Between his mix of unbelievable averages and unreal efficiency from all ranges, it can be hard to believe Nikola Jokic didn't win MVP.

How many regular season games does this team win next season as a core? Not only are they an old core, but they have also missed plenty of games over the past few years.

The Knicks fell short of making the Finals last year, but proved to be a force in the East. How can they better utilize their elite top two scorers under Mike Brown?

The stretch 5 has become a normality in today's NBA. With the traditional big becoming rarer, who is the best still standing?

Who were the most valuable mid-level contracts last year?

Believe it or not, it was Ivica Zubac... and by a lot.

Yesterday, we looked at the best value contract for $10M-$25M. Today, we are looking at the next echelon.

Here are the best deals at $25M-$35M.

It seems hard to believe Jayson Tatum was still under this bucket.

In today's NBA, players can hit multiple 3s a game with regularity. Here are the players who went off for 5+ 3s the most times this past season.

Here's the NBA defensive landscape. It's rare for a player to dominate a stat. Both NBA defensive stats have players with a big lead in Victor Wembanyama and Dyson Daniels.

The 76ers had a woeful season last year, riddled by injuries. Health will remain a big question, but could they make waves in a wide-open East?

The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Bradley Beal today.

How will he fit in with the rest of the current core?

The Portland Trailblazers have reunited with Damian Lillard. Here are his numbers from last year, but what can we expect when he returns?

Is he giving up on any championship hopes?

Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday are now teammates after being traded for each other in 2023.

How will they pair?

The Lakers signed Marcus Smart today after the Wizards bought him out.

Can he still produce at this stage? He was a key factor for the Celtics not long ago.

People find the modern NBA boring because of 2 things: free throws and 3-pointers.

Does this graph help you find the teams that are fun to watch?

Here is NBA team performance by number of rest days from last season.

1. The good teams don't lose with full rest.
2. The Knicks played very poorly on the back end of a back-to-back. Could that change with a new coach?

It was SGA's year this year, and he did it with a healthy dose of free throws. The approach proved to be infuriating for some, but undoubtedly effective.

Will more star guards go all out to get to the line? Here is the current free-throw landscape.

If you knew the Cam Johnson was going to be traded for Michael Porter Jr., would you know which side the first-round pick would be on?

Is it surprising MPJ had to be paired with a pick?

Damian Lillard was waived today in a shocking move by the Bucks. Who could his perimeter shooting benefit once he gets healthy?
