LeBron James wants that third straight NBA title. So does Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the rest of the Miami Heat. But Steve Kerr doesn’t think they’re going to get it.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will soon be back together again. While touring Europe with Nike, Durant was asked about Westbrook’s return. Per Raúl Barrigón of Hoopshype (h/t ProBasketballTalk), Durant said he expects Westbrook to be back for the start of the season.
