The Western Conference had a host of moves this offseason, here are some of the movements made by various teams, hope I didnt miss anything of any importance!!!
News just in, the Spurs GM has been released by his franchise!! This just makes things more interesting for the league this upcoming season!!!
Midwest Division
Dallas Mavericks
Additions:
Clay McCulloch
Lloyd Wesley(Trade)
Bobby Gruenig (Trade)
Subtractions:
John Jenkins retires
Patrick Patterson
Mitchell Barlow
Ben Allen
Brett Bee (Trade)
Projected Starting Line Up:
C: Enes Kanter
PF: Clay McCullough
SF: Theo Pinson
SG: Derrick Rose
PG: John Wall
The Mavs re-signed Clay McCullough and have their starting line up set and ready for the new season. They have their starting lineup set and just need to sign a few players off the waiver wire to bring their roster to 12 players. John Wall and Derrick Rose will be at the fore with strong contributions coming from Pinson and Kanter. Look for another very good season from the battle hardened Mavs.
Denver Nuggets
Additions:
1st pick in the 1st round - Lucian Mathis
1st pick in the 2nd round Nuggets - Julio Newell
Nate Neveau (Re-signed)
O.J. Mayo (Re-signed)
Isaiah Austin (FA)
Johnny Dooley(Trade)
Subtractions:
Sebastian Baugh (Trade)
Adrian Oliver retires
Tommy McDermott
James Settles
Louis Williams
Perry Ellis
Projected Starting Line Up:
C Olsen
Pf Dooley
SF Mathis
SG Gress
PG Neveau
Matinez came into the offseason with plenty of money and spent it on Sebastian Baugh and Isiah Austin. He managed to trade both off for picks and a host of young players. Johnny Dooley comes in from the Clipper trade and starts at PF with number 1 pick Dooley sliding to SF alongside Gress and Neveau. Olsen starts at PF, who in his third year is looking at improving on his scoring, rebounding and shotblocks the a consecutive third year. News just in, the trade between the Nuggets was vetoed and both sets of players return to their teams.
Houston Rockets
Additions:
13th pick in the 1st round - Konnor Hunter
16th pick in the 2nd round - Haiden Whitaker
Jonas Jordan (Re-signed)
Subtractions:
Justin King
Bruce Keith
Lorenzo Glass
Anthony Davis
Projected Starting Line Up:
C-Hoover
PF-Cabrera
SF-Looney
SG-Rad
PG-Garner
The Rockets are one of two teams who need to reach 50 wins to avoid being released. They have a mix of youngsters and guys who are in the middle of their most productive years in the league. Cabrera and Hoover provide a tough obstacle down low for opposing players, Cabrera channels them to Hoover who sends the shot sailing. Looney and Radejevic are the SF and SGs with Rad becoming more and more of the go-to guy for the Rockets. Caiden Carner is the distributor and in a slow offense will wait until the opportunity arises before he lets go of the ball. Good luck Kru!!!
Minnesota Timberwolves
Additions:
Reontre Lawrence (Re-signed)
Sheldon McClellan (Re-signed)
Tim Swift (FA)
Omar Calhoun (FA)
Isaiah Hicks (FA)
Keith Frazier (FA)
Subtractions:
Jonny Flynn retires
Samson Abbott
Tyler Honeycutt
Kevin Ferrell
Projected Starting Line Up:
C:Jake Bennett
PF:Norlene Noels
SF:Shelden McClellan
SG:Chris Thomas
PG:Reontre Lawrence
The Twolves come into the season looking to improve on their 45-37 outing last season. They had a sub par pre season but Chris Thomas and Reontre Lawrence showed they will be a pretty good duo in the back court. McClellan sat out pre-season and could be a little out of touch when the season starts, they do have good depth off the bench with Jordan Hamilton and Darwin Drake coming off the bench. Noels and Bennett will man the post with Copeland coming off the bench.
