With the 2023-24 NBA season drawing nearer, all eyes are once again on LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Their championship window is still open, which is why the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors have been active this offseason.

Rob Pelinka picked up where he left off in February by making a number of moves in the open market, making a case for the Lakers to be considered the big winners of the free agency.

The Dubs, meanwhile, have also made significant moves, including the Chris Paul trade and the contract extension of Draymond Green. Now, these teams could be competitors in the race to sign a veteran free agent.
