Scott Wachter-Imagn Images If you have tried to keep up with the Kevin Durant trade saga, with all its twists and turns on a daily basis, you’re probably mentally drained at this point. While there hasn’t been a whole lot from what would be considered “legit” sources, the rumors have been running rampant to the point that it’s easier to just ignore it all together.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images When your team isn’t a part of the NBA Finals, the wait for the draft can be the most boring stretch of the year (at least outside of August, when free agency and Summer League is mostly over but training camp is still over a month away). However, this year has been somewhat entertaining for Spurs fans so far despite not making the playoffs for the sixth straight season.

Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images Marilyn Dubinski: The fan of team-ball in me wants to say Haliburton, but he probably won’t ever quite reach MVP status, while SGA is proven MVP at this point with likely more to come. It also wouldn’t be accurate to say SGA is not team-oriented since he averaged a career-high 6.4 assists this season.

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images The NBA has an advertising problem, and it’s entirely of its own making. Game 1 of the NBA Finals was a thriller featuring yet another improbable Tyrese Haliburton game winner, but there was one problem: if you were just shown a random clip of the game, you’d never know you were watching the Finals. No trophy decal at center court, no “NBA Finals” logo anywhere ... heck, even the ESPN scorecard didn’t mentions the Finals.

Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Marilyn Dubinski: The Thunder came out of the West because they’re the most well-rounded, versatile team. They finished the season 4th in offensive rating and 1st on defense for the best net rating (so it goes without saying that they can both score and defend). They addressed their weaknesses from last season by adding a perimeter stopper in Alex Caruso and a defensive-minded big man in Isaiah Hartenstein to take some pressure off Chet Holmgren.

So if I have this right, the NBA is obsessed with the promoting the In-Season Tournament, with insane courts that include a giant trophy and alternate uniforms, but they can't even be bothered to put the NBA Finals logo on the court or uniforms? Priorities are not straight here.
Apparently folks have given up on trying (and failing) to prop Anthony Davis over Timmy and have moved on to another target...
There are actual people in this world who believe Tim Duncan is better than Giannis. 👀 https://t.co/8zc8UzQ5R0
Mock Drafters: "There may be questions about Dylan Harper's fit alongside fellow guards De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, but the Spurs will still draft him." Also Mock Drafters: "And for good measure, the Spurs will draft yet another guard at 14th."
