NBA Teams Explore Multiple Draft Pick Trades Amid Spurs, Wizards, Raptors Moves

Several NBA teams are actively strategizing for the 2025 NBA Draft and offseason to position themselves for both immediate and long-term success. The Phoenix Suns are navigating uncertainty with Kevin Durant's potential departure but rely on Bradley Beal's preference to stay, valuing his chance to win alongside Devin Booker despite a hefty contract and limited trade interest. The Toronto Raptors are considering trading down from the No. 9 pick to acquire multiple first-round picks, possibly engaging the Oklahoma City Thunder, to maximize value in the draft. The Washington Wizards, with the youngest roster in the league, are contemplating trading one or both of their first-round picks to add experienced players who can contribute immediately and improve the team's competitiveness. The Brooklyn Nets, owning four first-round picks including the eighth overall, are open to trading Cam Johnson to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for lottery picks to better align with their roster and timeline. Meanwhile, the Spurs are also exploring major offseason moves, including the potential acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo if he leaves Milwaukee, or alternatively Jaren Jackson Jr., as they aim to build around their young stars De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama to contend in a stacked Western Conference.
