    Good to Great: How the Best Teams in the NBA Can Get Better

    Franchise Sports The best teams in the NBA have begun to separate themselves from the pack. And with the fall of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, there’s plenty of space at the top of the basketball mountain. From Long Beach to Cream City, from H-Town to Bean Town, there are some seriously good clubs in the Association this season. But what can they do to get even better?

    Photo by Reuters / Pixsell Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac who stands at 7’1” was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers. He spent three seasons there, playing in 114 games where he averaged 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks. He only started 23 games, but did establish himself as a steady rotation guy. The Lakers clearly didn’t see him as a future piece for their franchise and traded him to their crosstown rivals, LA Clippers. The Clippers f

    Which NBA Bench Units Are Stepping Up This Season?

    Reddit “We got to get off this load management crap. Latrell Sprewell averaged 42 minutes for a season.” That’s New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale, defending his choice to play rookie RJ Barrett deep into a blow-out loss. Barrett is among the league leaders in minutes, averaging around 37 per contest. The merits of load management are worth discussing, but at the end of the day, an NBA team’s starting unit can only do so much. Even with Barrett playing 37 mins per game,

    Marcio Jose Sanchez / AP via Bleacher Report Even before the first tip off, Landry Shamet has once again shown the world why he is legit. The post ‘Lob City’ identity that the LA Clippers have worked really hard at establishing oozes out of their 22 year old shooting guard. Shamet had a tremendous Second-Team All-Rookie season, scoring 9.1 points per game and shooting 42.2% beyond the arc. Do you know how impressive that is?

However, that's where I come in as the bearer of bad news to point out how these ”perfect” unions might end badly.

    Kawhi Leonard Chooses the LA Clippers

    Washington Post What’s the deal? Kawhi Leonard is heading to the Clippers on a 4-year, $140,790,600 deal. The contract is fully guaranteed with Leonard’s base salary starting at $32.7 million. Leonard would’ve been eligible for the 10-year experience Supermax next season, but elected to take the 4-year deal from the Clippers, opting for security over earnings. I’m sure seeing what KD went through after his torn Achilles affected Kawhi’s decision, and prompted him to get his
