## Resource

Lakers shake up their roster with big defensive upgrade Walker Kessler, trading picks for him while letting go of most last season’s players—only 42% of minutes are locked in, the lowest in the league. Meanwhile, Pelicans bet on continuity, keeping 93% of last year’s minutes despite their record. Knicks replace Mitchell Robinson with Andre Drummond, a rebounding force and reliable three-point shooter, while boasting nine players who can hit from deep—more than any other team. Nuggets, who led in shooting last year, are in flux with only five of their top ten shooters under contract, leaving 30% of minutes tied to unsigned free agents.
