Bill Simmons says Kyrie Irving is one of the best one-on-one players he's ever seen, but could his talent translate if he were to have his own team?

It all ties back to letting GM David Griffin walk.

A power struggle in Cleveland and growing tension between LeBron and owner Dan Gilbert means that the Cavs should trade their star player this summer, according to Bill Simmons.

It's something to watch as the Hawks try to salvage something from their two biggest stars leaving.

Lonzo Ball has the potential to be a generational-type player, and Bill Simmons has second thoughts about him potentially winding up on the Lakers instead of the Celtics.

Isaiah Hartenstein's NBA odyssey will start at the draft.

The Pistons will continue to start Andre Drummond and still have Boban Marjanovic behind him.

Griffin with a classy move as he exits the building.

The Rockets want another star, Beverley could be part of that deal (or moved for a little more cap space).

This clears the way for Lonzo Ball and clears out 2018 cap space for the Lakers to chase LeBron, PG13.

Butler reportedly is pushing for the Cavaliers, but do they have the assets?

What a roller coaster.

First, will Clippers re-sign Chris Paul and Blake Griffin?

Jimmy Butler reportedly wants to joins the Cavaliers and Cleveland would be wise to try and make that deal happen.

Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has proved he is hard to work with and the departure of general manager David Griffin is just the latest example, says Bill Livingston.

This will allow Golden State to spend as much as it wants to re-sign Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston

He likely leaves Detroit

Between LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Paul George and the upcoming NBA draft, the NBA is in a state of flux with major changes looming.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr will be given time throughout the summer to explore medical options.

Of course teams are asking for a sweetener to take on those deals.

Billups certainly knows the NBA game, but he has zero front office experience.

Hall of Famer Jerry West is now officially a consultant with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Lowry says not to believe what we read, but does he want to stay?

Cavs' owner Dan Gilbert wouldn't let Orlando or Atlanta talk to David Griffin, then after they hired someone else let him walk.

There is limited motivation for the Lakers to bid big here, George wants to come to L.A. as a free agent.

Joel Embiid. Ben Simmons. Markelle Fultz. Is that a big three?

The ratio of Bulls trade rumors to actual Bulls trades suggests being patient here.

They don't have the assets to interest Indy.

The Sixers are building a Big Three of the future by trading for the No. 1 pick and presumably drafting Markelle Fultz, while the Celtics are setting themselves up to land a superstar.

Does that mean he'll sign with Lakers or Clippers?

The Indiana Pacers' best chance to get maximum value for star Paul George is right before the draft, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

The projected first pick in the 2017 NBA draft, Markelle Fultz, only won nine games in college. Combined with the fact that he didn't make the NCAA tournament, that's cause for alarm.

2017 NBA draft coming into focus

Markelle Fultz might be better than anyone on the Celtics but GM Danny Ainge couldn't pass up on the opportunity to get more first rounders.

The Indiana Pacers' best chance to get maximum value for star Paul George is right before the draft, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Not necessarily in that order

Early in John Wall‘s career as the point guard of the Washington Wizards, there was serious doubt about whether or not he would ever become the kind of player that was deserving of being the No. 1...

The Pacers are taking the best offer, they are just trying to make the best of a bad situation.

A big part of their efficiency comes from their ability to get their role players wide open buckets.

The website tracks NBA player cat ownership and sells merchandise with 100% of the profits going to charity.

It looks like this is a done deal.

Phil Jackson does like tall point guards, and this kid can defend.

Fultz, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons — that could be the Sixers big three.

He was very polished and smooth with the media after his workout.

The sense is Boston is looking to move this pick and other assets to get a star.

It may not be applicable to game situations, but it's cool to watch.

It's expected to be finalized Monday.

What mattered most out of the workout is what we didn't see: The interview, and how coachable he was.

It was far more than just bad deals by then-GM Billy King. It started with ownership and worked its way down.

With the team partying all weekend in Las Vegas, I'm sure Kerr is going to have to buy Curry a few rounds.

Joel Embiid is down with bringing Fultz to the 215.

He was also a member of the 2004 Argentian team that won the gold medal at the Athens Olympics.

This is another step down the road to the deal getting done.

Look for the trade to go down draft night, after the picks have been made.

Nobody ever questioned that Jimmer Fredette could shoot the rock.

The Lakers deal likely includes Julius Randle, but then Boston has to clear that salary to go after Gordon Hayward.

McCants will be wearing the ZO2s — if they are ready.
