Former Knicks Forward, 36, Announces Decision on Retirement
Former Knicks Forward, 36, Announces Decision on Retirement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The start of the 2025 NBA offseason has already led to impactful changes around the league. From the Houston Rockets acquiring Kevin Durant to the Dallas Mavericks drafting Cooper Flagg, the league is teeming with changes after the Oklahoma City Thunder's dominant championship season. Advertisement As with the end of every NBA season, aging players will be expected to make decisions on their futures. We know old NBA stars like LeBron James, Chris Paul and Al Horford are in the final years of their careers, but they're expected to suit up for the 2025-26 season. One aging star who has now confirmed his retirement decision is Croatian forward Bojan Bogdanovic. He last played for the New York Knicks in 2024.

He thanked all the teams he played for, including European teams like Real Madrid, alongside the NBA teams he represented. He was drafted with the 31st pick in the 2011 NBA draft, but made his NBA debut in 2014 with the Brooklyn Nets. He went on to play for the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons and finally, the Knicks. He averaged 15.6 points and 3.6 rebounds over his career, making $148.5 million over NBA contracts.

Boston Celtics reportedly \
The Boston Celtics got their offseason off to a fast start when they traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. By making those trades, Brad Stevens took the Celtics under the second luxury tax apron, giving the franchise additional flexibility as they head toward free agency and beyond. Following those two trades, rumors have swirled regarding potential deals for Derrick White and/or Jaylen Brown. Outside of Jayson Tatum, White and Brown are the crown jewels of Boston's roster. Therefore, both of them would come at a considerable cost. During a recent episode of "The Zach Lowe Show" podcast, the long-time analyst reported that Boston "laughed" at an offer the Toronto Raptors made for White ahead of draft night. "There were reports that the Raptors offered No. 9 for Derrick White," Lowe said. "I'm told that's true, but it happened like a month-and-a-half ago, right after Jayson Tatum got hurt, and Boston laughed at that offer and said, 'We need way more than No. 9 for Derrick White.'" In a June 28 edition of Jake Fischer's column in the "Stein Line" newsletter, he noted how Boston are likely looking for a similar package to what the New York Knicks paid to acquire Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets last summer. 'Boston told at least one rival team that it would have insisted on a 'Mikal Bridges-type' package to part with Derrick White, league sources say,' Fischer wrote on 'The Stein Line' Substack newsletter on June 28. 'The Celtics have certainly received no shortage of inbound trade calls on both White and Jaylen Brown in recent days, but nothing got serious on either front.' White is one of the best two-way guards in the NBA. After losing Holiday, it's unlikely Stevens signs off on a trade that sees White leave the franchise. Still, as Lowe reported, Boston's high asking price hasn't stopped teams from picking up the phone to test the waters. Watch the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast on: YouTube: Website:

New team floated as potential suitor for Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown and Derrick White have found themselves being floated in trade rumors to begin the NBA offseason. The Boston Celtics duo are two of the best players on the roster. However, with Brad Stevens already trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, it would appear everyone outside of Jayson Tatum is available for the right price. During a recent episode of "The Zach Lowe Show," the long-time NBA analyst floated the Sacramento Kings as a potential suitor for Brown. Lowe did, however, note how he doesn't expect the All-Star forward to be traded this summer. 'I get the sense there was real smoke, there was something going on,' Lowe said. 'That something maybe has subsided. I said last week that I would bet on (White and Brown) being on the Celtics next year but I'm not slamming the door shut on some team — the Kings come to mind — being like, we'll offer you everything, all the swaps, all the picks, whatever you want for Jaylen Brown and at least making the Celtics think about it. I don't think that's going to happen. I think they will both be on the team next year but they instantly could become the main characters of free agency.' The Kings have plenty of assets to piece together an enticing trade offer. The problem is, none of the incoming players are at the level of Brown. Therefore, Boston would be taking a step backward in terms of talent. Stevens is clearly in the early stages of retooling the roster, with an eye on contending in the 2026-27 season once Jayson Tatum returns from an Achilles tendon tear. As such, it's unlikely we see Brown or White moving to a new team this summer, unless, of course, a team produces a trade package similar or better than the one that sent Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks last summer.
