US media commented on the top 3 goals of the Western Conference team this summer: Lakers chase Aaron Kessler, the first choice for the three teams Antetokounmpo
10:08pm, 4 June 2025【Basketball】
This year's offseason will be the most active offseason in recent years. With the completion of the swap deal between Doncic and Davis, each team may not be able to play in order to win the championship. As long as they can control their salary below the rich line, they will choose the most preferred one. The US media also selected the top 3 goals of the Western Conference teams this summer offseason. Let’s take a look.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zion Williamson, Domantas Sabonis
Why can the Thunder chase Antetokounmpo because they are so rich. If you fail to win this year, holding a large number of draft picks and young players can make them start any deals, and it is not impossible to get Antetokounmpo. It is really tempting to let Antetokounmpo join forces with the new MVP. Zion can also ask for the price, but the value is not high; Sabonis is an upgraded version of Harten, which can form a perfect inside double tower with Homgren.
Houston Rockets
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant
The Rockets must make some big moves this summer and should do their best to chase the super giants entering the market. The Rockets can provide high-quality quotes to trade Antetokounmpo to help the Rockets' young men go further. The Rockets also mastered the first round picks for the Suns in 2025 and 2027, and Booker and Durant have also become potential trading targets. Both scoring machines can become the core of the Rockets' offensive end.
Los Angeles Lakers
Jarett Allen, Walker Kessler, and Nicholas Clarkston
The Lakers' reinforcement direction is very clear because their shortcomings are too obvious. They are looking for a starting center who can cooperate with East Zhan, eat cakes and provide frame protection ability. Cavaliers' Allen fits this very well, and has certain passing ability; Kessler has always been the ideal goal for the Lakers, second in the league with 2.4 blocks this season; and Nets' Clarkston can also consider it. The Denver Nuggets
Dalton Kneckett, Reus O'Neal, Keeon Ellis
Nuggets could have chased superstars such as Durant, but Jokic was more inclined to strengthen the depth of the bench. Kneckett is the perfect three-pointer to catch the ball around Jokic, and the Nuggets can also join the Lakers' trade to find centers. O'Neal Jr. is a reliable 3D wing, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.6% this season; while 25-year-old Ellis averaged four three-pointers per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 43.3%.
Los Angeles Clippers
Colin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, Keant George
US media believes that the Clippers should go to the Jazz to purchase goods during the offseason. This season, the Clippers' offensive firepower is only ranked 15th in the league. Harden is about to turn 36, so he definitely needs guards to help Harden share the pressure. Sexton and Tyron Lue have worked with, Clarkson has also worked with the Cavaliers and Coach Lue, and George was abandoned by the Jazz midway through this season and may enter the trading market.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, Derek White
Timberwolves have been at the gate of the finals for two consecutive years, and the lineup needs further upgrades. The Timberwolves chased Durant before the trade deadline and can continue negotiations this summer; the healthy dual core composed of Zion and Edwards is also worth looking forward to; Conley's peak period has passed, Dillingham has not yet grown up, and White can fill the gap in the defender and partner with Edwards.
Golden State Warriors
Domantas Sabonis, Derek White, Kobe White
The Warriors lack an ideal center for five smalls. Even if they trade Green, it is perfect to get Sabonis. Sabonis has led the rebounding list for three consecutive years, and has excellent passing ability and outstanding three-point ability. White's asking price is probably higher than the Warriors' expectations, but his partner Curry is ideal. Kobe White can also become the Warriors' potential target to supplement offensive firepower.
Dallas Mavericks
Kevin Durant, Derek White, Anthony Simmons
Mavericks traded Doncic, but they changed the team's team building trajectory, and actively strengthened while choosing Flag. Durant, as Flagg's mentor, can also help the team to win the championship directly; Derek White and Simmons are both candidates for double-sports guards, and they serve as starting point guard before Irving returned from injury.
Phoenix Suns
Paul George, Jaden McDaniels, Jabbarry Smith Jr.
Durant can't keep it, and the Suns should also consider whether Bill and George can be exchanged. Although they are both premium contracts, George seems to be able to play better. The Suns also need to find some forwards who are both offensive and defensive. The 24-year-old McDan is the league's top wing defender. If Durant chooses to go to the Rockets, the 22-year-old Smith is the Suns' must-have asset.
San Antonio Spurs
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Laurie Markanen, Cameron Johnson
In a few years, the Spurs will be able to return to the playoffs to compete for the championship. If you are willing to give the second-tier draw, it is very likely that Antetokounmpo and Wenban Yama's top double towers will win Antetokounmpo and the Spurs' lineup will compete for the championship next season. However, if the second pick stays, Markkanen and Cameron Johnson are both good options.
