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 big move for Cam Johnson, 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.
