Auburn Hills — Whatever this is, at least it’s not boring.
And whatever those NBA playoffs were — excitement was in the eye of the beholder, obviously, but ratings were sky high again — this is probably the direct result.
The silly season is nothing new for this league, but after an anticlimactic end to an anticlimactic season, we won’t have to wait until the start of free agency in July for some senseless entertainment.
The NBA draft is still a day away and already the league has seen a pair of eye-opening trades this week with Boston and Philadelphia swapping the first and third-overall picks, Atlanta shipping Dwight Howard to Charlotte, and the Los Angeles Lakers unloading Timothy Mozgov’s contract along with young guard D’Angelo Russell in exchange for Brooks Lopez and a first-round pick from Brooklyn.
