NBA trade whispers are beginning to grow louder, especially with a number of playoff-hungry teams selecting at the top of the 2025 draft. Could the Philadelphia 76ers use the No. 3 overall pick to get off of Paul George's contract and land a star? Will the San Antonio Spurs look to move the No. 2 pick to get Victor Wembanyama immediate help? LaMelo Ball is projected to go where, according to Lonzo? It's time to buy or sell the latest and spiciest trade rumors.

Anthony Edwards is quickly becoming one of the best postseason scorers we've ever seen. The 23-year-old already ranks No. 10 in playoff history in points per game (27.4), above some legends like Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and many others. Against this Thunder defense, however, we'll see Edwards finally struggle in a postseason series.

If any member of the Cleveland Cavaliers voted Tyrese Haliburton as the NBA's most overrated player, you can be sure that they now regret that decision. Halburton's raw numbers in the series were modest (17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, 0.6 steals), although the Indiana Pacers' leading man made a huge impact on his team's success overall.

Cavs 3-point % numbers against the Pacers: Donovan Mitchell: 24.5% Darius Garland: 16.7% Max Strus: 34.1% De'Andre Hunter: 30.8% Ty Jerome: 25% Dean Wade: 20% Sam Merrill: 33.3% All shot 36%-to-44% in the regular season.

Not having a healthy Darius Garland killed the Cavs. An All-Star this year, Garland finished the series just 3-of-18 from deep (16.7%), had the same number of assists as turnovers (12) and Cavs were outscored by 29 points in his 85 minutes.

Cavs were never truly tested during the regular season or first round. Adversity never hit. Team was mostly healthy, played loose and free. Once they finally got punched, there was no fight back.
