NBA free agency has slowed considerably over the past couple of days. That doesn’t mean the biggest dominoes have fallen.

In reality, Cleveland falls short Not as currently constructed, at the very least. The fit of James Harden, Donovan Mitchell and LeBron is a terrible one, just as LeBron found himself trying to glue together Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. It is miraculous that James remains as impactful as he is at age 41, particularly with the ball in his hands. But that means he is not at his best merely spotting up in the corner. Harden is a ball-dominant star and takes so much off the table defensively. T...

We need him to play 30-plus minutes, and to do that, you cannot be one-dimensional.” The focus has been on helping Murray-Boyles expand his game: take reps as the ballhand...
