The Los Angeles Lakers are said to be desperate to find a new Kobe Bryant in their roster with D'Angelo Russell, Brandom Ingram and Jordan Clarkson failing to meet expectations - the same ones set and met by Kristaps Porzingis in the New York Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns in the Minnesota Timberwolves. The lack of confidence and aggressiveness in the lineup, which former Golden State Warriors coach Luke Walton described as "weak," now makes it imperative for the front office to sign a leader who can pick up the pace and set a model for the team. Will a Gordon Hayward contract be the answer to these problems?

The Houston Rockets are steadily gaining steam into the NBA playoffs with James Harden impressing even fellow MVP candidates LeBron James and Stephen Curry. However, fans of The Beard believe that the team needs a stronger support system for their main man. Among the potential free agents going into the market soon, a Serge Ibaka contract to the Eric Gordon squad seems to be the most appealing.

The San Antonio Spurs are making a big push towards unseating the Golden State Warriors in the West. Although Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge have been doing their best to lead the team, injuries from their go-to guys like Tony Parker tend to hamper their run. With this in mind, it appears that Gregg Popovich is looking into a long-term solution via a Paul George contract.

The Russell Westbrook stats this NBA season have been nothing short of spectacular, with the Oklahoma star surpassing the records of Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Despite his impressive season, however, the Steven Adams team still struggles in the sixth seed with the Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets ahead of them. The Enes Kanter team definitely needs more wins to catch up with the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs. Will a Carmelo Anthony contract be the answer to their woes?

The Green Bay Packers had a very strong NFL season with the Atlanta Falcons blocking their way to a Super Bowl run against the New England Patriots. While the Aaron Rodgers team had been disappointed when they failed to face off against the Tom Brady squad, they remain one of the most serious contenders every season. What will happen if the Jordy Nelson team manages to actually sign one of the most talented football stars in the league? Will this finally bring the Super Bowl trophy to their locker room?

The Philadelphia Eagles have been looking for better ways to support the growth of young quarterback Carson Wentz in the league. While his debut season was not as wildly lauded as Dak Prescott with the Dallas Cowboys, the young star of the Darren Sproles team proved to be quite a find for his current NFL team. However, it looks like the front office wants to kick their performance up a notch and add yet another promising young quarterback - one who has been struggling to prove his worth in the past seasons.

The Tony Romo contract drama has practically everyone in the Houston Texans locker room and front office be anxious to see how things turn out in the end. Since the Dallas Cowboys seem to be having a difficult time assessing the situation and finding ways to reconcile the issues, the JJ Watt team appears to be looking elsewhere for their own solutions. Hence, a Ryan Fitzpatrick contract may be in the works in the Tom Savage squad soon.

The New York Knicks and Derrick Rose are anticipated to head to a divorce soon with the Phil Jackson team even contemplating a huge Carmelo Anthony trade to keep only Kristaps Porzingis and some cheaper contracts. With the rebuilding process presumably to start in the Joakim Noah as soon as the NBA playoffs commence, a lot of players in the roster might have to look for new homes soon. However, it looks like D-Rose might get to still stay in New York next season.

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to beef up their roster as quickly as possible while the rest of the league gets busy with the NBA playoffs. With the D'Angelo Russell squad out of the running this season, the group seems to be brewing its comeback plans for the next year. Among the big changes anticipated from the Brandon Ingram team is the reported Andre Iguodala contract courtesy of Luke Walton.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are reigning supreme in the East with a toss-up between Isaiah Thomas' Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors of DeaMar DeRozan to hopefully unseat LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love on top. While the West still has no clear champion in the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets, the Tristan Thompson team is said to be quietly looking for stars who can help them win a back-to-back NBA Finals championship. Will the latest addition be a Jeff Teague contract?

The Golden State Warriors are working hard to keep their top seed in the West as the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets slowly rack up wins to potentially unseat Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. With Kevin Durant off the lineup due to injuries, the Andre Iguodala squad seems to be reconsidering ways to ensure that the group remains stronger than ever especially coming in the 2017 NBA playoffs. Will a Paul Millsap contract be a good option for the Dub Nation?

The Miami Heat has been looking for ways to make up for the exit of Dwyane Wade, who currently dominates with the Chicago Bulls, thus NBA season. Looking to both Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside to turn things around for the Justise Winslow team, Erik Spoelstra seems to be looking for a third leader. Will this mean a Jrue Holiday contract to Pat Riley's squad?

