Meiji: The first day of the draft will be the most active and busiest day for trading throughout the offseason

June 16th News Today, ESPN reporter Tim Bontemps wrote an article about Suns star Kevin Durant's trading rumors. In the article, he said that the first day of this year's draft will be the busiest day of the entire offseason.

Tim Bontemps first mentioned that Durant's deal may contain some 2025 draft assets. And this summer, almost no team has cap space (salary expert Bobby Marks revealed that the only one expected to have substantial operational space is the rebuilding Nets).

In addition to the above reasons, the options in the offseason free agent market are also very limited, so, many sources said that the busiest day of this year's offseason may be June 26th - the first day of the draft. For all teams, it is a day on the schedule to have the ability to run the roster, complete the reinforcement, and it is likely the only opportunity, as the player trading market is severely restricted in the next few weeks. Many teams are trying to save money or restructure their rosters, looking for opportunities to create a sensation. "It feels like the trading activity this day will be even higher than in all previous years," said a management person.
