5x NBA All-Star Predicted to Join Lakers or Warriors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After their early playoff exits last season, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are both teams to monitor this offseason as they look to re-establish themselves as title contenders for next year.

The move from Milwaukee makes Lillard a rare star-level free agent who could sign for as little as the veteran's minimum. Several reports indicated that Lillard is thrilled to be getting out of Milwaukee (while getting his full payment) in a way that lets him choose his next destination.

The Lakers have been the team most connected to Deandre Ayton, who was bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend, but they need multiple centers. As of now, they only have Trey Jemison and Maxi Kleber on the roster.

Looney's greatest value to the Warriors came in times of desperation. Another pillar of the championship years is now gone.

Kevon Looney's legacy with the Golden State Warriors will never be in question, but his time with the team is coming to an end. According to multiple reports, Looney has agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal to join the New Orleans Pelicans.
