Lakers/Celtics 30 for 30 looks
crazy to think that three decades from now, they'll be making a 30 for 30 about GSW/CLE. after all the gamesmanship and chess matching is gonna lead to the following roster constructions
steph
klay
kd
dray
anthony davis
vs
kyrie
harden
kawhi
bron
KAT

Probably no one if nothing changes.
But I could see the Spurs or Wizards (disclaimer: I'm a Wizards fan and I realize this is a bit bold of a prediction) taking out the Warriors or Cavs if one or two key moves are made.

He was arguably the Cavs 2nd best player this postseason.

Kevin Love is not trash. His skill-set wasn't fully utilized. This is what happens when offensively skilled big-men come play with LeBron.

Kevin Love would be a perfect fit with HOU or OKC, where he would be the clear cut #2 scorer

Speaking of the draft...
Let's take a look at Ball and Fox against ranked teams:
Ball - 9 games, 14.3 pts, 6.2 asts, 5.6 reb, 1.0 stls, .537 FG, .356 3-pt, 8-for 13 FTs (.615)
Ball overall - 14.6 pts, 7.6 asts, 6.0 reb, 1.8 steals, .551 FG, .412 3-pt, .673 FT
Fox - 10 games, 19.1 pts, 4.1 asts, 2.8 reb, 1.5 stls, .450 FG, .190 3-pt, 51-for-65 FTs (.785)
Fox overall - 16.7 pts, 4.6 asts, 4.0 reb, 1.5 stls, .479 FG, .246 3-pt, .736 FT
Against the ranked teams, it's clear Fox is the better scorer, Fox is more aggressive attacking the rim, Fox gets to the line much more often, Fox is arguably a better defender, Fox takes more risks. The only thing Ball got on Fox is that Ball is the better 3-point shooter and better ball distributor. This does not necessarily mean Ball is the better playmaker however.
One thing is glaring - ALL of Ball's stats DECLINED across the board when playing against better competition. Meanwhile, Fox increased his PPG and FT pctg while steals remained the same when playing against ranked teams in comparison to his overall stats.
Looking at it from this perspective, I'm taking FOX ALL THE WAY. Ball, imo, ain't no prime time player and will be average in the NBA.
But let's take a look at Jackson against ranked teams. His numbers were very steady against ranked teams in comparison to his overall season numbers, virtually identical. However, what stood out was that his 3-point shooting was significantly better against better competition, which could be an indication of elevated play when stakes are higher.
Jackson - 11 games, 16.7 ppg, 2.3 asts, 7.2 reb, 1.7 stls, 1.0 blk, .514 FG, .471 3-pt, 26-for-47 FT's (.553)
Jackson overall - 16.3 ppg, 3.0 asts, 7.4 reb, 1.7 stls, 1.1 blk, .513 FG, .378 3-pt, .566 FT
All in all, BALL is the odd man out.
Jackson or Fox at #2. You can book it.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this draft goes. I know nothing of college ball and it's players. It'd be very interesting to see what Boston does. also if they draft Ball just to be petty that will just have me 
.
I hope to see some big moves for free agency. I'd like to see Paul George move before the start of this season. Realistically who actually has a chance of getting him in terms of cap space and trade possibilities?

30 for 30 Lakers-Celtics on ESPN straight
That '84 series is the best 7-game series in Finals history, along with the Cavs' comeback in '16. 1 and 1A.
