Although that's probably what any coherent person would say

Why, because Jalen Green is so good?

LeBron James is the MVP of the league. His team is winless without him

Eh, Tatum might be the goat there, but for this season I can see it.

Nice work - That trade is actually legal according to the Spotrac trade checker. I was going to suggest swapping Lebron for Kawhi (considering all of the Aspiration stuff, both guys likely wanting to stay in LA and Kawhi's apparent preference to not play with Lebron). Lebron for Kawhi would require the Clippers sending a minimum player to a 3rd team to be legal (not a big deal though). I can't imagine why the Clippers would trade for Lebron - but as a Laker's fan I'd be down for either deal.

why would the lakers trade for kawhi? getting off one bad contract just to get right back on another?

Spurs finish as a top 3 seed in the west.

Wemby mvp and DPOY

Barring injuries, the New York Knicks should be in the Finals. I just don't believe in Cleveland at all and they're going to have to prove it to me by actually beating someone with a pulse. It's a shame Haliburton got hurt, because those would have been the best two teams.

At what point do the Hawks say enough is enough with Trae Young. For a “shooter”, he is woefully inefficient but yet still chucks. He’s got too much AI in him but the bad parts of his game

Mavericks should have drafted Edgecombe over Flagg. Flagg is a bum.
Clippers are the worst team in the NBA.
Can't wait for the Spurs vs. Raptors NBA Finals.

If healthy is going to be strong word around the NBA.

But both Wemby and JA have the potential to turns things up side down if they stay healthy or not get suspended.

This is actually not an overreaction. If any, it's the Hawks' brass underraction and that they should already have done something about this fake star. LOL

Jokic's reign of dominance ends if he doesn't stop drinking his summers away.

How about this one for an overreaction:

Indy is still a problem.

SGA will be the first NBA player ever to finish the season with more free throw attempts than field goal attempts.

He's becoming as unwatchable as Harden.

Walker Kessler, a throw-in at the time of the trade, will be better than Rudy Gobert ever was.
