1. Los Angeles Lakers
Wesley Matthews spent last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it is likely that he wants to return.
He has been linked to this team, but there has been no deal done just yet. It is not a guarantee, but Los Angeles remains one of the better landing spots for the veteran.
Any player nearing the end of their career should be looking to sign with a contender. That is what Matthews could be looking for, and the Lakers have shown an interest in gaining veteran players.
Matthews did not make much of an impact last season, but he is still a depth piece on a team that was hit hard with the injuries. The Lakers are looking to rebound and stay healthy after a first-round exit in the postseason last year.

After requiring Russell Westbrook in a trade with the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles will be back to be favorites to come out of the West. Matthews will not change or alter this trend much, but he will give them another name to throw into the mix.
With Trevor Ariza and Talen Horton-Tucker both dealing with injuries that will keep them sidelined to begin the regular season, it makes all the more sense to sign Matthews.
