LeBron James – Who Can Deny Him Another MVP Award?
At some point, LeBron James and his dominant hold on the NBA regular season MVP award is going to end. The natural usurper to the crown?

NBA Rumors – Golden State Warriors Trying to Get Dwight Howard via Sign & Trade
It’s going to be very difficult for the Golden State Warriors to get Dwight Howard, either through free agency or through a sign & trade deal with the Los Angeles Lakers (becoming more and more likely), but if they manage to somehow get rid of the expiring contracts of Andrew Bogut, Andris Biedrins and Richard Jefferson, they will have enough cap space to add Howard without a need for a trade.

San Antonio Spurs – Kawhi Leonard & Tiago Splitter Shine Instead of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili & Tim Duncan
While the San Antonio Spurs have figured out how to stop Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, getting their big three going all at one has been a bit more difficult in the playoffs.

It seems that as we approach game 6 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, the Spurs are coming in confident they have the Warriors figured out. Yes, Harrison Barnes has been surprising after an OK rookie season, but comes down to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson making three point shots.
