West Offseason Grades 2025
Nate and Danny hand out offseason grades for all 15 Western Conference teams, analyzing each front office's approach in free agency, trades, and the draft. They highlight Dallas' aggressive moves to build around Cooper Flagg, Denver's quiet summer and internal development strategy, and Golden State's crossroads as they navigate their aging core. The Rockets' eventful offseason, the Clippers' reshuffling around James Harden, and the Lakers’ attempts to refocus around Luka Doncic get close inspection. The second half covers controversial trades like Memphis moving Desmond Bane, Minnesota’s financial risk on Naz Reid, and the Pelicans’ lack of direction. They finish with OKC's conservative approach post-Finals run, Phoenix’s pivot without Durant, and promising youth-focused moves by San Antonio and Utah.Timestamps by team:Dallas Mavericks: 00:00:21Denver Nuggets: 00:18:03Golden State Warriors: 00:30:27Houston Rockets: 00:42:22LA Clippers: 00:49:19LA Lakers: 00:58:38Memphis Grizzlies: 01:10:19Minnesota Timberwolves: 01:23:39New Orleans Pelicans: 01:33:31Oklahoma City Thunder: 01:41:45Phoenix Suns: 01:46:41Portland Trail Blazers: 01:55:13Sacramento Kings: 02:02:05San Antonio Spurs: 02:07:34Utah Jazz: 02:13:15 Join Dunc’d On Prime!
