Looking at rotation players only, and only evaluating for this year.

Suns

In: Durant, Warren
Out: Johnson, Bridges, Crowder*

Impact: Suns much better, as long as Paul/Durant stay healthy.

Lakers

In: Russell, Beasley, Bamba, Vanderbilt
Out: Westbrook, Beverly, Bryant

Impact: Lakers improve.

Clippers

In: Gordon, Hyland, Plumlee
Out: Jackson, Wall, Kennard

Impact: Clippers are better.

Grizzlies

In: Kennard
Out: D. Green

Impact: Grizzlies are better.


Mavericks

In: Irving
Out: Finney-Smith, Dinwiddie

Impact: Little better (not a Kyrie fan)

Warriors

In: Payton
Out: Wiseman (not really in rotation, but anyway)

Impact: Warriors are better.

Timberwolves

In: Conley, (maybe Beverly soon)
Out: Russell

Impact: Marginal

Nuggets

In: Bryant
Out: Hyland

Impact: Marginal.

Pelicans

In: Richardson
Out: Graham

Impact: Marginal

Thunder

In: Saric
Out: Bazley, Muscala

Impact: Marginal

Kings

Impact: None

Spurs

In: Birch, Graham
Out: Poetl, Richardson

Impact: Worse

Blazers

In: Thybulle, Reddish
Out: Payton, Hart

Impact: Blazers are worse.

Rockets

In: J. Holiday, Wall/Green for now

Richardson is better than Kennard.

Kennard can shoot....and that's basically it.

Richardson is a two-way jack of all trades, master of none. But if he were a master of some he'd be 2x the price and a starter somewhere.

This is the last ride for CP3. Will be fitting when BI eliminates KD(and CP) in the semis.

Grizzlies added some shooting, thats it. I like kennard. I wanted the pels to get him but he isn't the difference between the Grizz making a run or not. Superstars like Durant are difference makers

Also the clippers moves are meh. Nothing game changing happened there. Theyre marginally better if you believe KL and PG can be healthy

I agree, nothing game changing. I think the changing of the guards is pretty much a wash, but Plumlee is a nice pickup as a backup big.

Same with the Warriors. They are marginally better at best after adding GP2

The only teams that likely vastly improved were the Mavs and Suns. The Lakers are probably in the next tier by themselves, maybe the Clips too, and then you have the rest of the marginally improved teams

Game changing, no, but Bones and Gordon are better versions of what they had and fit needs well.

With Bones having the ability to continue growing into a starter in this league
