On Sundays, we link to some of the very best work from around the basketball blogosphere. Do you have a link to a great basketball blog post – either your own or someone else’s – that you want to see featured on Hoops Rumors? Send it to us at HoopsLinks@gmail.com. Here’s this week’s rundown:
- Same Page Team takes a look at LeBron James‘ and Kawhi Leonard‘s candidacies for the MVP award.
- South Of The 6ix believes the Raptors may be better off prioritizing P.J. Tucker over Serge Ibaka in free agency this summer.
- Go 2 JVP offers a solution to make the NBA playoffs more competitive and exciting.
- The Jump Ball makes a convincing argument for Draymond Green to win the Defensive Player Of The Year award.
- In addition to that piece, The Jump Ball also released a podcast this week, chatting with ESPN’s John Ireland about tanking, the Lakers-Clippers relationship with the City of Los Angeles, and how the Lakers should proceed with their young core.
- The Step Back examines the Kings’ roster post-DeMarcus Cousins and finds several bright spots.
- RealGM breaks down the game of Markelle Fultz and takes a look at how he would fit on the Lakers, Celtics or Suns.
- The 76er Files believe the Sixers should select De’Aaron Fox in the upcoming draft.
I hope for Foxs sake he doesn’t get drafted by the Sixers. He would look really good with the Kings roster construct. Suns could get him. They love U.K. Guys.
Suns would have to trade Bledsoe and Knight to draft a PG either way tho
