Detroit and Lakers are the biggest losers for sure.
How's next year draft? We're drafting at #5 again.

POR gained 1 billion fans and dropped Simons and Ayton.
That is a great offseason.

Houston
San Antonio
Orlando
Atlanta
Denver
New York
Dallas
Are the main ones that come to mind for winners.
It's hard to say losers this early. But I will say that the Lakers and Pelicans are looking bad so far this offseason.

Dallas is the biggest winner simply by virtue of getting Flagg. Then Denver and Houston.
Losers are less clear.

I love the Yang Hansen pick. I had never heard of him but after watching his highlight reel, I'm surprised he didn't go higher. To get a big man with that kind of potential with the 16th pick is awesome.

A lot more could happen but the Bulls look like losers right now
They barely made the play in
they resigned Tre Jones which is a very good move, likely to resign Josh Giddey
traded Lonzo Ball for Isaac Okoro which doesn't do that much
drafted two young bigs
Even if everybody starts the year healthy That short list isn't getting them back to barely in the play in again.

I think Sengun went at about that pick. Hopefully Mmm Bop will be on Senguns level.

How are the Lakers losers? They're finna be getting Ayton..... on Portland's dime
Indiana easily the biggest losers. Sorry to their fans. Can't believe they're not just gonna ride out the 1 year storm and run in back in 26. They were 1 game short of a championship FFS
Even cheap ass Jerry Reinsdorf paid the tax the year after Rose got hurt, and we were never 1 game shy of a championship even with healthy Rose

I'm still curious which teams that have won free agency have won a title. Not very many examples outside of a few outliers but even those were teams that were already great (i.e. Warriors).

HOU got much needed scoring and depth.
DEN got a couple bench guys.

Cam Johnson isn’t a bench guy and Denver has a better starting 5.
Also, there’s a quote feature.
