The Orlando Magic Case Summary

According to Blasting News, even if the Warriors are off to a good start, there's a notion that they will make a shakeup of their roster before the February trade deadline and a possible trade deal with Heat might happen soon.

Since 2007, no team that went on to win the NBA championship finished worse than seventh in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) during the regular season.

Their most notable free agent signing was point guard Rajon Rondo, who ended his tumultuous half-season with the Dallas Mavericks on a sour note. The Kings small forward, Rudy Gay, played a key part in recruiting Rondo, being that they’ve been close friends for years; Gay even had Rondo in his wedding a few years prior. Rondo also has ties to fellow Kentucky Wildcat,

It does not come as a surprise to see the Sixers pick up both players’ fourth-year options. They both played an integral role in helping the team win basketball games over the years and ultimately making the NBA playoffs this season.

For the nth time, Kevin Love name is dragged again in an another trade rumor. It's like a nightmare that will haunt Kevin Love every day. Why is Kevin Love always in the trade rumor picture?

Oklahoma City isn’t on this list just because Durant left, but because he gave them the kiss of death on his way out the door. It’s one thing to have a team lose a top three talent in the NBA. It’s a horse of a different color when he unleashes a looming plague on your franchise.

One can think Irving is nuts for wanting to leave James, yet understand his position as well. At 25, he’s already got a ring. And there is no doubt that playing with James is hard. Entire franchises bend like palm fronds in a gale to his every wish and desire. Things are done his way, all the time, every day. He’s not wrong to ask, because until last year, when Irving rose up over Stephen Curry in the last minute of Game 7, no one in wine and gold had done anything championship worthy other than him.

Hopefully, someone will listen to at least one of these ideas. No one listened the last time I had ideas about the Clippers, and the end result was giving DeAndre Jordan a max contract. (Seriously, how do you sign a guy who is a liability in crunch time because of his free throw shooting to a max contract?)

However, Isaiah is suffering from and a non-fixed hip Injury. Therefore, if Boston wanted Kyrie that bad they had to come off more assets in the deal. Also, former Cavs Star Kyrie Irving requested a trade earlier in the year and was said that he basically did not want to play the shadow of former teammate LeBron James and that he wants to go somewhere else where he can be the number one man on the team. Everyone was shocked to hear about the news considering the fact that LeBron James led them to go to 3 straight finals since he has been back in Cleveland. Other stars in the NBA had words about the request saying that it was “crazy” and that anyone would be lucky to be guaranteed a shot in the finals every year. Why would Irving want to leave a situation where he could play with the league's best player LeBron James? On the other hand, stars Isaiah Tomas and Jae Crowder are more than happy to join King James and the Cavaliers at another chance at a ring. This next season will continue to get more exciting to closer it gets. The Pre-season starts in October and everyone can’t wait to get a sneak peek and see the new teams in action for the first

This past summer Kevin Durant made the bold decision as an NBA free agent to take his talents to Oakland, California and play for the Golden State Warriors. Durant had played his prior eight years for the Oklahoma Thunder. During this time playing for the Thunder, Durant has won an NBA Most Valuable Player Award, four NBA scoring titles, the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, and two Olympic gold medals. He has also been selected to six All-NBA teams and seven All-Star teams. Durant helped lead Oklahoma City to the 2012 NBA Finals, losing to the Miami Heat in five games. What is so controversial about his decision to play for Golden State is that this past season when he was playing for the Thunder in the playoffs, the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead against the Warriors. You would think that the Warriors would be the last team he would leave the Thunder for, but no. Kevin obviously saw greater potential in his career to decide on playing for the Golden State Warriors, but what were the factors that led to his opportunity cost in his decision making. Did Kevin Durant make a choice that maximizes his utility, and leads to having more success in the NBA? Or one that will lead to him wanting to move teams again in two years once his contract with Golden State is done.

The San Antonio Spurs, notorious for their identity and under the radar transactions, have strung together an offseason that has quietly revitalized the gaping holes in their roster. San Antonio was successful in snagging 2-time NBA champion Pau Gasol in free agency, more than making up for the impending retirement of future hall of famer Tim Duncan. Gasol, unsuccessful in making the playoffs this past season, tested the free agent market, looking to take his talents to a contender that could best assist him in chasing one more ring in this final window of his career.

NBA article NBA fans still shocked about Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City and how much hate he is getting from all his fans and the community of NBA basketball. LeBrone James still thinks Cleveland cavaliers should trade more players even when they recently had Kyle Korver. LeBrone also thinks he can keep functioning Cleveland without Kevin Love on the team. We the community do not like the way NBA players move teams and leaving their old team into the dust. Many players like Kevin Durant, Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose and Kyle Korver have left their team to join a new one.

As the Lakers, Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers currently yield the best shot at landing Simmons this summer when he is likely to enter the 2016 NBA Draft, it’s almost a certainty that one of these storied franchises will get a future superstar.

A fresh trade rumor is swirling around between the Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics nowadays. And it involves seldom used center Willie Cauley-Stein of the Kings and point guard Terry Rozier and shooting guard/forward James Young of the Celtics.

Many NBA fans assume the Lakers will select UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick. From the gecko, Lonzo Ball’s camp made it clear that they wanted Lonzo to play for the Lakers. The night the Lakers were revealed to have the second pick, Lonzo and his team (his father and brothers) were shown pumping their fists, as if they had just been drafted. Although many have slotted Lonzo in as the number two overall pick there are an abundance of reasons the Lakers should pass on Ball in favor of Jayson Tatum, Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox, or Josh Jackson.
