The NBA MVP Award: Dark horses
If the NBA season were to wrap up today, Giannis Antetokounmpo would be crowned MVP. I don’t think a single hoop head out there would deny that he most certainly deserves it.
Kawhi Leonard

The King versus The Klaw: The Battle for Los Angeles
As we all know, Kawhi Leonard shook the NBA this offseason when he chose to take on ‘The King’ instead of joining him at the Lakers.
Boston Celtics
Raptors, Celtics are closer to each other than many think
The Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics have been fixtures at the top of the Eastern Conference over the last couple of seasons. Boston were supposedly in the ascendancy 12 months ago. Toronto have evolved from the Kyle Lowry-DeMar DeRozan duo to an NBA champion.

Thunder must trade Westbrook, admit they let a golden generation slip through their fingers
Rebuilding is a chore for players, front offices and fans alike. Considering how close the Thunder once got to greatness, it will be especially rough to start over. Oklahoma City must start their rebuild by removing their cornerstone.

Ranking NBA teams by title chance after Leonard, George join Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers
Missing out on Kawhi Leonard could be blessing in disguise for the Lakers
It was confirmed by Adrian Wojnarowski on Saturday morning that the Los Angeles Lakers have missed out on Kawhi Leonard. The NBA Finals MVP is heading to their Staples Center rivals, the Clippers, along with All-NBA wing Paul George.

Clippers risk being left in painful limbo if Kawhi Leonard goes elsewhere
Kevin Durant has joined the Brooklyn Nets. Jimmy Butler is heading to the Miami Heat. Khris Middleton is staying with the Bucks. Al Horford is a Sixer. Tobias Harris is too. Plenty of other big free agents have signed.
Los Angeles Lakers
Four max contract players the Lakers should pursue in free agency
From reports of incompetence within the Lakers organisation - which included Pelinka lying about an encounter between Kobe Bryant and Heath Ledger - to the obvious incompetence shown in the Lakers front office the past year.

Golden State Warriors
Should Kevin Durant take the supermax with the Golden State Warriors?
As they rode off into the sunset the Warriors took stock of their losses, especially on their injury list. Klay Thompson tore his ACL in game 6, and the NBA’s pantomime villain Kevin Durant suffered a torn Achilles in game 5. A harsh sense of schadenfreude surrounded the Durant injury. After all, the prevailing opinion was that he had left the Oklahoma City Thunder to join a 73-9 superteam and ease to multiple titles.
Brooklyn Nets
Three teams Kawhi Leonard should seriously consider joining in free agency
Looking around Oracle Arena after the clinching Game 6 in this year’s NBA Finals, Kawhi Leonard, with a fresh cap on his head and his teammates buzzing around him, took everything in. He held the Larry O’Brien trophy with the delicateness of a new born, and gushed over it adoringly.
NBA