The San Antonio Spurs are getting dangerously close to unseating the Golden State Warriors as the top seed in the West. However, the Kawhi Leonard squad appears to still lack the star power to eliminate the super team of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Will a Carmelo Anthony trade to the Pau Gasol group finally put them on top?

The Houston Rockets are coming off an impressive season with their 2017 NBA playoffs spot all but guaranteed. Thanks largely to the remarkable leadership of potential MVP James Harden, the Eric Gordon team now sits comfortably in third place with only the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors blocking their way to the top. Will the addition of a Blake Griffin contract clinch their victory in the West and possibly over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals this year?

The Dallas Cowboys have been looking into potential mentors for Dak Prescott following the remarkable debut of the rookie in the past NFL season. With the league coming short of veteran quarterbacks to offer and Tony Romo seemingly eager to opt out of his contract with the Zek Elliots team, Jerry Jones appears to be mulling over a cheap Michael Vick contract next season. Will the veteran quarterback agree to a return to the gridiron?

The San Francisco 49ers just released Colin Kaepernick from the roster. This gives the Blaine Gabbert team significant cap space to sign free agents this offseason. While the Tony Romo contract is still a possibility for most NFL team, it looks like the Carlos Hyde squad is setting their sights of Jay Cutler. Will the former Chicago Bears star prove his detractors wrong once and for all? Will this be the fresh start for him?

The Carolina Panthers had a disappointing NFL season following their astounding Super Bowl run against the Denver Broncos last year. However, it seems that some fans feel that the problems of the Cam Newton team exceed the gridiron demands. That is, the locker room atmosphere seemed to have been damaged as well due to the frustrations and difficulties faced by the team. Will a strong veteran presence with a proven leadership track record fix these issues?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are quietly looking for a new quarterback to potentially take the lead from Ben Roethlisberger who might announce his retirement even before the next NFL season starts. With a shortage of quarterbacks across the league, many fans believe that a Colin Kaepernick contract could be the best option for the Antonio Brown team. Will the controversial San Francisco 49ers star be a good fit alongside Le'Veon Bell and Ladarius Green?

The Chicago Bulls came in this NBA season with the promise to redeem themselves following their embarrassing performance of not making it to the playoffs the previous year. However, even the exit of Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Doug McDermitt from the team seemed to have little effect. The leadership roles granted to the Big 3, Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo, appeared to still be taken for granted with none of the promised changes coming true thus far. Will the free agency season bring them better players then?

The San Antonio Spurs are gaining momentum as they slowly ease out the Golden State Warriors off the top spot in the Western Conference in the hopes of meeting the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals. With Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Danny Green on fire in the hardwood court, the Gregg Popovich team has become a dangerous threat to Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Will a Rudy Gay trade boost their chances of becoming the top team in the years to come?

The Golden State Warriors are looking at options to ensure that despite the problems caused by the Kevin Durant injury drama, they would still come out on top in the Western Conference. With the San Antonio Spurs of Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Danny Green gaining on them, the Stephen Curry team must hurry up and look for solutions to their playmaking. With a huge budget coming up this free agency season, a blockbuster DeMarcus Cousins trade is anticipated to be announced soon.

The Los Angeles Lakers are filled to the bream with potential as D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Brandon Ingram lead their squad. However, the young stars could no longer simply rely on their raw talent to succeed in the NBA. While Nick Young, Metta World Peace and Luol Deng provide wisdom to the team, they still lack a leader with a strong winning mentality to keep them in line and focused on their goal. Will Luke Walton consider a Chris Bosh contract just to bring stability and a winner's mindset to their locker room?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are sitting comfortably at the top of the Eastern Conference. While Isaiah Thomas' Boston Celtics, the Washington Wizards of John Wall and DeMar DeRozan's Toronto Raptors are no doubt fierce competitors, the LeBron James crew feel no threat getting in the NBA playoffs as the top seed. However, many believe that the team is actually worried over potential Kevin Love injury problems or worse - LeBron James and Kyrie Irving off the court. Will a Paul George contract to the Tristan Thompson team be a good idea especially during nights without their Big 3?

The New York Knicks once again fell short in making the NBA playoffs this season. Despite the huge Derrick Rose contract signed to help the ailing Carmelo Anthony squad, the entry of the Chicago Bulls star with Joakim Noah still failed to improve their standing in the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated Eastern Conference. Will a Lance Stephenson contract eventually give more direction to the Kristaps Porzingis team?

Evangelist Franklin Graham has called Tim Tebow, who is now playing for the New York Mets, a "class act" and said he appreciates the "bold stand" the Christian athlete takes for his faith in Jesus Christ.
