7 big-name stars who may be traded before the start of the 2025-26 season, Antetokounmpo ranked first

The NBA is in the 2025 offseason, and the free agent market this season is very lively. We can see Kevin Durant being traded to the Houston Rockets. Players such as Jordan Poole and McCollum were also traded. There are also extreme operations such as Lillard being cut by the Bucks.

However, let's not forget that the 2025 offseason is not over yet and they are still continuing. To this end, Eddie Bitar of the US media "Fadeaway World" showed off the seven major stars who may still be traded by the team before the start of the 2025-26 season.

1. Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo averaged 30 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the 2024-25 season. Recently, Antetokounmpo may force the palace to leave the team, mainly because Lillard was cut by the team, which aroused his dissatisfaction. Recently, during the live broadcast, he said that he "maybe" would continue to stay in the Milwaukee Bucks, but metropolitan teams like New York will not be the place they want to go. Many fans and media believe that he may join the Spurs in the future, or the Brooklyn Nets.

2. Zion

Zion played 30 games in the 2024-25 season. Average 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game. If the opponent can provide good trading chips, the Pelicans are very happy to send Zion away. They have been fed up with Zion's injuries. Because after Zion entered the NBA, he was injured almost every season and had not finished a season healthy. Moreover, now that the Pelicans have won Jordan Poole and given up Zion, I can really consider it.

3.Embid

Embid averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the 2024-25 season. Due to injury problems, he only played 19 games and was directly reimbursed for the season. In the end, he was even asked by fans and media to retire. There is no way. Since Embiid entered the NBA, he has not been able to stay healthy for a season. In just a few years, multiple knee surgeries may affect the dominance of his remaining NBA career.

4. Paul George

Paul George averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the 2024-25 season. After staying for one season with the Sixers, only playing 41 games. The 4-year, $200 million super maximum salary contract given by the 76ers made Paul George a fortune. The team was dissatisfied with his injury and declining performance, and wanted to trade to send him away in exchange for a better star. However, the problem is that Paul George's contract is almost no team willing to take over.

5. DeRozan

DeRozan averaging 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the 2024-25 season. The Kings played well in the Sacramento Kings, but the team's performance missed the playoffs may lead to the Kings sending DeRozan away. However, DeRozan is not young anymore and may be sent away by the Kings in exchange for some young players and future draft picks.

6. Markanin

Markanin averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the 2024-25 season. His performance is very different from the previous two seasons. For the Utah Jazz, Markkanen is really going to lose his hands. During the 2024 offseason, Markkanin was given a five-year, maximum salary contract of US$238 million, but his performance in the first season was heartbreaking. The Utah Jazz now wants to send Markkanen away with an annual salary of more than $40 million, and it will be difficult for other teams to accept him.

7. Kobe White, 25-year-old Kobe White, averaged 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the 2024-25 season. The 2025-26 season is the last season of the rookie contract year. Kobe White is one of the best shooting guards in the current service, and the Chicago Bulls don't seem to want to build a team around him and Josh Gidey.
