The Boston Celtics are expected to have interest in the top two potential free agents on the market in 2022 in Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine.

Beal could sign an extension with the Washington Wizards, however, when he becomes eligible in October. 

LaVine has demonstrated more capacity to defend during his experience in the Olympics. 

The Chicago Bulls are hoping to build a contending team around LaVine as they've aggressively acquired Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan this year.

Anthony Davis Was Frustrated By Looks Generated By Dennis Schroder

Sep 1, 2021 10:58 AM

Anthony Davis felt some frustration that he wasn't getting the kind of passes he was receiving from Dennis Schroder as he had a year earlier with Rajon Rondo, a source tells Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report. 

Schroder and Davis only connected on one lob all season.

The Los Angeles Lakers let Schroder walk, signed Rondo and also traded for Russell Westbrook. While Westbrook may complicate the Lakers' floor spacing, his ability to get into the lane will certainly create more lob opportunities for Davis.
