Even for these staunchly averse to secondary schooling, the primary day of college at all times brings a sure stage of pleasure. Is it due to the curriculum? The welcome-back meeting? The spanking-new cobalt blue paint job on the lockers that may final a few week? In fact not. The fun comes from the anticipation of seeing your classmates: Who modified their coiffure? Who spontaneously grew six inches? Who transferred in from out of state and who was “requested to go away” resulting from an undisclosed incident throughout summer time faculty?
The identical is true for the NBA, the place a contemporary season is invariably accompanied by a large number of transactions sending gamers from one crew to a different. Generally the strikes occur so shortly that they fly underneath the radar, significantly when a much bigger splash like Paul George heading to the Philadelphia 76ers or the New York Knicks buying and selling for Karl-Anthony Towns comes alongside.
That is what we’re right here for. Beneath you may discover a team-by-team log of all of the gamers who’ve switched jerseys over the summer time — by means of the draft, trades and free company — together with offseason grades for every franchise courtesy of our very personal Sam Quinn. Consider it as a cheat sheet for the 2024-25 NBA season, which shall be right here earlier than you realize it. Think about how impressed your co-workers shall be once you coyly point out that Stanley Umude went from the Pistons to the Bucks? Workplace hero.
As at all times, due to NBA.com and HoopsHype for serving to to maintain monitor of the insanity. Right here we go.
