2025 Free Agency Thread

So the Hornets keep signing guards, and their only centers are Diabte and Kalk. They are also short on roster spots. They trying to win? Trying to tank? Why do they have all these guards?

You got me.. Maybe Din is their Svi type bench vet as he looked pretty washed in Dallas. They resigned Mann to a 2 year guaranteed (plus 1 year team option) but he's coming off a fairly serious disk injury in his back. Nick Smith Jr will certainly be cut now. I don't watch many CLT games but it seems they always need to play G League guys every year after Lamelo gets injured so guess they won't have to do that this season.

I'd assume they will eventually use some of those contracts to make a trade for a legitimate center.
 
Player Option on that second year. Go ahead and plan to buy that out now.


JJ is going to murder Ayton. This is gonna be great.
 
Lakers were one of the best Collins destinations, it's unlikely now as they can't take much more salary back. Vincent+Kleber for Collins puts them too close to the apron which they are hardcapped at.

Best chance now is probably Miami? Maybe MIA does Rozier and Love (actual good vet to have around) for Collins....but Rozier is cleared of his charges. Otherwise, there are some negative contracts we could probably take on like DJM, Pat Williams, or Barrett.

We have too many guys. One of Kessler/Lauri/Collins must go.
 
I am trying to figure out Phoenix. Before FA, I thought the Jazz could move Collins + Sexton for Beal and either a couple picks or #10 this year. I still think something could be worked out to move Collins to Phoenix for a young player (Flemming?) and a contract. Phoenix has so many guards. Not sure what they are planning long term.