San Antonio Spurs
Additions:
4th pick in the 1st round - Nicolas Francois
Kennedy Meeks (re-signed)
Anthony Davis (FA)
C.J Leslie (Re-signed)
Subtractions:
5th pick in the 2nd - Jaxson Kent (Trade)
19th pick in the 2nd - Leland Buckner (Trade)
25th pick in the 2nd - Jon Pack (Trade)
Chase Carnevale
Jaquan Lyle
Seth Wootten
Eric Cooper
Projected Starting Line Up:
C-Cliff Alexander
PF-Malcolm Miller
SF-Terrell Brown
SG-Juwon Gooding
PG-Peyton Allen
The Spurs are the 2nd team looking at winning 50 games this season and find a tough road ahead of them. They have recently acquired the services of Isaiah Austin from the Nuggets and are waiting on league approval for a trade between themselves and the Blazers. All said and done they need to string 50 wins and will need Gooding, Austin and Cliffy to step up. News just in, both deals have been vetoed by the league office and all parties go back to their respective teams.
Utah Jazz
Additions:
Donnie Hissa (Re-signed)
Te'Jon Lucas (Re-signed)
Savion Sheppard (Re-signed)
9th pick in the 1st round Gauge Sloan
17th pick in the 1st round Frank Maldonado
19th pick in the 1st round Knox McLeod
Ryan Solberg (Re-signed)
Subtractions:
Mike Shaw
Terrance Williams
Projected Starting Line Up:
C: Solberg
PF: Sullinger
SF: Lucas
SG: Hannum
PG: Mourning
The Utah Jazz much to Dons surprise made the playoffs last season and has pretty much the same roster with 3 rookies who could play some decent minutes off the bench. Quentin Mourning has impressed this offseason with an improvement in his outside shot and defense which showed in preseason. He had totals of 22 pts, 7 assts, 2 stls and 1.6 TOs , if he can emulate that in the regular season, Don will be pleased to say the least. Also getting the starting nod for the Jazz is 2nd year guard Don Hannum who impressed in the preseason as well. Lucas gets the nod at SF but will have Gauge Sloan nipping at his heels. Jared Sullinger and Solberg round out the starting 5 for the Utah Jazz.
Vancouver Grizzlies
Additions:
20th pick in the 1st round - Aleksy Coleman
20th pick in the 2nd round - Brian Stanley
Al-Farouq Aminu (Re-signed)
Joffery Lauvergne (Re-signed)
Kyrie Irving (Re-signed)
Maurice Harkless (Re-signed)
Brent Bach(Re-signed)
Subtractions:
Brandon Triche
Tyus Jones
Dawson Yardley
Projected Starting Line Up:
C: Ham Jr
PF: Patric Young
SF: Maggette
SG: Hollowell
PG: Bach
The Grizzlies have added two rookies in Brian Stanley and Aleksy Coleman to their roster and have the same starting lineup this year that ended last season. Maggette had an improvement in his defense and his if his form in preseason is anything to go by, he will probably have a great season. He is flanked by some experienced guys who are pretty good players in Hollowell and Young. Bach is a player that can do it all and Ham Jr will man the middle. Traves has stated he will go again with this roster this season before he rebuilds, so time is running out for these guys before they split up like the Jackson 5!!
Pacific Division
Golden State Warriors
Additions:
2th pick in the 1st round - Salvatore Lucas
25th pick in the 1st round - Kyler Lowery
2nd pick in the 2nd round Warriors - Joaquin Stuart
Cole Walker(Re-signed)
Trey Knight (FA)
Deacon Boyer (Re-signed)
Subtractions:
Durrell Summers
Eric Bledsoe
Joe Jackson
Ricardo Ledo
Thomas Robinson
Nigel Williams Goss ( Traded to Clippers)
Projected Starting Line Up:
C - Deacon Boyer
PF - Kyler Lowery
SF - Kejuan Johnson
SG - Jerome Azario
PG - Salvatore Lucas
Spencer is in the middle of his teams rebuild and picked up a nice player in the form of Salvatore Lucas with the 2nd pick in this years draft. The rookie tournament had Salvatore head and shoulders above the other PGs and was slated by Broph as the top pick. He was almost overlooked by Spencer, but he thought better of it. Preseason showed that Lucas could very well win the ROY award at seasons end but he might get some stiff competition for Tanner Wade. Jerome Azario will partner Lucas with Kejuan Johnson, Kyle Lowery and Decon Boyer rounding out the starting 5.
