Monday's media day kicked off NBA training camps around the league and offered a first look at several stars in their new homes. The Philadelphia 76ers had perhaps the biggest offseason, adding Jaylen Brown on July 1 and then the league's all-time leading scorer LeBron James before the month was over. But the Sixers aren't the only ones who made big moves.
James' former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, took a big swing in trading for former Jazz center Walker Kessler, and Giannis Antetokounmpo finally found a new home in the Miami Heat. LaMelo Ball is teaming up with Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Ja Morant will look for a fresh start with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Big trades and signings aren't the only noteworthy storylines coming out of the offseason. Will the Detroit Pistons resolve Jalen Duren's contract dispute? How will the San Antonio Spurs rebound after collapsing in the Finals? Our NBA Insiders answer the biggest preseason questions for all 30 teams.

Atlanta Hawks
Will the Hawks build on their strong finish to last season?
To be clear, the Hawks' 51-point loss in their elimination game isn't the strong finish we are referring to. But Atlanta did account for two of the Knicks' three playoff losses, and the Hawks went on a 19-4 run with a plus-13.9 average point differential at the end of the regular season after committing to CJ McCollum in the starting lineup.
Atlanta added to the roster this summer -- drafting Kingston Flemings in the lottery and trading for ring-earning role players Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins -- and is positioned to be aggressive at the trade deadline or next summer, when the Hawks could have about $45 million in salary cap space. -- Tim MacMahon
