For the vast majority of NBA teams, Monday marks media day and the start of training camp for the 2023-24 season. A lot has happened since Nikola Jokić led the Denver Nuggets to the franchise's first championship in June, so we are here to offer you a refresher course — the 16 things you need to know in the preseason.
from the Philadelphia 76ers on the eve of free agency, shortly after he picked up his $35.6 million contract option for the 2023-24 NBA season. Damian Lillardfrom the Portland Trail Blazers on July 1, soon after the team drafted his replacement and failed to bolster its roster on the opening day of free agency. Lillard is entering the first season of a four-year, $176 million contract, which he signed an extension on in July 2022. Three months from their requests, only one has been traded.
The Bucks tabbed first-time head coach Adrian Griffin to make good on that promise, but the roster around Antetokounmpo is no younger. Brook Lopez is 35 years old. Lillard and Jae Crowder turned 33 in July. Khris Middleton is 32 and oft-injured. Antetokounmpo, Lillard, Middleton and Lopez are owed $152 million in the final year of Antetokounmpo's deal . Anything less than immediate success could be calamitous.
Still, the Suns did well to piece together a roster around their three stars. As the third team in the Lillard deal, they turned Ayton into Jusuf Nurkić, Nassir Little and Grayson Allen. They added Eric Gordon for the veteran minimum and took fliers on Keita Bates-Diop, Yuta Watanabe, Drew Eubanks and Bol Bol. There are real questions about what any of them can give the Suns in the playoffs, but at least they have options.
The 7-foot-4 Frenchman is among the handful of most-hyped prospects in NBA history, somewhere alongside LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Wembanyama can score over anyone from anywhere on the court —— and his 8-foot wingspan is as disruptive on defense as any skill the game's best defenders can conjure. The future is here, and its name is Victor.
How much any of this helps the Mavericks bounce back from a 38-win season to something closer to their 2021 Western Conference finals campaign is up for debate. Where that conversation settles by the end of this season will determine how loud speculation gets about Dončić's happiness in Dallas. He has seen the lengths the Bucks were willing to go to satisfy Antetokounmpo, and he will expect the same treatment.The healthy returns of 2021 No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham and 2022 No.
Now that Houston is no longer tanking, the NBA can count only the Wizards as a team built to lose. Even the post-Lillard Blazers boast a fascinating potential starting lineup of Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton. The Pistons and Hornets could also join a late-season race to the bottom of the standings, but it will not be for lack of trying to win at the outset of the season.
