5 NBA Teams With Intriguing Offseasons: Lakers & Warriors Worry

Will Stephen Curry Remain Part Of The Biig Three?

Lastly, the Golden State Warriors are a franchise that captures the attention of NBA fans. The big question is what to make of the future of their Big 3. The fans wait to see if Stephen Curry, Klay Thomson, and Draymond Green will stay together or if the Warriors will break up the trio. What to do with the three legends? The team has already added youth to its core, with Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, along with the up-and-comers Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson Davis, coming off strong rookie seasons. It will be interesting to see what management can do anything in the offseason as they look to avoid the play-in games in 2025.

Tyrese Hilburton Is A Rising Star Of The Pacers

Another team that's forward to a fantastic offseason is the Indiana Pacers. With their unexpected win over the New York Knicks in the conference semifinals, the Pacers find themselves in a surprising place: the Eastern Conference Finals. Regardless of how they perform against the Celtics, Indiana has much to look forward to with its offensively solid team.

They beat a former championship team —the Milwaukee Bucks — just before they beat the Knicks. This is a season to build on. Tyrese Haliburton is the team's star, the highest-scoring in the league this year, with an average of 123.5 points per game — impressive. They added the athletic Obi Toppin last offseason, followed by their trade for Pascal Siakam. The future is now in Indiana, and how well they will perform in the offseason will dictate where they go from here.

Will LeBron Lead LA into the Future?

The Los Angeles Lakers are yet another team with a pivotal offseason ahead of them. With LeBron James in the season-veteran stage of his career paired with rising talents like Rui Hachimura, there are pieces to build upon. In addition to the King, LA has a superstar in Anthony Davis and a core piece in Taurean Prince, two other players who have a significant amount of potential, with health looming as a potential question mark. Rather than blow it up, the Lakers should build upon a strong foundation, but will it be too little, too late?

Scoot Looks to Blaze a New Portland Path

The Portland Trail Blazers did quite well in the draft pick this season by securing guard Scoot Henderson and wing Kris Murray. They compliment veteran Jerami Grant. Add into the mix the potential of Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons; the Blazers have loads of potential growth going into next season. With another top-10 pick, Portland can add to their young core. Portland could be an exciting young team in the West quietly building in the background, depending on how they coordinate their future assets.
