The NBA has actually entered the offseason, after all, only the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder are left to play in the finals, and the remaining 28 teams are all on holiday.

For players, they can have a good rest during the offseason, either recuperate or practice more to prepare for next season. But the team's management needs to make more efforts, and they need to start adjusting their lineup and do a good job in signing, trading and drafting.

Durant's trade is on the verge of being on the string. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Durant's trade is expected to have results within 2 to 3 weeks, and it will be determined before this year's NBA draft. Mainly because Durant's trade must involve a large number of draft pick changes, so it must be done before the draft.

Currently, 4 to 6 teams are actively pursuing Durant, including but not limited to the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and other teams. Wherever Durant goes in the end, it will greatly change the current strength and weakness of the NBA.

On the other side, Harden may also have some changes. Harden really hopes to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers because he is a California native and enjoys playing in his hometown. It is also a pity that the Clippers have stopped in the first round this season, and they hope to maintain the flexibility of the lineup.

The Clippers are working hard to convince Harden to jump out of his existing contract and sign again. Harden has more than $30 million in player options next season, but he is expected to jump out of the contract and renew a two-year contract with the Clippers, so that he will become a free agent with Leonard in 2027.

No matter where Harden and Durant go, the situation in the NBA has changed a lot. This offseason will be very lively and may be even better than the Finals.
