Although the '24 offseason has not yet arrived, as the playoffs go deeper, there are more and more news in the league, many stars have been rumored to trade, and some stars may test the free market as free agents. For now, this season could be the craziest offseason in 19 years, with thick eyebrows joining the Lakers in 19, George Jr. joining the Clippers, and Wei Shao teaming up with Harden. So which stars are likely to change hands this summer? Let's take a look.

Player Option + Free Agent

There are two top stars in the offseason who have player options, they are James and George, James is 39 years old, he still has a top-15 level in the league, and if he leaves the Lakers to join a strong team, then the team will inevitably improve significantly in terms of competitiveness. George doesn't want to give the Clippers a super cap salary, he also wants to leave, he is one of the best players in the current offensive and defensive team, and if he enters the free market, it is estimated that many teams will rush him.

Russell also has a player option, his annual salary next season is only 18 million, and now the news is that many teams such as the Magic are interested in him, so he may also jump out of the contract and leave the Lakers. DeRozan is a complete free agent, DeRozan wants the last big contract of his career, and the Bulls don't want to give him a super maximum salary, so the two sides have not been able to negotiate, if he leaves the Bulls, Azan will most likely join a strong team and chase the championship.

Maxey is a restricted free agent, and it is unlikely that he will leave the 76ers, and the 76ers will most likely re-sign him with a super-max contract in the offseason, and he deserves such a contract, after all, Maxey was selected as an All-Star this season, which is very good. Harden is also a complete free agent, Harden is expected to join a championship-contending team in the offseason, and he may not be interested in salary right now, and the championship is his biggest pursuit.

Wei Shao has a player option, although Wei Shao does not have the strength of a star, but he is still good as a defender, and as a substitute, he can also give the team a lot of help, Wei Shao's price is not high, but I think Wei Shao may be left very likely. Sika is a free agent, and this season he has met the requirements of the Pacers to help the team reach the playoffs, and if nothing else, Sika is likely to reach a contract extension with the Pacers.

Klay is also a complete free agent, and now the Warriors don't want to give Klay a big contract and hope that Klay will take a salary cut, while Klay wants the last big contract in his career, and now the news in the American media is that the Magic and the 76ers are very interested in Klay, and if the Warriors don't stay, then Klay will be robbed.

Trading Markets

These are all players who have been rumored in the trade market, including top star Butler, who has led the team to the Finals twice in the past four years, and his ability to lead the team is very good, and Butler is still an offensive and defensive existence, and the Heat are dissatisfied that he is often injured and wants to build a team around Adebayo. Mitchell is also a very good player, and because the Cavaliers are not sure that they will be able to re-sign him, the Cavaliers may trade him.

Murray and Trae Young are also in this list, the Hawks got the top pick, so they also want to rebuild the team around the top pick, Trae Young is strong and weak in defense, obviously not in line with the level of the cornerstone, and he can get enough draft picks to trade him, and although Murray is very in line with the level of the cornerstone, he will most likely not be willing to rebuild with the Hawks, so the Hawks also put him on the shelf, and many strong teams are very interested in these two.

Jarrett Allen and Randle may be the best interior players on the trade market, Allen has excellent defensive ability and strong interior finishing, but considering that the Cavaliers need to give Mobley offensive space, they will choose to trade Allen away. In the absence of Randle this season, the team's offense has become more fluid, and the team has to consider re-signing Anunoby, so Randle may be traded away by the Knicks.

Ingram is not good enough because of his playoff performance, and now the Pelicans are also putting him on the shelf, they want to rebuild the team around Zion, and now the Magic, 76ers and other teams are also rumored to be interested in getting Ingram through trade. LaVine wanted to send him away before the trade deadline, but there was no trade value at the time, so he gave up, LaVine also chose surgery, and the Bulls will still be committed to trading LaVine away in the offseason.

Because Wiggins played badly this season and didn't play at the level that a star should have, and they wanted to develop Kuminga, the Warriors planned to trade Wiggins away in the offseason, and now Wiggins is estimated to be difficult to exchange for the right chips, it is estimated that it would be good to be able to exchange for a first-round pick, but the Warriors can also accept it, after all, the team has achieved its goal, dumped the garbage contract and made free up the position.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these 18 stars? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
