The 2025 NBA offseason features significant player movements, including Kevin Durant's move to the Houston Rockets and Damian Lillard's return to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Rockets hope Durant will elevate them to contender status for the upcoming season. Additionally, Chris Paul returned to the LA Clippers after a season with the San Antonio Spurs. The Oklahoma City Thunder focused on extending their championship core, securing long-term contracts for key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren without introducing new players, as they aim to defend their title.
The Houston Rockets acquired 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns in June. The Rockets hope the veteran forward will give them the boost they need to leap to dominant contender status next season.
Damian Lillard returned to the Portland Trail Blazers after two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and Chris Paul returned to the LA Clippers after one season with the San Antonio Spurs.
Oklahoma City's main business this offseason was signing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to long-term extensions, locking up this championship core through the rest of the 2020s.
The defending champs will return every member of their rotation as they attempt to repeat in 2025-26.
