NBA 2026 offseason roster changes

Overview

The 2026 NBA offseason has been characterized by significant roster restructuring, particularly for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Following the departure of Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat, the Bucks have engaged in major rebuilding efforts. This includes a massive trade involving Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to acquire Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and draft rights to Nate Ament, alongside future first-round picks. The Bucks have also signed Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million contract and acquired Caris LeVert through a multi-team trade.

Simultaneously, the Cleveland Cavaliers have focused on maintaining their core players, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. Their recent moves include re-signing Mitchell and James Harden, drafting Meleek Thomas, and acquiring wing Peyton Watson via a five-team sign-and-trade. This transaction resulted in the departures of Max Strus, Tre Mann, and several draft assets.
