Who knows if Barça player in the future Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, Bradley Beal to the Clippers and the former Barca Nigel Hayes-Davis To the Phoenix Suns. There are several impact movements that have been this summer in the NBA market and, to a greater extent, several others that can still find several super stars and MVP included to give rise to more bombs. These are the names to consider:
1
Will you leave Doncic?
LeBron James
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 24,4 pts, 8 reb, 8 ast, 51 FG%, 37,6 3P%
LeBron sent a notice when through his representative, Rich Paulhe warned that at 40 he has no other priority than to win the ring in contrast to some Lakers who look more towards the future with Luka Doncic.
However, The King He has not personally confirmed that he will stay in the Lakers one more season while suitors as clippers, Warriors his beloved Cavaliers and the same mavericks who played Doncic on stalking.
LeBron knows that beyond the next season the Lakers do not have him because the former of the Real Madrid He is the new King of Mambo in Los Angeles. Those of purple and gold have made it clear to not offering any contract extension.
With this panorama, a transfer before the season begins would make sense for both parties as long as The King I renounce their non -transfer clause: the Lakers would get something in return for the star and LeBron could go to a team that prioritizes the ring to the one from now.
Of course, the '23' has not made any effort on its part to give the Lakers more flexibility to sign, because it could have renounced that one -year -old player and 52.6 million option to negotiate a new contract down. LeBron's double standard.

You can still paste a frightened
Giannis antetokounmpo
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 30 pts, 12 reb, 6,5 ast, 60 FG%, 22 3P%
Shams Charania has been insisting that Giannis Antetokounmpo could play for the first time in a team other than the Milwaukee Bucks in the near future. The Greek gave him a touch of attention, but Charania continues to insist that it is not 100% sure that the Greek star stays in Milwaukee.
When the river sounds water and the truth is that right now the bucks are a team worse than a last year in which they were new in First round. The surprising incorporation of an NBA runner -up as Myles Turner Illustrate but the reality is that it comes to replace a sensitive decline like Brook Lopez and nobody has come to replace Damian Lillard.
Anteto, in full boom to his 30 years, He is fed up with not even seeing another ring like the one he won in 2021 after three eliminations in a row. Who knows if doble MVP I couldn't give him the transfer.

Threat to Barça and Real Madrid?
Russell Westbrook
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 13,3 pts, 5 reb, 6 ast, 45 FG%, 32 3P%
Team is looking for the 2017 MVP, who rejected the player's option to follow another year in the Nuggets despite the fact that in a few more places he will have an opportunity to wage the missing ring. In addition, his signing was express request of Nikola Jokicalthough more than one in the locker room he looked at him badly.
To their 36 yearsand after becoming a free agent, it seemed that he could change airs accepting the dizzy offer of the Hapoel Tel Aviv susceptible to making him the best paid European player in history.
But the threat to Barça y Real Madrid In the Euroleague it moves away because it seems that Westbrook will stay in the NBA with its probable incorporation to the Sacramento Kings.

Who loves a former star?
Ben Simmons
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 5 pts, 4,7 reb, 5,6 ast, 52 FG%, 0 3P%
Ben Simmons, the star who has already ceased to be at 29, already suffers his new reality once he is no longer protected by that 5 -year hiring and 170 million that just expired in February, when the Nets and the Australian separated their paths via buyout.
With the franchises hurrying to find pieces to prop up their rosters in the face of the playoffs, Simmons quickly found a new team in the Clippers Until the end of the season but its impact was testimonial. With its particular repertoire of skills as a base of 2.11, the experiment to defend Nikola Jokic In the playoffs it did not work.
In mid -August Simmons is without equipment although it is speculated that the Celtics could choose the former of the former Sixers For the last place they are free in the squad. It would be interesting to see how a coach without fear of experimenting as the peculiar Joe Mace uses you.
But, on the other hand, it seems inconceivable that a player who has put five triples In his almost 10 years in the NBA he finds lace right on the team that pulls the most triple.

