Overall it wasn't an overwhelming offseason for Chicago, but it could have gone much worse. Satoransky proved himself to be a solid combo guard with the Wizards in John Wall's absence last year, so he was worth taking a chance on. Some feel White could be the best point guard in the draft, and it's a sign that the franchise has moved on from Kris Dunn as the point guard of the future, which is a positive step. as young, potential-filled frontcourt pieces. The addition of Young seems strange given that the Bulls already have Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr.
G Tomas Satoransky (sign-and-trade with Wizards).Part of this grade really goes back to not trading Walker in February if they knew they weren't going to offer him max money this summer. Bottoming out is fine in today's NBA (Charlotte may very well be the worst team in the NBA next season), but those are the type of contracts you want to avoid while you're tanking. Not only did the Hornets lose their franchise player in Walker after reportedly low-balling him with an offer he would never accept, but they also went out and gave Rozier a three-year, $56.7 million deal to take Walker's place. G Kemba Walker (sign-and-trade with Celtics).G Terry Rozier (sign-and-trade with Celtics).Minor moves aside, getting Kyrie and Durant puts the Nets among the NBA elite, something that we never would have dreamed at this time last year. Overpaying Jordan was the cost of doing business with Irving and Durant, but they were also able to pick up Prince, a potential fill-in starter while Durant recovers, for Crabbe's bloated expiring contract and two first-rounders. sweepstakes, but he also added veteran wing depth with Temple and Chandler and got a protected first-round pick from the Warriors in the Durant-Russell sign-and-trade. Nets GM Sean Marks can take a bow after winning the Kyrie-K.D.
Turner was a puzzling addition, but can add depth as another primary ball-handler behind Young. He'll be a nice defensive piece around Trae Young and John Collins, and the Hawks also added, even more, shooting with Crabbe and (potentially) Reddish. Hawks GM Travis Schlenk has a clear direction for his young squad, and he found the man he wanted by trading up to snag Hunter at No. F Chandler Parsons (trade with Grizzlies).F Evan Turner (trade with Trail Blazers).*Transactions accurate as of July 25 Atlanta Hawks We've included every official transaction, as well as some that haven't technically been completed yet, and will continue to add to the list as moves continue to be made before the start of the season in October. Some, as you'll see, had a better summer than others. Success is judged differently, as not every team had a chance to sign the big fish, but the most important thing we looked for was if the team appeared to have a plan, and how they were able to execute it. We've logged every team's transactions, including draft picks, trades and free-agent signings, and assigned a grade to teach team's offseason maneuvers. It's been the summer of the tandem, as star duos have chosen to team up in Los Angeles ( Kawhi Leonard and Paul George with the Clippers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers), Brooklyn ( Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant) and Houston ( James Harden and Russell Westbrook), but those aren't the only teams who had successful offseasons.
