The NBA is officially ridiculous

All hail pro basketball, the whole year news usurper. The last stunner NBA off season is fall on what will be needed for a quiet Thursday Sports Night at the break Baseball All-Star (just a game between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, was scheduled. Who won? Who cares right? Adrian Wojnarowski ESPN) broke the news that 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder, was traded to the Rockets in Houston, where he was paired with 2018 NBA MVP James Harden super team to form the new NBA, Texas. This summer free agency has created four new tandem of NBA power, at least on paper: Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, each recently joined forces by the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics on the Brooklyn Nets. (Although Brooklyn is slight need to practice patience. Durant, who injured his hamstring in the NBA Finals, probably will not play next season) Anthony Davis, the game-changing big man from pelicans New Orleans, eventually He forced his way to the Los Angles Lakers on trade: He and LeBron James will try the Lakers again, which has become a case study in mismanagement at championship glory. NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard ditched Toronto for Southern California. He signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, who also acquired Paul George, to give an MVP-finalists last season in a trade partner Leonard running. And now the Rockets, with Westbrook and Harden. Not too long ago, teams like the Boston Celtics (Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce), the Miami Heat (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh) and Golden State Warriors (Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson) formed to acquire “Big Threes” on trade and free agency signing NBA title. Now the power is in pairs. Consider the NBA was the first of only seven days. Way back we looked forward fans Leonards decision on his future; Reports have shown that he is either an agreement could be signed in Toronto to stay or James Davis and going with the Lakers. No one expected what came next: Saturday morning in the eastern US, fans woke up to the news that Leonard has not only signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, but George, who had left for another two years with Oklahoma City Thunder on his contract, but an agreement with the Clippers took would come with him. The Thunder has received a number of the draft picks in the trade, and it quickly became clear that another domino would fall Oklahoma City would try to persuade Westbrook, the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double – double figures supported in points , rebounds, and – in a season, a feat runs for three years in removable. The thunder was ready to begin again. Places like Miami seemed a destination for Westbrook. But the Rockets, already a championship contender simply because of the presence of Harden, the NBA scoring leader the last two seasons, rushed in from out of Chris Paul contractual commitment, which has three years and $124 million more on them in OKC. The Thunder acquired nor future first-round draft picks in agreement with Houston. The Rockets are even more dangerous with Westbrook, who played 2009-2012 with when they were young Harden with the Thunder players both ascending. Some manufacturers of tires griped that the NBA is suffering from an attack of coastal elitism. Players have developed offers, join in the Bay Area and Southern California and New York and Miami. do not really consider this complaint, with all the stars now in Texas (Houston even if it seems to be the fourth largest US city ;. player is to promote a large market, both on the Atlantic coast or the Pacific, or southeast Texas). Small-market NBA team do not feel the only units, the seismic shifts Basketball effects. recognized this Baseball All-Star Game of the week in Cleveland, even the best players in the world of baseball throughout the movement dizzying NBA players their sport has been overshadowed. “Everything that is happening now, it is a title,” said MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark of The Wall Street Journal. “I’d like our guys to be in the same place.” For many sports enthusiasts Wojnarowski was more important than all the players all-star field of Cleveland. Because no one was going to tell you where Russell Westbrook exchanged. This movement race is a product of unprecedented Empowerment players in the NBA. Players like George and Davis, under contract, forcing their way to Los Angeles as a less than ideal conditions, exploited their power. In the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas this week, Commissioner Adam Silver called the habit of strength superstar trades “discouraging.” But these power games will not fade anytime soon. And the NBA ultimately benefits from all the talk – and anticipation. The first game Lakers-Clippers, for example, will be a circus. What if any, will keep this tandem, the championship trophy? We just have to wait for one small thing: to play teams of the current games. This only happens in October, a long time can provide another stunner for Wojranowski. And stealing the oxygen from other sports, once again.
