NBA／「水行俠」3年11.5億續留火箭 率年輕小將持續衝擊季後賽
根據《ESPN》記者查拉尼亞（Shams Charania）報導，火箭管理層與替補中鋒「水行俠」亞當斯（Steven Adams）達成3年3900萬美元（約11.5億台幣）的續約，新賽季將繼續留在火箭效力。這筆交易成交後也代表自由市場上少了一名即戰力且征戰經驗豐富的中鋒。 亞當斯下個月將滿32歲，他原本計劃在今年夏天成為自由球員。但火箭隊自2020年以來首次打進季後賽的過程中，亞當斯扮演了關鍵輪換和休息室領袖角色，因此成為火箭隊的優先考慮對象。在與球隊會談中，亞當斯表達了希望長期留在火箭隊的願望，而火箭隊管理層也同樣給出回應，最終達成協議。 本季例行賽因傷勢影響，亞當斯僅出賽58場，場均繳出3.9分、5.6籃板，整體投籃命中率54.5%數據。但在季後賽首輪面對勇士時，亞當斯7戰全勤，平均上場時間提升至22.1分鐘，繳出5.7分、6.6籃板、1.1阻攻，可惜火箭在「搶七」落敗後不敵勇士出局。 擁有11個NBA賽季經驗的亞當斯，具備211公分的身材優勢，善於爭搶籃板球的他，在本賽季幫助火箭隊成為進攻籃板最多的球隊。 Just In: Houston Rockets center Steven Adams has agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to stay with the franchise, sources tell ESPN.

NBA rumors: Teams ‘preparing for' Oklahoma City Thunder to make big move in 2025 NBA Draft
The Oklahoma City Thunder are attempting to turn their core into a championship, while a majority of the league is focused on final preparation before the 2025 NBA Draft. While the NBA Finals is Oklahoma City's focus for now, teams do think the Thunder might have something up their sleeve on draft night. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, teams picking inside the lottery of the 2025 NBA Draft are 'preparing for' the Thunder of moving up into the lottery.

While no specific targets were named, the Houston Rockets (10th overall pick) are open to moving the selection and teams like the Brooklyn Nets (8th overall pick) Portland Trail Blazers (11th overall pick) could be targeted. One incentive for trading up for the Thunder could be the desire to land NBA-ready talent this offseason on rookie contracts. With Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren due to receive contract extensions, Oklahoma City needs to start consolidating its picks to find the best young talent on cheap talent that it can.

If the Thunder were to move up into the top 12 picks, it could put them in a position to land someone like Duke Blue Devils center Khaman Maluach or French point guard Nolan Traore.

Insider names 3 teams most likely to trade up in 2025 NBA Draft, including Oklahoma City Thunder
While the national focus right now is on the NBA Finals, a majority of teams around the league are making their final preparations for the 2025 NBA Draft. In what could be the busiest night in basketball this offseason, several marquee teams could be eyeing big moves. Insider Jake Fischer reports that the Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets are viewed around the league as the three likeliest teams to trade up in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Paired with its future first-round picks, Thunder general manager Sam Presti has more than enough assets to move up high in the lottery. Oklahoma City's incentive would be to consolidate some of its draft capital to potentially bring in a higher-end prospect on a rookie contract. Orlando is expected to be one of the more active teams this offseason. It's already been linked to several role players who can provide three-point shooting in both NBA free agency and the trade market. In the 2025 NBA Draft, the Magic have two first-round picks (16th and 25th overall) and two second-round picks (46th and 57th overall) to work with.

The Nets have four first-round picks – 9th, 19th, 26th and 27th overall – and it's highly unlikely they bring in that many rookies next season. The Nets are also calling around the league, offering to package draft picks with Cam Johnson to move up. Advertisement There's been less buzz about which teams are willing to trade down, though the Philadelphia 76ers (3rd overall pick) and Houston Rockets are known to be receptive to trading their first-round picks.
