The Lakers suck so badly after their top 4 players that 6th place feels kind of high.

I haven't seen an analysis of Paul George trade, but how does it not violate the Stepien Rule about trading future draft picks?

OKC was tired of paying luxury tax.  This was a really good trade for them.

Marc Gasol is on the trade block.  Raptors don't win the championship without him, but they don't need him now.  He doesn't really fit in Rockets' system, but I would not be surprised if the Raptors were contacted last night about him.  The Rockets need a 3rd scorer, and they can afford to manage his minutes during the season because they are deep.  The Rockets window is closing, but Gasol only has one year left on his contract so he is not expensive long term.

I would ask for a trade if I was LeBron.   He turns 35 this season and there is no reason for him to become part of a rebuilding project.  The Lakers are challenging the Suns and Knicks for worst run franchise in the NBA.  Why would LeBron end his career on a team like this?

AD may want out too.
