Kevin Durant already has been traded to Houston. The New York Knicks are looking for a coach. Cooper Flagg is about to become the No. 1 pick in the draft. Expansion plans likely will take a big step forward in a few weeks. The Los Angeles Lakers just got sold.

The NBA offseason officially has started. In reality, it’s been going for a few weeks already.

There’s a parade in Oklahoma City on Tuesday to celebrate the newly crowned champion Thunder, and in every other NBA city there’s going a parade of movement — some of which already has started — over the coming weeks to try to catch the champs.

“These are difficult equations,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said as the Warriors were starting their summer more than a month ago. “You look around the league, and you see some teams that have mortgaged their future, and they’re in some trouble. There are other teams that have done so, and they’re championship contenders.”

There are plenty of questions everywhere.

Among them:

— Will the Spurs get Victor Wembanyama back at full strength after he missed the last two months of the regular season with deep vein thrombosis in one of his shoulders? (The answer is believed to be yes.)

— How will Boston, Milwaukee and Eastern Conference champion Indiana fare now that Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton are set to miss most, if not all of, next season with Achilles tendon injuries? (The answer is probably not great.)

— Who will New York get to replace the fired Tom Thibodeau? (The answer is anyone’s guess, especially after multiple teams refused to let their under-contract coaches interview for that gig.)

The injury situations for the Celtics, Bucks and Pacers certainly have teams thinking that the East could be more of a wide-open race in 2025-26.

The Durant trade was probably the biggest in the NBA since the Lakers landed Luka Doncic earlier this year. The team that traded Doncic was the Dallas Mavericks; they went on to win the draft lottery and the right to land Flagg, the one-and-done star out of Duke.

Flagg will be the No. 1 pick on Wednesday night, just like LeBron James was 22 years ago. James has a decision to make on his player option for next season with the Lakers in the coming days, though all signs point to him returning and becoming the first 23-season player in NBA history.

Free agency starts in earnest on June 30, summer leagues in Utah and California open a few days later and then the every-team-goes NBA Summer League in Las Vegas — where Flagg likely will debut as a Mavericks player — opens July 10. There will be a schedule release likely in August, then camps open in late September.
