The2025 NBA Draftis here and the action surrounding the first big event of the league's offseason is well underway. A flurry of moves have been orchestrated over the past 10 days, and it suggests more deals are on the way when the first round of the NBA draft begins Wednesday night, June 25, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Prominent players likeKevin Durant,Jrue Holiday,Kristaps Porzingis,Desmond Bane,CJ McCollum,Jalen Greenand Jordan Poole are already involved in pending or completed trades. There's also been lots of movement within the draft order as part of those transactions, with teams having to navigate the new constraints and aprons involved in the league's collective bargaining agreement. It sets the stage for an exciting couple days in the NBA ahead of the start to free agency,with teams jockeying for position to make the right draft pickor potentially trading picks to facilitate a deal for a major contributor. What teams or players might be included in the next big move? What's the latest update on the draft? Here's a look at some of the notable NBA rumors and reports ahead of the start ofthe 2025 NBA Draft: IN DEPTH:Khaman Maluach could be Africa's next NBA star. First, he must navigate Trump's visa ban TheOklahoma City Thunderare multi-tasking right now. They're in the midst of celebrating their first NBA championship, with the joyous victory parade through the Oklahoma City streets taking place one day and the 2025 NBA draft beginning the next. But the Thunder front office has reportedly been busy trying to maneuver up in this year's draft with two 2025 first-round picks at their disposal Wednesday night, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Jonathan Givony said Tuesday that the Thunder could be attempting to move into the top-10 by dangling the No. 15 and No. 24 picks in a deal. Jonathan Givony from@DraftExpresssays he keeps hearing 'rumblings' that the Thunder are trying to move up as high as #9 in the NBA Draft 👀"They have 15, 24, 44. They could package all 3 of those picks, look to move up 4 or 5 slots, maybe 6 to Toronto."pic.twitter.com/YRv1mIfVDn — Cooper Jones (@CooperJNBA)June 24, 2025 TheChicago Bullsare apparently having contract extension remorse. Patrick Williams is the player atop the Bulls' list of players to trade heading into Wednesday's NBA draft,according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The team signed Williams to a five-year, $90-million contract extension last summer. Williams was the No. 4 overall pick by the Bulls in the 2020 NBA draft. The 6-7 forward has career averages of 9.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game over five seasons and shot a career-worst 39.5% from the field during the 2024-25 campaign. The unorthodox pre-draft approach taken by Rutgers one-and-done star Ace Bailey and his representation has raised eyebrows leading into Wednesday night's first round. He has turned down all individual workout opportunities with NBA teams and has not visited an NBA facility yet. It appears now, with the draft hours away, he's willing to give up money in order to go to teams he believes are a better fit down the draft order. ESPN reported Wednesday in its latest mock draftthat Bailey declined workout invites from thePhiladelphia 76ers,Charlotte HornetsandUtah Jazzand seems to prefer "the group of teams ranked outside the top five, specifically Washington, New Orleans and Brooklyn at Nos. 6-8." Golden State Warriors wing Jonathan Kuminga is a restricted free agent this year and negotiations will be delicate after Warriors coach Steve Kerr benched Kuminga for a time during the playoffs this past season. It's unclear, given the new CBA, whether Golden State will be able to afford to keep Kuminga. TheMiami Heathave legitimate interest in Kuminga after missing out on Kevin Durant,according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. He also cites theBrooklyn Netsas a potential landing spot for Kuminga. Golden State could still be involved as part of a sign-and-trade. The New York Knicks could be looking to move Mikal Bridges after making a major deal to acquire him just last offseason.Frank Isola of SiriusXM NBA radio tweeted Wednesdaythat Bridges has surfaced in recent trade discussions, in part because he's now eligible to sign an extension. He also mentioned center Mitchell Robinson as another trade possibility. New York is also still looking for a new head coach after firing Tom Thibodeau following its run to the Eastern Conference Finals. After dealing Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis in recent days for salary cap purposes, theBoston Celticsmight not be done restructuring their roster.ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday nightthat the Celtics continue to receive trade calls from other teams concerning Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. The Celtics, according to Charania, have "high price thresholds" for both players and that their preference is to keep both players. But he didn't rule out another deal occurring. Paul George could be a candidate to be traded this offseason,Sport Illustrated NBA expert Chris Mannix said on "The Bill Simmons Podcast" on Tuesday. Mannix stated that he's hearing the Philadelphia 76ers are looking to move back from the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and may attach George to facilitate the deal. George signed a 4-year, $212-million max contract with the Sixers last offseason, but played just 41 games last season due to injury. The Sacramento Kings are expected to explore trades involving stars DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis,according to a report from the Sacramento Bee. The Kings reacquired DeRozan at the NBA trade deadline this past season and there has been previously reported interest from the Miami Heat. Sabonis has three years and more than $140 million remaining on his contract. He indicated after this past season that he would like to remain with the Kings but wants to play for a contender.
