The NBA has set the salary cap for the coming season at $154.647 million – the maximum allowed 10 percent increase over the level for this past season. The tax level for the 2025–26 season is $187.895 million, the league said Monday. The cap and tax go into effect on Tuesday, and the league's moratorium period for most signings will be lifted at noon on Sunday. Other numbers set by the league for the coming season: – The minimum team salary is $139.182 million. – The first apron level is $195.945 million. – The second apron level is $207.824 million. The midlevel exception levels were set at $14.104 million for non-taxpayer levels, $5.685 million for taxpayer levels, and $8.781 million for teams with room under the salary cap. The cap for next season, if it were to rise 7 percent as planned, would be around $165.5 million. That figure will not be set until June 2026.

NBA Draft 2025 live first-round trade grades: Grading notable trades
The annual NBA Draft isn't just about dynamic young prospects like the special Cooper Flagg starting new, worthwhile life adventures. Usually, it applies to various established NBA veterans, and when we get lucky, superstars around the league. That's because NBA organizations like to use the draft as a de facto trade negotiating table. One where deals and trades are magnified and more likely because of the pressure of a deadline, and because the draft is a natural place for everyone to gather. With early July's free agency on the horizon, the draft becomes the perfect place to facilitate conversation and sow chaos. Advertisement In this regard, the 2025 NBA Draft should be no different. NBA DRAFT GRADES: Analysis for all first-round picks in 2025 In fact, thanks to the league's dangerous second apron tax rule, which is already scaring perennial title-contending squads like the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets, this year's draft might be even more chaotic than usual. Call it a hunch, but we're probably going to see at least a few big names that we didn't expect changing jerseys, mailing addresses, and zip codes by the end of the night. We will grade almost every meaningful trade that involves players during the 2025 draft. It is meant to provide context and color to one of the more enjoyable nights on the NBA calendar. Advertisement Of course, not every transaction carries the same weight. Quite obviously, some deals will feel more significant and impactful on the NBA's landscape. If indeed included (we're playing it by ear here), others might be forgettable wheeling and dealing behind the scenes that would otherwise almost never draw a single headline. And if a trade feels like it could be setting something else much more elaborate and monumental up, you better believe I'll have a handle on it. Without further ado, let's dive in and have some fun, dearest readers. TRADE 1: Charlotte Hornets send C Mark Williams to the Phoenix Suns for G Vasilije Micić, the No. 29 overall pick in the 2025 draft, and a 2029 first-round draft pick After his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers was nixed last season, it was clear that Williams was not long for Charlotte. For one, it was apparent the Hornets believed Williams no longer fit in their long-term plans. Their concerns, on some level, are surely at least somewhat related to Williams' health issues as he started his NBA career. Foot injuries have limited Williams' availability to an alarming degree over the last couple of years. For the other, there was no realistic path for Charlotte to repair its relationship with the young big man after almost shipping off across the entire country. Advertisement So, Williams is now a Sun. If Williams can stay healthy, the 23-year-old center is an athletic rim-runner who also protects the rim rather well. In this event, he'll be worth the trade price. He can be a building block for a Phoenix team that is somewhat starting over after trading Kevin Durant. But again, the key is whether he can stay healthy enough to be reliable. And that remains to be seen. Grade: B TRADE 2: Portland Trail Blazers trade No. 11 overall pick G Cedric Coward to the Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 16 overall draft pick, a future first-round draft pick, and two undisclosed second-round draft picks. A versatile all-around wing with a solid shooting stroke, Coward felt like a perfect pick for an ascending Portland squad that could use more young athleticism. Fortunately, the same could be said for the Grizzlies after they officially moved up to acquire his draft rights. The fit is more or less the same. Advertisement As the Grizzlies try to retool without long-time franchise piece Desmond Bane, Coward's capacity toward two-way play should give him a decent floor to work with as a rookie. More importantly, his ceiling to continue growing makes him someone worth developing to slot next to Ja Morant in the long term. Coward will need to get stronger, but handling your business in the weight room is one of the easiest tasks for a young NBA player.

The 2025 NBA Draft order started with the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, and the Philadelphia 76ers. Check out our complete NBA Draft order guide for the full list of 59 picks. Some of the notable 2025 NBA Draft prospects include Duke's Cooper Flagg, Rutgers' Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, and Baylor's VJ Edgecombe. Some of the other top prospects include: In advance of the draft lottery broadcast, an actual lottery takes place with a representative from the accounting firm Ernst & Young overseeing the entire process. The results of that drawing are then sealed in an envelope for NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum to reveal in descending order to a panel of 14 anxious team representatives. The No. 1 pick in the draft is awarded to the team that draws the winning four-number combination from the lottery machine. There are 14 ping-pong balls numbered one through 14, with each number representing a different lottery team. In total, there are 1,001 possible four-number combinations, but only one winning combination. Once a winner is selected, the drawing process is repeated to determine picks 2-4. The rest of the draft is done in order of win percentage. Since 1989, the NBA Draft has consisted of two rounds. In the '60s, the drafts ran until teams had run out of prospects, leading to drafts lasting up to 21 rounds. In 1974, 10 rounds were more common and in 1985 it was shortened to seven rounds. The NBPA and NBA agreed to limit the draft to two rounds with undrafted players given the chance to try out for any team. The 2025 NBA Draft Combine took place from Sunday, May 11, 2025, to Sunday, May 18, 2025, in Chicago, IL.
