OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA – MAY 30
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Thunder drives against Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs in the NBA Western Conference Finals. As teams like Detroit and Boston show little improvement, Toronto and Philadelphia made significant moves by acquiring Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James, respectively, though concerns about their age and recent playoff performances linger.

Both the Raptors and Sixers likely improved but don’t appear to be true Finals threats.
