A weird, wild NBA draft lottery left me (and some team execs) with a weird, maybe-not-so-wild thought: Could the three top picks all get traded?

Will the 2025 NBA Draft Be Top-Heavy With Trades?
The Mavericks, Spurs, and Sixers own the top three picks, but maybe not for long. As wild as it sounds, all three teams could be incentivized to deal. “I can see it,” says an NBA exec.

The Cavs have a lot of good players. In theory, it's a good problem to have.
But that doesn’t change the reality of an offseason decision tree that has a lot more dead branches than promising buds in Cleveland.

Simply put we need to import British announcers to college football to say things like "left now to rue his choice" about coaches named Chunk Perkins who called for a 47-yard field goal that missed by sixty feet instead of going for it on 4th and 1.

The Genius of Jokic
To appreciate the Denver Nuggets’ generational star, you have to appreciate what truly separates him: his brain. “He’s probably the smartest player that’s ever played,” says Christian Braun.
