As summer draws to a close, we’re finally gaining a clear picture of how the NBA will look in 2022-23. 

For much of the season, there were more rumors than actual events. Still, the league saw its share of moves that will irrevocably alter its landscape. Most recently, Donovan Mitchell was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Los Angeles Lakers should trade Russell Westbrook any day now. Right? It’s hard to say.
