Daryl Morey recently likened the NBA offseason to throwing a bunch of balls in the air — and potentially watching them land somewhere other than the Sixers' roster. “Then everyone will be mad, and that's fine,” the team's president of basketball operations said at his end-of-season news conference. Morey and the Sixers hope that scenario does not unfold, of course.
The New York Knicks consider this offseason "as the time to trade for the next big name," according to The Athletic's Fred Katz. "They are counting on one universal truth: In the NBA, someone unexpected always becomes available."
The Boston Celtics are set to face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, and will be heavily favored to win that series. Assuming Boston advances to the NBA Finals, it will be their second trip there in the last three seasons, having lost to the Golden State Warriors in 2022 before being one win away from another Finals appearance last postseason. While this era of Celtics basketball has yet to produce a championship, this group consistently makes deep playoff runs. In a recent article from Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley, a hypothetical Paul George for Jaylen Brown swap was proposed.
