Is It Over Zion Williamson?
It is year eight for Zion Williamson, and there are a lot of questions about whether it is over for Zion Williamson becoming a star. He has yet to make the playoffs and has only had two 60-plus-game seasons. Now, with Joe Dumars in charge of decisions and Jamahl Mosley being the head coach, the future will be interesting for both the Pelicans and Zion.
Utah Jazz: Surprise out the West?
The Utah Jazz have a ton of promise this season and could potentially make the Play-In Tournament. With veterans like Jaren Jackson Jr. and Lauri Markkanen leading the way, along with young players like Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, and rookie Darryn Peterson, the Jazz have a strong mix of veteran experience and young talent.
New Chapter for Lu Dort!
The Atlanta Hawks made one of the most underrated moves of all free agency by trading for Lu Dort. The former champion could be a huge help in the defensive end and has championship experience. The Hawks are a team with less-known talent but not a team you can undermine.
LaMelo Ball Trade Is a Win!
The past few years have been tough for the Timberwolves, as they lacked a point guard, but now they got one in LaMelo Ball. With the addition of Ball, the offense can flow a lot smoother and help Anthony Edwards in the shooting end. Both draftmates can find themselves making a crazy run this upcoming season!
Cleveland Found Their Answer?
The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled to fill in their forward role for the past few seasons. Keon Ellis and DeAndre Hunter were failed experiments in trying to make a deep run for the finals. Now, the Cavs have stolen Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets and look to him to be able to solve the problems they have dealt with the past few years.
The Cavs Won The Trade!
The Cavs made a key move. They traded De'Andre Hunter to get 26-year-old Keon Ellis and veteran guard Dennis Schröder. Both players can make their impact without delay and be a key for a Cavs run. The Chicago Bulls somehow were able to walk away with more than Sacramento was able to.
