Storylines before free agency starts and the trades start coming..
- Kyrie likely gone, looking to play for the Lakers.. Might opt out and sign for much, much less as teams won't offer him the max he's looking for on a long term deal due to obvious risks
- KD likely to ask for a trade if Kyrie walks..
- Miles Bridges wants the max, Hornets won't give it to him. He'll test free agency. May still stay with the Hornets
- Dejounte on the market. Hawks leading the pursuit
- Donovan Mitchell still wants out
- Gobert likely on the move too
- Ayton unlikely to get the max from the Suns.. Will test the market
- John Wall to get bought out.. Clippers and Lakers (if they don't get Kyrie) likely options..
- No one is bailing the Lakers out with a Westbrook trade..
- Capela and/or Collins maybe on the move from the Hawks
- Beal likely to re-sign with the Wizards on a max contract
- Spurs looking to rebuild and acquire picks for the 23 draft..
- Philly likely to extend Harden and get PJ Tucker.. Morey all in on trying to put his Houston team back together..
