The 2022 NBA offseason has seen some major player movement already, as two All-Stars from this season have already been traded. Dejounte Murray was sent from the San Antonio Spurs to the Atlanta Hawks and Rudy Gobert was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
A staggering seven first-round picks and a few pick swaps were included in those deals, as building for the future has been the name of the game for teams this offseason. We could see some even bigger deals completed in the near future.
At least one more All-Star from 2022 is going to be on the move, as the Brooklyn Nets are set to revamp their roster following Kevin Durant’s request for a trade this week. Kyrie Irving could also be on the move and there is a chance that Donovan Mitchell, another All-Star, is traded as well.
Jerami Grant was traded by the Detroit Pistons to the Portland Trail Blazers while Christian Wood was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. Malcolm Brogdon was a shrewd pickup by the Boston Celtics, while the Hawks made another trade, dealing Kevin Huerter to the Sacramento Kings.
