NBA offseason upheaval centers on LeBron, Lakers sale and roster uncertainty
LeBron James' move to Philadelphia has reshaped the NBA offseason, while the Lakers' record $12.5 billion sale to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger raises ownership and Luka Doncic patience concerns. Los Angeles missed on Jonathan Kuminga, who chose Minnesota on a two-year, $6 million prove-it deal; James Harden's Cleveland move, Klay Thompson's Miami signing and Miami's addition of Nick Richards continue the roster reshuffling. Preseason forecasts remain uncertain.
