Rumors:
Kings and Nuggets in trade talks surrounding DeMarcus Cousins, Kenneth Faried, and Ty Lawson.
King reject Nuggets offer for #6 pick in the draft in return for Ty Lawson.
Golden State Warriors are actively shopping David Lee.
Cavaliers expect LeBron James, Kevin Love, and J.R Smith to opt-out of contracts. Kevin Love rumored to be considering leaving, J.R and LeBron expected to sign new contracts with the Cavs.
LaMarcus Aldridge's top destinations: San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks.
Tony Parker believes the Spurs' big three will return for one more season (Which would mean that LaMarcus Aldridge is very unlikely to go to San Antonio).
In summary:
No major moves have been made this offseason, however it is poised to be a big one. If LaMarcus Aldridge, Ty Lawson, and DeMarcus Cousins all see new teams, the western conference could be much different next season. It seems that either most teams will re-sign their big name players, and this offseason will be about adding role players, or a large numberof big name players will move, shaking up the league entirely. Teams like the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets have reached a pivotal point. The Nuggets want Ty Lawson out of Denver, and they want a clean slate. The Blazers biggest challenge will be retaining Wesley Matthews and LaMarcus Aldridge, or they could face a rebuild.
