Allow us to start with the truth: Neither Chris Bosh nor LeBron James is going to leave the Miami Heat in free agency. But it’s fun/interesting/perfectly normal/necessary to speculate.

The Toronto Raptors continue their streak of good decisions. Trading Rudy Gay sparked a movement, a playoff berth, a shift in culture. General manager Masai Ujiri and friends have been making awesome decisions—not trading Kyle Lowry, for instance—ever since. According to The Toronto Star‘s Doug Smith, they don’t plan to buck that trend anytime soon, [...]

Hopefully Stephen Curry enjoys surprises. The Los Angeles Clippers outlasted the Golden State Warriors Saturday night, won Game 7 and sent Mark Jackson’s squad home early. It happens.
