Evan Mobley: A Rising Star!
Evan Mobley has been a rising star this season as he makes his first All-Star team. Under Kenny Atkinson, Mobley has been able to open up his game and has been able to have his game flourish. Along with being able to guard every position on the defensive end making him one of a threat on both ends of the court.
New Orleans Pelicans Pivot!
The New Orleans Pelicans are now pivoting away from Brandon Ingram. Zion Williamson is having a great month, but it does not seem that he is the focal point of the team anymore. Herb Jones is looking to come back next season healthy. Trey Murphy III is having an amazing season. He is boosting his scoring and improving his shooting skills. And Yves Messi has been one of the bright spots in this year's rookie class. The New Orleans Pelicans could land a lottery pick and look to improve from there.
Pascal Siakam: Under the Radar!
Pascal Siakam has been one of the most under-the-radar players in the league today. He has a career high in shooting. He built himself up to become a third All-Star. He has been perfect as a second option and at times has been able to take over and win important games.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Greatest Thunder Ever?
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the top scorer this season. He is a strong MVP candidate. Alexander is one of the most talented scorers in the league today, using his footwork and strength to create shots. With the Thunder being the best team in the league, it could lead to SGA winning a title. This could make him the greatest Thunder ever. Past players failed to achieve that.
The Strangest Trade?
The Toronto Raptors made a crazy decision for Brandon Ingram. An injury-prone 27-year-old who doesn't have the richest history of health. Due to the lack of free agents coming to Toronto, they made this trade. The wonder is how they manage to make it work in both finances and gameplay.
The Trade of All Trades!
One of the most historical trades in NBA history has happened to start off the trade deadline. Luka Doncic is now a Laker, which is a shock to us all. Everyone thought he would spend his career in Dallas, winning many championships. But that didn't happen. Los Angeles has an exciting future. The Lakers might have a future star who could become one of the greats they are accustomed to.
Golden State Warriors' Big Three!
The Miami Heat traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors. The new big 3 are looking to make a finals run as the three stars have been on the decline. They should have great chemistry on paper. But with such big personalities, a locker room clash is a concern.
Kyle Kuzma Gamble?!
The Milwaukee Bucks traded for veteran Kyle Kuzma. In return, they sent away their champion, Khris Middleton. Kuz is facing doubts this season. He's averaging 15 points per game, but his efficiency is poor. But with his championship experience, it makes sense why they decided to take this gamble.
San Antonio Walks Out As Winners!
The San Antonio Spurs won the trade as they gave away no draft picks or young players. To give their franchise player the confidence to compete and, one day, win a championship. The Kings are still mediocre. Zach LaVine can't make them contenders. The Chicago Bulls walked away with zero draft picks.
Steph Curry's Dominance!
Steph Curry is having another All-Star season at the age of 36. He has dominated this season by scoring crazy behind the arc. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he was able to take over and win the game. Curry still shows brilliance, but the Warriors have not built a great team around him.
