NBA Transfers/Trades in 2025/2026 Season Basketball

12.7.26 Milwaukee

Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks after exploring free agency and potential sign-and-trade opportunities. Trent, who averaged 9.7 points while shooting 39% from three over the past two seasons, secured a significant raise after previously signing team-friendly deals.

11.7.26 San Ant.

Victor Wembanyama has agreed to a five-year, $252 million rookie-scale maximum contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs, including a player option in the final season. By choosing the 25% maximum instead of the larger supermax structure, Wembanyama gives the Spurs greater financial flexibility to build a championship contender while committing his long-term future to the franchise.

10.7.26 LA Clipp.

The trade sending Kawhi Leonard from the LA Clippers to the Toronto Raptors has been put on hold until the NBA completes its investigation into allegations that the Clippers circumvented the salary cap. The Raptors declined to assume any potential penalties tied to Leonard's contract, opting to wait for the league's findings. The investigation centers on whether Leonard received improper compensation through an endorsement deal with Aspiration, allegations the Clippers deny.

9.7.26 Gold. St.

The Golden State Warriors will not match the Memphis Grizzlies' three-year, $30 million offer sheet for restricted free agent center Quinten Post, allowing him to leave after one season. The deal's structure, including incentives that increase its salary cap impact, made it too costly for the Warriors, who already added veteran centers Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis in free agency.

8.7.26 LA Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed veteran center Kevon Looney to a one-year, $3.9 million deal while continuing their efforts to land free agent Jonathan Kuminga. Although the Lakers have limited salary cap flexibility, they remain in contact with Kuminga and have pitched him a prominent role. Kuminga and his agent are still exploring better contract options, including potential sign-and-trade scenarios.

7.7.26 LA Clipp.

Free agent Rui Hachimura has signed a two-year, $28 million contract with the LA Clippers after the Lakers declined to complete a sign-and-trade. Hachimura chose to remain in Los Angeles despite interest from several teams, following a strong regular season and an outstanding playoff performance.

4.7.26 LA Lakers

The Lakers have traded center Deandre Ayton to the Wizards in exchange for guard Jaden Hardy and second-round picks in 2031 and 2032. The move follows Los Angeles' acquisition of Walker Kessler, with the team now seeking a backup center, while Washington adds Ayton to bolster its frontcourt as Alex Sarr recovers from injury.

4.7.26 New York

The Knicks have agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with veteran center Andre Drummond following Mitchell Robinson's departure to the Celtics. Drummond is expected to back up Karl-Anthony Towns and provide rebounding and defensive presence similar to Robinson's role from last season.

3.7.26 Houston

Restricted free agent Tari Eason has agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year, $81.5 million contract to remain with the Houston Rockets. The 25-year-old forward, who averaged 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds last season, earned the new deal after a strong campaign and playoff performance following earlier contract extension talks that failed before the season.

3.7.26 Philadel.

Free agent guard Anfernee Simons has agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers that includes a player option for the second season. Simons chose Philadelphia over other offers, viewing it as an ideal fit after the team's acquisition of Jaylen Brown, and is expected to strengthen the 76ers' bench scoring and perimeter shooting.

2.7.26 Boston

The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks (2028, 2031) and two second-round picks. Brown departs Boston after helping lead the franchise to its 18th championship and is coming off a career-best season. The move follows weeks of trade speculation and gives Philadelphia a star pairing alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, while Boston adds a veteran forward and valuable draft assets.

2.7.26 LA Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers began rebuilding their roster after LeBron James' departure by acquiring center Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz in exchange for multiple future first-round picks and pick swaps. Kessler is expected to sign a four-year, $130 million contract, while the Lakers also added Sandro Mamukelashvili, Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton in free agency to strengthen their frontcourt and bench depth around Luka Doncic.