Has Curry and Warriors in suspense
Jonathan Kuminga
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 15 pts, 4,6 reb, 2,2 ast, 45 FG%, 30 3P%
With the peculiarity of not being at all a first -order star, Jonathan Kumina is starring in the so -summer soap opera by the expected transfer that has not yet occurred. And that, today, it is unlikely to occur while the Warriors of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler They are pending that this situation is resolved to reinforce their roster: they are the only team in the entire NBA that has not yet signed waiting to see the projection of salary mass they have.
Kumina, a young man from 22 years That the license to disobey his coach is allowed, he is a restricted free agent and asked Golden State to a new three -year and 82 million contract. The bay team said that Nanay and responded with a 2 -year offer and 45 million With a franchise option for the second season. And it is that the Warriors are inclined to the option of Sign and Trade to get something through Kumina.
But the Congolese forward wants to be absolute owner of his destiny and for now he would opt for accepting the qualifying offer, A year of one year of only 7.9 million but that would allow him to reach 2026 without restrictions.
With all this, Warriors could not be in a worse situation. While those 7.9 million give it greater salary flexibility, they have to endure Kumina one more year to see how you go free next summer.

The bulls cannot lose
Josh Giddey
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 14,6 pts, 8 reb, 7 ast, 46 FG%, 38 3P%
After years of mediocrity with the resounding failure with the DeRozan, LaVine And company, the Chicago Bulls seem to have found the cornerstone of their reconstruction in Josh Giddey, obtained last summer in the transfer of Alex Caruso To the Thunder.
However, the base of 22 years “Restricted free agent-, and the Illinois franchise would be far from reaching an agreement. The Australian would be looking for a five -year and 150 million contract, something that the bulls cannot arrive.
Giddey signed some averages of almost triple-double after the All Star with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists more that triplazo of half-winning track against the Lakers of the Lakers Luka Doncic And he has improved his shot.
Chicago Vice President of Operations, the former Barca Arthur Karnisovwith a difficult matter to solve.

Another headache for the bulls
Nikola Vucevic
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 18,5 pts, 10 reb, 3,5 ast, 53 FG%, 40 3P%
After the departures of Demar Droan and Zach Lavine, the Chicago Bulls only have to transfer Nikola Vucevic, the member who remains of that Big Three with which he has not reached anywhere. The bulls want to focus on their reconstruction around young people like Matas Buzelis, Coby White And Josh Giddey if the Australian stays.
After letting Drozan go last summer, the Illinois franchise has no choice but to move a vucevic who ends contract in 2026 with 21.5 million to collect next season. While Montenegrino is not the best defender, he guarantees rebound and versatility in the position of '5', something that the Celtics They have lost with the exit of Porzingis and which is why they are linked to Vucevic.
Meanwhile, the interior of 34 years refreshes his basketball and his mind preparing the Eurobasket with Montenegro.

An all inclusive at bargain price
Al Horford
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 9 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast, 42 FG%, 36 3P%
The Horford ended with the Celtics and there were even those who bet on a Dominican renewal with the Massachusetts team. Above all, taking into account its low cost and that Boston has run out of a pivot shooter with the transfer of kristaps porzingis.
But when the veteran interior of 39 years It is without a team. The Horford crowned his career in 2024 with the ring but the reality is that if no team signs the pivot would be wasting an illustrious that can still provide a very affordable price. The piece they just need some Warriors lacking a '5' with triple.
Apart from its outer threat, the Horford guarantees experience of championship and versatile elite defense. He didn't have a hard time having a hard time Doncic in the NBA finals.

The cover of the market
Cam Thomas
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 24 pts, 3,3 reb, 4 ast, 44 FG%, 35 3P%
There is little talk that he is still loose in the market -although as a restricted free agent -a prolific power scorer of Cam Thomas caliber.
The base of only 23 years It has become the surprising top scorer of the Brooklyn Net Kyrie Irving y Kevin Durant.
Without a contract with another team to seem close, most likely for now according to the ESPN is that the base of Japanese origin follows another year in Brooklyn through the qualifying offer.

THE BEST SIXTEN MAN OF 2023
Malcolm Brogdon
🏀 Statistics Season 24-25: 12,7 pts, 3,8 reb, 4 ast, 43 FG%,
Many teams seem to walk as short of salary space that a sixth man of the year as Malcolm Brogdon is freely advanced in summer.
The base-scolds of 32 years The 2022-2023 season from the bench was left with the Celtics to earn that individual award with 15 points in 26 minutes and an extraordinary 44% in triples with a volume of 5.5 triples.
But, things of the NBA market complex, Brogdon has squandered two years of its prime the last two seasons in a reconstruction team such as the Portland Trail Blazers And, above all, Washington Wizardsa kind of star cemetery in which he coincided with his former partner in Boston Marcus Smart and Jordan Poole.

Brogdon was transferred by the Celtics to the Blazers in the fall of 2023 as a currency to get Jrue Holiday. The Warriors of Stephen Curry sound for the Atlanta player. The exterior must be in a contender yes or yes and not in aimless teams.
