The 5 NBA players most likely to be traded

The NBA offseason continues to progress with a month already passed since the 2025 Free Agency began. Despite many moves already being finalized, there are still some of the most media-covered soap operas of the summer yet to come.

On HoopsHype, there is talk of 5 names with more chances of being traded than any others. According to their presence in NBA Rumors, these are the 5 stars whose future with their current team is not guaranteed.

5. Anfernee Simons - Boston Celtics

Despite arriving at the Celtics in the trade for Jrue Holiday, ESPN has been saying for weeks that Boston is looking to trade their player again. Brian Windhorst noted, "I've spoken with other teams who have said that the Celtics are actively looking to trade Anfernee Simons."

4. Jonathan Kuminga - Golden State Warriors

The restricted free agent has not yet agreed to any contract. His agents want him to negotiate a 'Sign&Trade' with the Warriors, taking advantage of the interest from franchises like the Phoenix Suns.

3. Andrew Wiggins - Miami Heat

The Miami Heat player could be traded before the start of the upcoming season. The Los Angeles Lakers were already interested at the beginning of July. However, in recent days, his potential move elsewhere has cooled off after statements by Erik Spoelstra. Yet, a complete turnaround cannot be ruled out.

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo - Milwaukee Bucks

One of the most talked-about sagas. After the season ended, it was said that Giannis requested to leave the Bucks. But in the end, he decided to wait and see what would happen during the summer, hoping to be surrounded by a team ready to contend for the championship. With signings like those of Myles Turner or Cole Anthony, that expected leap has not yet happened.

1. LeBron James - Los Angeles Lakers

Almost all the rumors revolve around LeBron's possible future. The situation with the Lakers became tense when the player exercised his $52 million player option. This significantly limited the franchise's room for maneuver in free agency, as they wanted James to renew by reducing his salary. Since then, there have been talks that the team has been seeking to negotiate his departure with a rival willing to take on his contract.
