As we did with last year’s offseason trades and the in-season swaps from 2024/25, Hoops Rumors will be keeping track of all of the trades made this offseason, right up until the start of the 2025/26 season, updating this post with each transaction.
Trades are listed here in reverse chronological order, with the latest on top. So, if a player has been traded multiple times, the first team listed as having acquired him is the one that ended up with him. If a trade has not yet been formally finalized, it will be listed in italics. The terms or structures of those deals could still change before they’re officially completed.

We’ll continue to update this list with the latest specific details on picks and other compensation, as they’re reported.
Here’s the full list of the NBA’s 2025 offseason trades:
2024/25 League Year
- Pelicans acquire the No. 23 pick in the 2025 draft and the draft rights to Mojave King.
- Pacers acquire the Pacers’ 2026 first-round pick.
- Note: The Pelicans had acquired the Pacers’ 2026 first-round pick (with top-four protection) in a previous trade; the Pacers got it back in this deal.
- Magic acquire Desmond Bane.
- Grizzlies acquire Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, the No. 16 pick in the 2025 draft, the Magic’s 2026 first-round pick (with swap rights; details below), the Magic’s 2028 first-round pick, the Magic’s 2030 first-round pick, and the right to swap first-round picks with the Magic in 2029 (top-two protected).
- Note: The Grizzlies will have the ability to swap the Magic’s 2026 first-round pick for the Suns’ 2026 pick (if the Wizards’ first-rounder lands outside of the top eight) or for the least favorable of the Suns’ and Wizards’ 2026 picks (if the Wizards’ first-rounder lands in the top eight).
I don’t remember the Wizards trading a top 8 pick in 2026. Can someone explain to me how it came to be that if, for example, the Suns end up with the 4th pick and the Wizards with the 6th pick again, that that pick (protected in the Suns trade)would end up in Memphis via Orlando?
The Wizards have swap rights with the Suns, but still owe a first-round pick to New York — that pick they owe is top-eight protected.
So if the Wizards’ 2026 pick lands outside the top eight, it would be sent to the Knicks and the Wizards’ swap rights would be nullified. If it’s in the top eight, they’d keep it with the option of swapping for Phoenix’s pick.
In the scenario you described, the Wizards would get the Suns’ pick at No. 4, with the Grizzlies getting the Wizards’ pick at No. 6.
Thank you! These swaps have gotten very difficult to keep track of.
There’s an extra layer of confusion on this one too because the Grizzlies already had swap rights on the least favorable pick of the Wizards (if in top 8)/Suns/Magic. Now they’ll get one of those picks outright and still have the ability to swap for another. So there’s a scenario in which they could end up with both the Magic AND Suns first-rounders next year.
Briefly thought about getting into that in the breakdown above, but it’s sort of a separate detail that wasn’t really part of the Bane trade, so no need to get too into the weeds.
So its basically Memphis getting the cake and eating it too?
You would do well on the SATs
Thanks for having the clearest trade details out there. I’m sure there’s a lot of sources to comb through on some of these.
