The NBA is currently enriched with premier young talent, but here are five players who are poised to take the next step forward in their careers: Brandon Ingram, Los Angeles Lakers The fact that the Lakers did not want to include Ingram in a potential Leonard trade speaks volumes about what their front office thinks of the 20-year-old forward.

The current Spur and former Raptors’ forward is currently on the outside looking in, and has his choice words for how the Raptors handled DeMar DeRozan this offseason. In an interview with the Hartford Courant, Gay takes a shot at Toronto, and praises San Antonio at the same time. “The best part about San Antonio, they do right by you,” said Gay. “They do right by their players, do right by their staff. That doesn’t happen much in the NBA, to be honest with you. It doesn’t happen much. “On one side, there was [Leonard] that was trying to get out, get to a bigger market, and they wer ..read more

A lot of times during the NBA offseason, blockbuster trades can require more than two partners to get done for various reasons. Like the Dwight Howard trade in 2012 for instance, which took four teams to complete which ended up being a disaster for Los Angeles. Now, the Lakers could be looking for a third partner to acquire Kawhi Leonard, and that might be the Orlando Magic. https://twitter.com/jasonrmcintyre/status/1012335301593722880 Orlando currently has no point guard with a roster that is constructed to be big man oriented on offense with Isaac and Mo Bamba now coming into the fold. The s ..read more

Teams like the Lakers and Clippers badly want Kawhi, while Boston has remained very careful attempting to trade for Kawhi. The race has certainly began in the Lakers front office for the pursuit of Kawhi Leonard and it’s been reported the Lakers will have to give up a massive package for Leonard. The Lakers are motivated to make a deal for Leonard on several fronts, including the potential boost it would give them in l ..read more

Due to the recent news of Kawhi Leonard demanding a trade, most reports have indicated the Lakers are the team he wants to be traded to. In the past year, there have been rumors swirling that LeBron could go to the Lakers and leave the Cavaliers. In a perfect storm of free agency drama, the Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James superteam rumors have begun. But, according to Ryen Russillo, Kawhi Leonard being traded to LA is not a dealbreaker for James. If Kawhi ends up w/ the Lakers it’s not a done deal LeBron follows. I think LA would have a better chance to get LeBron if Paul George were ..read more

Most would think it’s time for Cleveland to roll over if LeBron leaves and rebuild a sinking ship. But, Cleveland is stuck in a corner, as most of their roster is signed for multiple years. According to Cleveland.com, the Cavaliers will look to remain in contention as they try to pursue Kawhi Leonard. Cleveland is among the teams trying to pry Kawhi Leonard away from the Spurs, but assembling a workable offer won’t be easy, Pluto adds in the same story. Kevin Love, who will make $24.1MM next season with a player option close to $25.6MM for 2019/20, would be useful for ..read more

The race for Kawhi is now on after he requested a trade from the Spurs. One of the rumored teams to be in the hunt for the superstar forward are the Boston Celtics. Boston has a lot of promising young talent and a boatload of NBA Draft assets to put together a trade. But, Danny Ainge and the Celtics will approach a possible deal with caution for Leonard.

The young forward out of Baylor was certainly an interesting prospect due to his tenacity and sheer athleticism, but his numbers at Baylor before the draft were fairly underwhelming. Sochan averaged just 9.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in his final season at Baylor. And he did this off of the bench. That’s right, he didn’t start in college. But despite the less-than-flattering numbers and his role at Baylor, some were still considering Sochan a potential first-round pick. But the Spurs kind of shocked everyone when they took him 9th overall, making him an NBA Lottery pick. How A Coll ..read more
