Nuggets, Lakers discuss trades as Cason Wallace and Anthony Black await extensions

With the NBA season opening on October 19, Cason Wallace of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Anthony Black of the Orlando Magic are significant extension candidates. The Magic face payroll challenges and may not extend Black, while the Thunder might absorb salary implications if they sign Wallace. Meanwhile, Denver Nuggets' Cam Johnson shows improvement in his play, which could affect his trade status. The Lakers may be considering trades involving their second-round picks for Wizards players Bilal Coulibaly or Justin Champagnie.
