LAL: DNPs for a starter.

• Braun, proven connector next to a playmaker. He can start and cover the perimeter defense for Luka and AR.

DEN:depth for more pieces.

• DJJ, braun replacement as perimeter defender

• Vando, Pwat's replacement as the taller wing defender

• Dunn, outlier. Defensive PG off-bench or start with Jamal

• Knecht, fresh start

LAC: Focus on the youngins

• Stawther, got upsides of a creator/shooter but hasn't gotten a real chance

• Nnaji, stretch 4/5. Need some front court depth
