SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA’s annual game of musical chairs is underway — also known as free agency — and it’s more entertaining than the actual NBA season itself. This year’s theme: When the inmates run the asylum.
Remember when teams traded players? Now the players are trading teams.
Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis (with an assist from LeBron James) and, to a lesser extent, grumpy Kyrie Irving took charge and decided among themselves where they want to play and with whom they will play. Whatever they did had a domino effect on the landing spots for hundreds of other free agents.
