O que aconteceu neste verão (What happened this summer)

July 2026 will be marked as one of the most eventful months in recent NBA history: big trades, heavy signings and a major league star changing conferences. With the regular season schedule for 2026-27 already released, ESPN is publishing a series of 30 stories (one per team) on weekdays until September 18, answering each franchise's biggest questions.

Below, the chronological order of each time made with publication dates for analyses and all important numbers.

Giannis is leaving Milwaukee .

After 13 seasons, Giannis Antetokounmpo left the Milwaukee Bucks for the Miami Heat in a huge deal between the two franchises.

Miami Heat (published em 31/8): This is the first time I've seen this. Pat Riley finally got the superstar he'd been looking for since LeBron James left in 2016. The Heat released Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez Jr. besides not rehiring Norman Powell but mounted a competitive time around Giannis and Bam Adebayo.$ 13 mIllhões, after buying a contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Milwaukee Bucks (7/9): This is the best team in the league. The post-Giannis era began with Taylor Jenkins as coach, four players from Miami (including Wisconsin native Herro) and Brayden Burries, the 10th overall pick in June's draft.

A Fenda do Leste mudou de dono, which is the first of its kind.

The other shock of the summer, LeBron James behind a new challenge in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia 76ers (14/9): This is the first game of a doubleheader against New York. The Sixers were able to take advantage of the Boston Celtics' desire to get rid of Jaylen Brown as an All-Star, cut Paul George's contract and became a potential destination for James. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade completing their rotation, the franchise also reduced Joel Embiid's health dependency, who will serve 33 years during the season.

Boston Celtics (15/9): This is it. After a first-round elimination in the 2021 playoffs, Brown was paired with Jayson Tatum. The 36-year-old George has played 60 games only once over the past seven years. If Tatum returns to superstar status during his healthy rookie campaign at Lesão do Aquiles in May 2025, the Celtics will have their sixth consecutive season of 50+ wins.

The other times of Divisão do ATL

The Brooklyn Nets (16/9): This is my team. I'm going to play for them. With the reform of the draft lottery imposed by Commissioner Adam Silver after a widespread tanking of the league, the Nets accelerated reconstruction: Julius Randle (US$ 33,3 mThis season's nominees are Mikel Brown Jr. and Keon Ellis, while Nic Claxton and Day'Ron Sharpe remain on the roster.

Toronto Raptors (17/9): This is the first time this has happened in a decade. After months of waiting for the NBA's investigation into salary cap violations, Kawhi Leonard is officially named Toronto's 2019 champion.

New York Knicks (18/9): This is the first time we've seen this. Finalists, or challenge was to maintain or group. without entering no second apron, or don James Dolan lost Mitchell Robinson for Boston (more US$ 15 mBut Jordan Clarkson, Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet accepted contracts below market value.

The Central Division

Chicago Bulls (8/9): This is the first time I've seen this. - Yeah? Reforma completa: Bryn Graham assumes basketball operations, Tiago Splitter is the new coach, and rookie Caleb Wilson, 4th pick of the draft, is the franchise's new face, surrounded by Claxton and Norman Powell.

Cleveland Cavaliers (9/9): This is the last time we're gonna play this game. After losing to LeBron, the Cavs were looking for Peyton Watson of the Denver Nuggets who had career averages in points, rebounds, assists and steals at 41% last year.

The Detroit Pistons (10/9): This is the last time we'll see each other. The offseason continued with negotiations with restricted free agent Jalen Duren. Chegaram John Collins, Isaiah Joe, Taurean Prince and Gary Harris; Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart left RAM .

Indiana Pacers (11/9): They're going to be a great team, man. Ivica Zubac (acquired in a barter window) and the return of Tyrese Haliburton, 16 months after Lesão do Aquiles suffered in late 2025.

Where are we now?

The offseason is practically closed. There are few loose bridges left -27 or Duren's impasse in Detroit is the most obvious case, but each franchise's direction has already been drawn: Miami and Philadelphia were placed as candidates, Boston and Milwaukee bet not to restart, and the East, sometimes dominated by a few, won a giant clash between Giannis and LeBron on opposite sides.
