The Los Angeles Lakers have come across some positive developments in the early days of the NBA’s preseason. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis (rightfully) resting early, among other veterans, Los Angeles has been able to take a closer look at the rest of the roster.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the league’s back-to-back MVP winner, and the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a five-year, $228 million supermax extension with a player option after the fourth year.
The Los Angeles Clippers were eliminated way before anyone thought they should’ve been last season and if they want to get farther into the playoffs this year then a certain player has to step up.
A team that is stuck in mediocrity is one of the saddest appeals in sports. Teams that can not seem to make up their minds on whether they want to tank or contend. These teams usually find themselves just missing the playoffs or getting knocked out immediately. Therefore, they’re usually selecting mid-first round in the NBA Draft each year.
The news that James Harden had decided he wanted to leave the Houston Rockets sent shockwaves around the NBA and grabbed the attention of some of the league’s top teams.
James Harden has made it clear he wants out of Houston, but will he get his wish? This Miami Heat trade package could get a deal done.
The crazy, compact, and wild offseason is officially over, as the NBA began the preseason on Friday night. It was a five-game slate that gave fans plenty of enjoyment in who they got to see in action. Here were my five biggest takeaways from the opening night of the NBA’s preseason.
As the 2020-21 NBA season approaches, NBA rosters are filling out as teams look to start the new season out on the right foot. The Pacific Division is home to the defending champions, as well as multiple teams that will look to take a step forward during the upcoming NBA season.
Star forward Paul George signed a contract extension with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.
The extension is for four years and $190 million on top of the $35.4 million that was guaranteed for the 2020-21 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The third tier of the NBA are teams that have playoff ambitions. These teams are not gonna have an easy road to the playoffs nor will they be considered contenders in the NBA. However, the chances of these teams filling out the rest of the playoff bracket are high.
James Harden wants out of Houston and it appears he’s doing all he can to make that clear. On Tuesday, ESPN reported Harden told the Houston Rockets before training camp “that he would be open to a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers or possibly other contenders.” The 76ers were listed as one of Harden’s preferred destinations, which reportedly included the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat.
The NBA is filled with uncertainties. Every team has the capability to ruin everyone’s predictions. Just as the Oklahoma City Thunder had done last season. Nothing is guaranteed in the NBA. However, there are always a few teams that will be guaranteed a playoff spot because of their roster.
