With most major offseason storylines settled for 2024, Bobby Marks of ESPN offers an early look at what could dominate NBA headlines in 2025.
LeBron James will be a key free agent to watch again due to his player option, though the rest of the class lacks star power, featuring names like Jimmy Butler, Julius Randle, and Brandon Ingram.
Few teams are expected to have cap space in 2025, so sign-and-trade deals may be necessary for top free agents to switch teams. Brooklyn is one of the few teams with projected cap room, positioning them for a potentially active summer.
Marks also highlights Cooper Flagg’s future, the effects of the 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement, and a rookie extension class led by Paolo Banchero as other key storylines.
