The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. They not only got the big chip in Kawhi Leonard, but they also got Paul George. They did have to give up a lot for PG, but it should be worth it. They were also able to keep Patrick Beverley which will be huge.
The Brooklyn Nets are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets made the haul of the century. They got Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Of course Durant will be injured for this year, but Kyrie should do well around this young core. I like the pickup of DeAndre Jordan as well. In a few years this Brooklyn team should be in contention for a championship.
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Did you know: The Los Angeles Lakers have the second-highest all-time NBA regular season win-loss record percentage (.598) among all current NBA teams. Sure the Lakers didn't get Kawhi, but they handled the rejection well. They picked up Danny Green who should play a huge rule. They got Rajon Rondo and JaVale McGee back. They pulled DeMarcus Cousins who could make a huge comeback. Oh and did I forget to mention THEY GOT ANTHONY DAVIS.
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Philly is in a great position. They got Josh Richardson and Al Horford. Those are huge role players for Simmons and Embiid. It sucks that they lost Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick, but they should still be good. Plus they resigned Ben Simmons. They should be the top of the East.
The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. I love how the Heat got Jimmy Butler. I think he was born for Miami and now the Heat have an opportunity to get Russell Westbrook. If they get him they might legitimately win the East.
The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. The Jazz improved in the one category they needed to: Offense. They got Mike Conley and they got Bojan Bogdanovich. Those are two big time scorers they desperately need.
The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Pelicans compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. They got great players to surround Zion with. They got JJ Redick who could provide unlimited spacing. Plus they got a haul of players and draft picks from the Lakers and the Hawks.
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total. Personally I love the Kemba move. He fits the Celtics gamelan well and he embraces being a Celtic unlike Kyrie. They lost Al Horford which is bad and they lost Kyrie obviously, but I think getting Kemba and them getting Enes Kanter on a cheap deal is huge.
The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the Eastern Conference Central Division. I though the Bucks had a great off season. They got Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez back. They of course lost Malcolm Brogdon and Nikola Mirotic, but I like additions of Wesley Matthews and Giannis's brother, Thanasis Antekutompo.
The Detroit Pistons are an American professional basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Pistons compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division. I love the signing of Derrick Rose. He is a great fit on this Pistons team.
While the Suns had a horrible draft, I like the addition of Ricky Rubio to lead an offense that really can't score, even though they have scorers.
The Memphis Grizzlies are an American professional basketball team based in Memphis, Tennessee. The Grizzlies compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.
The Washington Wizards are an American professional basketball team based in Washington, D.C. The Wizards compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. I love the signing of IT to support this team in a possible playoff run.
The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The Rockets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. Obviously got Russell Westbrook. If they can get Iggy that would elevate them high.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are an American professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Got a boatload of picks and young players.
