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.

No one in the Nets front office can comment on their free agent signings and trades until everything is official on Saturday, but that didn’t stop the Nets young players from gushing about their new teammates.

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.

What do we really, honestly know about Kawhi Leonard?

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. They directly and indirectly complement each other in obvious ways, and after spending most of their careers in winning situations alongside fellow megastars, they have a natural synergy that’s born from being familiar with sacrifice and accepting it.

It’s only right that Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett begin their NBA careers by facing off against each other in Las Vegas Summer League. The first showdown of the former Duke stars will take centerstage when Williamson’s Pelicans and Barrett’s Knicks face off on ESPN during Day 1 in Vegas.

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.

D’Angelo Russell to the Golden State Warriors was by far the most shocking move of the early part of free agency. It left many of us wondering what the Warriors were doing, considering the sign-and-trade transaction also forced them to dump Andre Iguodala on the Grizzlies. How will Russell possibly fit with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson? Are the Warriors really going to spend nearly $100 million per year for the next three years on three guards?
