Without making changes the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder remain the teams to beat next year in the NBA.

But changes in Los Angeles and Brooklyn have sparked some interest.

TELL US: Does Nash elevate Lakers?

The Nets first traded with the Hawks for Joe Johnson before resigning coveted point guard Deron Williams to a five-year deal. The team is also reportedly in talks with the Orlando Magic about a trade for Dwight Howard.

Meanwhile, the Lakers had some fireworks of their own on July 4, making a deal with the Phoenix Suns for future Hall of Fame point guard Steve Nash. Nash will team up with Kobe Bryant in hopes of bringing a championship banner to L.A.
