed the 500 million US dollars mark. In order to balance costs and combat power, the Celtics have recently reported three major trading trends, with the core focusing on "salary cuts and lineups".
The first thing to be affected is the stay and stay of the God of Wat. If the inside core is sent away, the Celtics already have two plans: one is to exchange for Lakers Vincent, Klebel and Milton; the other is to trade for the Warriors, get Moody, Hilder, TJD and Santos, trying to exchange space for combat power.
followed by 35-year-old Holiday. Its three-year contract of 104.4 million (salaries of 32.4 million, 34.8 million, and 37.2 million in the next three years) has entered the "cost-performance ratio observation period". Although this season's average of 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game (9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4 assists in 8 games in the playoffs), the stable organization and defense still make the Celtics willing to listen to the quotes and leave room for subsequent operations.
The most "moderate" adjustment is Hauser. At the age of 26, he averaged 8.5 points per game with 41.6% three-point shooting percentage this season, which is not top-notch but practical enough. If you exchange it for Sherman, it can not only reduce salary pressure, but also maintain external firepower, which is a typical example of "low-cost optimization".
From Possian to Holiday and then to Hauser, the trading logic of the Celtics has gradually become clear: without causing any damage to the muscles, relieve the heavy wages through accurate blood exchange and reserve a window for the championship for the new season.

As the final day approaches, the lights in the league office may be bright all night, and more details of the transaction may surface. For fans, this game about superstars, money and championship has just entered the most exciting moment. Dear fans, what do you think about today’s trading trends?