Los Angeles Clippers
Additions:
Jordair Jett (Resigned)
3rd pick in the 1st round Ari Marks
23th pick in the 1st round - Matias Mack
3rd pick in the 2nd round - Tyrone Soto

Nigel Williams Goss (Trade with the Warriors)
Subtractions:
Blake Griffin retires
Travis Leslie
Edwin Stith
Greg Oden
P.J. Thompson
D'Angelo Russell
Adonis Thomas
Isaac Mihalik
Projected Starting Line Up:
C: Sebastian Bauch
PF: Shaun Lyles
SF: Jordair Jett
SG: Donovan Reid
PG: Ari Marks
The Clippers have recently acquired Baugh from the Nuggets and he will man the middle for the LA team. They are in phase one of their contract year and will be looking at making the playoffs this year and next or securing 50 wins on the season. Donovan Reid is the star of the team with Jordair Jett and Shaun Lyles picking up the slack. The 3rd pickl in the draft Ari Marks is the starting PG for the Clippers and will find out if he will be able to sink or swim in the big league!!
Los Angeles Lakers
Additions:
Jonathan Carson (Re-signed)
23th pick in the 2nd round - Max Nowitzki
Brendon Wilson (Re-signed)
Greg Oden (FA)
Kyle Wiltjer (Re-signed)
SubtractionsDerrick Williams
Mike Gesell
Torre Willridge
Projected Starting Line Up:
C: DaKari Johnson
PF: Kyle Wiltjer
SF: Andrew Harrison
SG: Aaron Harrison
PG: Larry Austin
The Lakers are in the hunt for a PG, although Larry Austin is a pretty good player judging by his preseason stats ( 19 pts, 10 assts and 7 rebs). Shaqquan Aaron was the preferred choice at PG, but because of the PG rule, he is unable to play there. He will however, back up PG/SG/SF for the Lakers, which should still see him play a fair amount of minutes. The Harrison Twins start at SG and SF with the underrated Wiltjer playing at PF. The ever impressive Dakari Johnson rounds out the starting 5 making this line up pretty tough to beat.
Phoenix Suns
Additions:
Beejay Anya (Re-signed)
Taylen AlexandeR (Re-signed)
11th pick in the 1st round Cummings
13th pick in the 2nd round Sam Bernard

SF-Damian Daniels
SG-Taylon Alexander
PG-Timothy Caffey
The 2024 rookie of the year Timothy Caffey will team up with the impressive Damian Daniels to lead the Suns to 42 wins or the playoffs for phase 1 of the contract year. Game is in the hunt for a big and feels he will be ok when he finds one. Perea, ANya and Randle will handle the post by committee in the meantime

C- Leron Black
PF-Mickey Mitchell
SF-Tripp Guerra
SG-Quincy Miller
PG-Abdul Gaddy
At the time of writing this, the Blazers were waiting on a deal between themselves and the Spurs being approved from those on high. However, with the team they have currently, they could make some noise this year. Tmacs has been talking about a total rebuild after their capitulation in the recent playoffs, but ya never know, they could finally put this together and go all the way!!

He has decided to experiment by bringing Anthony Davis into the starting lineup and having Brad Beal come off the bench.He has some nice front court depth with Marose and Lattin as well as a host of rookies to ply their trade of the bench.
