The rest of the 28 teams are already starting to prepare for the long offseason, and ESPN&rsquo;s Bobby Marks recently revealed the key dates and schedules that are to come.<\/p><p>One of the biggest questions going into this offseason is where will Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo land, or will they end up staying where they are and run it back one more time? Durant will most likely not remain in Arizona, but many reports suggest the Antetokounmpo on the other hand, could play for the same team next season. Other hot topics going into the offseason is obviously the Lakers&rsquo; need for lengthy front court players, and not to forget the Golden State Warriors&rsquo; Jonathan Kuminga situation. The Boston Celtics will also likely lose one of their key pieces from their 2024 championship core, and the toss up is between Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. <\/p><p>Some teams have already made major moves like how the New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, and the Suns getting rid of their head coach Mike Budenholzer, their third firing in three years. There are certainly a lot of questions, and ESPN&rsquo;s Shams Charania has already called this upcoming offseason, potentially &ldquo;the craziest ever.&rdquo; Expect big changes to come, and by the time the 2025-26 NBA season starts, nothing will be the same. <\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/noah-lyles-criticizes-adidas-and-addresses-misconceptions-about-track-and-field-in-america\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>&ldquo;Anthony Edwards Has a Shoe&rdquo; Noah Lyles Criticizes Adidas and Addresses Misconceptions About Track and Field in America<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Dates and Schedule for the 2025 NBA Offseason<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June 15, 2025<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The deadline for non-college players to withdraw from the 2025 NBA Draft is June 15, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
