The Sacramento Kings took a step back during the 2023-24 season from the year prior. In 2022-23, they surprised many by finishing with a top three record in the Western Conference. They missed the playoffs this season after falling to the New Orleans Pelicans in the play-in. But the Kings had a sold NBA free agency period that was highlighted by the signings of DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk.

This offseason has been one of the most interesting for the Golden State Warriors. The team moved on from players like Chris Paul and Dario Saric. However, no loss impacted the Warriors more than Klay Thompson‘s departure to join the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson spent the first 13 years of his career in Golden State, winning four championships and being a part of a dynasty in the process. The Warriors won a championship just two years ago, but it is clear the dynasty that took over the 2010s is no more. Now, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are the only players from the 2015 championship team still on the roster. It is fair to assume both players will end their careers in Golden State, but it does not appear to be a guarantee.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Philadelphia 76ers plan to sign veteran guard Reggie Jackson after he clears waivers following a contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets, ESPN reported on Tuesday. Jackson, 34, will add more depth to Philadelphia's backcourt, which features Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, Jared McCain, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon.
