The 2025 summer NBA transfer is completely in full swing! Lakers, Rockets, Bucks, all the moves, fans: I m stupid about this operation

今年夏天NBA休赛期比总决赛还刺激！ As the free market opened, each team was "crazy to do things" as if they had made an appointment - from the change of masters to the move of the defensive gate, from the fallen leaves of veterans to the new star's two-way rushing, every operation is enough for fans to drink three pots!

Without further ado, I will go directly to the "Top 5 of the most explosive transfers this summer". After reading it, you will sigh: How is this offseason? It's simply a "basketball version of the business war"!

🔥The first shot: The Lakers "picked up" Smart! James Doncic is rushing to ask for the person he wants. He put on a purple gold robe for 11 million in two years. If you want to say that the most "smart" signing of Vincent Smart this summer, the Lakers must sign Vincent Smart!

This "mad dog guard" who was the best defensive first team in 2022 was bought out by the Wizards, and was intercepted by the Lakers for 11 million in two years (the second year player option)! Why do you say that the Lakers are smart? Look at the data - the Lakers' backcourt defense efficiency is 22nd in the league last season. As soon as Smart joined, he directly made up the all-around defender hole that "can defend alone, steal, and rush to the basket"!

What's even more amazing is that Doncic came out to "pull people" himself: "He is the most powerful guard I have ever seen. We need such a fighter who can end and defend!" James laughed even more - with Smart, he finally didn't have to carry 30 minutes of frame protection every game!

Fans' hot comments: "The Lakers are worth spending! Smart + Reeves + Russell, the backcourt will directly change from a 'couple' to an 'iron gate'!"

🔥 Second bullet: The Rockets make a big move! 7. Change to 1. KD, and form the three giants "Durant + Shen Jing + Xiao Jia"?

If the Lakers are "picking up bargains", then the Rockets are "a big bet"!

In order to get Kevin Durant, the Rockets directly sent Shin Kyung (core inside), Amen Thompson (potential point guard), Jessian Tate (defensive gate), plus 4 first-round picks (3 for the Suns, 1 for the Thunder) + 1 second-round pick! This operation made the Suns confused - "We had agreed to it, why were the Rockets intercepted?"

What's even more ruthless is that the Rockets not only signed Durant (maximum salary), but also renewed Adams (frame protection maniac) and Jabbarri Smith Jr. (space-type forward line), and even coach Uduka was kept! Netizens joked: "The Rockets are tearing the 'reconstruction card' and directly changing to the 'champion card'!"

US media "Open-air Stand" commented: "Durant + Shen Jing's pick-and-roll, Xiao Jia's free-ball cut, Adams's frame protection... The tactical ceiling of this Rocket may be higher than that of the Warriors!"

🔥 The third bullet: The Bucks "heart-changing"! Sending Lillard away, the operation of signing the Pacers' "frame protection artifact"

in 4 years was even more surprising. Just cut Lillard with extended terms (save 27 million in salary), and turned around and signed the Pacers' 10-year veteran Miles Turner for 107 million in 4 years!

Why is it so urgent? Because Antetokounmpo needs a "frame protection partner"! Last season, the Bucks lost points in the penalty area and ranked 15th in the league. Turner is the top franchise protector who averaged 2.8 blocks per game and had the top 10 defensive efficiency last season! The "motor + frame protection" inside line formed by him and Antetokounmpo is simply a "forbidden zone meat grinder" - Antetokounmpo is responsible for rushing the frame and eating cakes, and Turner is responsible for blocking and sweeping, which makes the opponent scared even if you think about it!

Fans play with memes: "Lillard is gone, the Bucks have changed from 'one-star shot' to 'twin towers', Antetokounmpo finally doesn't have to carry the rebound by himself!"

🔥The fourth bullet: Lillard "goes home"? The Trail Blazers signed back "Rose" for 42 million in three years, but he can only play in 2026...

What makes fans sigh the most is Lillard's "fallen leaves return to the roots".

When leaving the Trail Blazers in 2023, Lillard cried and said, "This is the most difficult decision in my career"; in 2025, the Trail Blazers signed him back for 42 million (including the transaction veto power) in three years! However, there is a heartbreaking fact - Lillard has to wait at least until the 2025-26 season (that is, the 26-27 season) to make a comeback!

Netizens joked: "The Trail Blazers have signed a 'future core'? But in 2025, they may not even be able to enter the playoffs..." However, some rational fans supported it: "Li Guidance is the soul of the Trail Blazers, and it is a victory when he comes back!"

🔥 The fifth bullet: Unpopular operations are also crazy! Japanese point guards enter the NBA, European MVP "picking up bargains" the Suns...

In addition to the operations of the big guys, there are some "small and beautiful" signings this summer worth paying attention to:

Kawamura Yuhui landed in the Bulls: Japan's "God of Point Guards" joins the Bulls in a two-way contract, averaging 9.6 points and 6.6 assists (39%) in the summer league. Although it is highly likely to go to the development league, the story of "Asian point guards enter the NBA" is enough to excite fans!

Suns sign European MVP: 2025 Europa League FMVP Nigel Hayes-Davis, joining the Suns with a full guarantee of one year. He played for the Lakers (2017-18), and this time he returned to the NBA, with a clear goal - "help the Suns compete for the championship again"!

Finally, I said a few words

In the NBA this summer, it is really "some people are happy and some are worried": the Lakers strengthen their defense, the Rockets bet on superstars, the Bucks upgraded to the inside, Lillard goes home... But no matter which operation, it hides the team's ambitions - next season, the league structure is probably going to be a "big reshuffle"!

Which deal do you think is the most outrageous? Should the Rockets bet on Durant for 1 in 7, or should the Lakers sign Smart for 11 million in 2 years? Talk freely in the comment area
