Teams like the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks are seeking to optimize their center positions, with the Mavericks debating between Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford for their starting role. The Philadelphia 76ers have made a significant commitment to Joel Embiid, signing him to a three-year, $193 million extension while adding Paul George to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
