Here are five NBA contenders that still need to improve their bench before the season after a wild free agency period that reshuffled the league.

The Los Angeles Lakers should be kicking themselves after missing out on a top trade target.

Heading into this offseason, a big area of emphasis for the Los Angeles Lakers was bolstering the center position. They were able to do exactly that by bringing in Walker Kessler via a sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz and then signing backup center Kevon Looney. Additionally, Sandro Mamukelashvili can play small-ball five in some lineup […]

Here is a sneaky trade proposal that would bring Cam Johnson to the Trail Blazers and give them a much-needed shooting upgrade at the wing.

Of all the possible scenarios for the offseason for the Golden State Warriors, the one that actually happened is the most depressing of all.

The Lakers' decisions have raised eyebrows.

Here is a blockbuster mock trade that sends Naz Reid to the Spurs in exchange for Keldon Johnson, Carter Bryant, and a protected first-round pick.

Also, what is New Orleans doing? Or, for that matter, what is Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon doing?

Where should LeBron go?

I’m not saying Alex Len has anything left or excites anyone. But he was in camp with the Knicks last year, is familiar with Mike Brown & I could see him being one of the two or three bigs they bring to camp to battle it out for the last spot. In Len’s defense, the free agent options aside from Nick Richards & Sochan (who’s a bit undersized for center depth) are Mason Plumlee, Bismack Biyombo, Drew Eubanks, Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Chris Boucher, Moses Brown & Tony Bradley. submitted by /u...

Team officials reportedly believe the Lakers has assembled one of the NBA's most dynamic offensive rosters this offseason.

It's technically possible, but there's a narrow path to a trade.

Many of you guys have mentioned Cisse’s name over the last few weeks and it’s fun to see that the NBA champs are still trying to work the margins. Appreciate Leon Rose for taking the swing, which always seemed like a fruitless endeavor. Back to the drawing board for a third big. Seems like it’s down to Nick Richards or just bringing a few bodies to training camp to fight it out. submitted by /u/Joeblowpublic [link] [comments]

Sixers The Sixers didn’t waste any time addressing one of their biggest needs in free agency. As Adam Aaronson of the Philly Voice noted, Philadelphia made former Cavaliers forward Dean Wade its top priority when the market opened, valuing his defensive versatility, floor spacing and willingness to do the little things for a roster already […] The post NBA Notes: Sixers, Dean Wade, Bulls, Caleb Wilson, Heat appeared first on Hoops Wire.
