Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

ATL is real interesting the direction they could go.   They have been the leaders in any potential Giannis trade.  They still may be.   Although the Pelicans or MIL pick is looking awesome now.    I would be less willing to move that now.   Without it, I don't know how you can get Giannis.  Same thing with Jalen Johnson.  Stats are incredible.  I am sure Milwaukee would demand him too, right?

AD would be less attractive than Giannis, but more age and injury concern.  Although, they would keep the NO pick and Jalen Johnson.   So it is sort of middle ground.

Or do they decide to wait and not do anything now and see where the pick lands and then pick a lane there?

Edit- it is fun visiting the reddit team threads of the teams mentioned in Shams report and most are heavily not interested in any AD trade. LOL
