Don’t get it twisted: the Los Angeles Lakers had a pretty amazing summer. They landed Anthony Davis, a top five NBA player! You can’t land Anthony Davis and have a bad summer. It’s not possible. Now that Kevin Durant has left the Warriors, the Lakers are the only team in the league that can boast two of the top seven players in the world on their roster.
The Toronto Raptors lost Kawhi Leonard to the Los Angeles Clippers, and while that stinks on some level, it’s also OK. The Raptors got everything they wanted out of their year-long stint with 2019’s best player, and they’re set to rebuild for the future.
Throughout the season and well into the playoffs, the question that everyone had was simple. What does Kawhi Leonard want? The question may have been simple, but coming up with the answer was deceptively tricky.
With Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Clippers have added two of the NBA’s seven best players, a pair of perennial MVP candidates who are smack dab in the middle of their primes with more room to improve.

Each of the last three summers, the Celtics have turned to an underutilized talent pool abroad for rotational fortification. Two years ago, the team plucked Daniel Theis from Brose Bamberg in Germany. He’s played two seasons in Boston and just locked in two more. Last summer, it was Brad Wanamaker from Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce. After a successful rookie season in green, Wanamaker is returning on a second deal for 2019-20.
