Top Ten NBA Contenders with the Greatest Needs Going Into the 2019-20 Season

Every team is forced to make adjustments to get where they want to get. These team especially because they have championship aspirations. Let's look at the Top Ten Contenders that need to make changes coming into this season.
The Top Ten
1 Philadelphia 76ers - Shooting

The Sixers really need shooting. Ben Simmons obviously can't shoot, J.J. Redick is gone, Tobias Harris is ok, and Joel and Al Horford are below average. They did do well to add Josh Richardson, but that is simply not enough. To make matters worse they have two bad shooters in Zhaire Smith and Matisse Thybulle off the bench.

2 Milwaukee Bucks - Rim Runner

The Bucks really need a physical rim runner. Brook Lopez is good and I like him in the starting lineup, but they need someone off the bench that can rim run. Giannis is the only good rim runner, but he has the ball in his hand most of the time. As I am making this list though Kenneth Faried is still out there, so I would go after him, because he is an expert run runner.

3 Los Angeles Lakers - Shooting

Another team that needs shooting. Danny Green is the only expert shooter on this team. LeBron is decent, AD is decent, and they got a few more good shooters, but I feel like they can get some more.

4 Los Angeles Clippers - Playmaking

I have some real questions about the playmaking on this team. They have Patrick Beverley at Point. Beverly is not a natural passer, in fact they don't have a single natural passer/pure point on their team. They have to make a change.

5 Houston Rockets - Defense

The Rockets problem has always been defense. The better they get defensively the better their shot at a title.

6 Golden State Warriors - Defense

The Warriors need more defense. Losing Iggy and KD was really hard on them. Adding D'Lo won't help the Warriors either defensively.

7 Brooklyn Nets - KD

Honestly with the Nets it is all their. They have everything you could ask for except for KD who is injured. If they get KD fully healthy they will be unstoppable.

8 Sacramento Kings - Better GM

I honestly don't get what their GM is doing. They have a nice young core, but they decide to add guys like Harrison Barnes and Kosta Kufos on huge contracts.

9 Denver Nuggets - Health

They have had very unfortunate injuries. Getting MPJ and Bol Bol back and getting everybody to stay healthy would be beneficial.

10 Boston Celtics - Second Star & Offense
The Contenders
11 Miami Heat - Second Star

It would be nice to have someone next to Jimmy.

12 Toronto Raptors - Star Player
