The Utah Jazz parted ways with all-star Donovan Mitchell, sending him to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a blockbuster trade package.

Think of Rudy Gobert if Rudy Gobert could dribble and shoot. That’s Victor Wembanyama.

What was expected to be a quiet free agency this summer soon escalated into a mania of trade demands, unprotected pick swaps and big-time signings.

Looking back just over one year later, it’s astonishing to see the profound effect that the NBA had in getting us all to understand that this is something that we needed to address as a country as soon as we could.

The defending NBA champions could have run it back with the same team and probably felt pretty good about it. Instead, the Lakers decided they could get even better and did just that.

If these narratives from the suddenly halted NBA season can safely play out, how they end will have lasting impacts on several players’ legacies.

The Pac-12 announced Thursday that all tournaments, including the remainder of the men’s basketball competition, be canceled until further notice.

If this team can bring some of its win-streak magic into its easier, post-All-Star schedule, it could be a legitimate playoff upset candidate.

The three-team trade sent Joe Johnson, Iman Shumpert and a second rounder to Sacramento; George Hill and Rodney Hood to the Cleveland Cavaliers; and Jae Crowder and Derrick Rose to the Jazz.
