Multiple NBA Teams Propose Three-Way Trades Reshaping Rosters

The NBA offseason is shaping up with key moves from several teams aiming to strengthen their rosters for the 2025-26 season. The Atlanta Hawks have aggressively signed Nickeil Alexander-Walker to a four-year, $62 million deal and Luke Kennard to a one-year, $11 million contract while acquiring an unprotected first-round pick from the Pelicans, clearly positioning themselves to contend despite injuries in the Eastern Conference. Utah is focusing on youth by trading veterans like Collin Sexton and John Collins, with potential moves involving All-NBA player Lauri Markkanen to gain young talent and draft assets. The Los Angeles Lakers are close to completing a championship-caliber roster led by LeBron James and Luka Doncic, and are considering trading Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleber to add a versatile two-way wing and improve bench depth. Meanwhile, Milwaukee has made bold moves including stretching Damian Lillard's contract and signing Myles Turner to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo content, but still seeks backcourt improvements. Lastly, Portland, after finishing strong last season, retained Damian Lillard and added Jrue Holiday but faces offensive uncertainties and may look to trade Jerami Grant to manage salary and bolster their lineup.
