Once again the Miami Heat appear to have a good team that doesn’t have what it takes to actually win the championship. Jimmy Butler has made two Finals since joining South Beach but they still have one problem holding them back.

The James Harden trade will finally be the end of Russell Westbrook’s career. Coach Ty Lue tried to make things work on the court but after 5 losses in a row Russ was benched and he’s not even closing games. This is a look at why it won’t work and what happens next for Westbrook.

The 76ers have become the number 1 team in the East without James Harden. Tyrese Maxey has taken a huge step forward but there’s more to be done. Philly has one more move to make and it could put them into true championship contention.

The LA Clippers have had a rough start after trading for James Harden. Many people thought they would be good in the regular season at least so this is a gigantic red flag. Their main issue is having both Harden and Russell Westbrook on the court at the same time but benching one of them will be a dramatic mess.

Another big trade went down with Jrue Holiday landing in Boston! He is the perfect player to counter Milwaukee’s big deal getting Damian Lillard. This is a look at the trade and what it means for this coming season.

Jrue Holiday could be traded again any day but where will he go? The 5-time All-Defense player would fit on almost every team so there is a lot of interest but there are only three teams that can realistically get him.
