NBA Special Report: Questions about upcoming NBA Season (Part 5)
Moving on with the questions about the upcoming season, we have another question related to Kevin Durant.
Another one of the questions about the upcoming season is whether or not Kevin Durant will be the NBA scoring champion this time?
Kevin Durant is one of the most extravagant players in the NBA who is extremely talented and skilled. This past season, Kevin managed to become the youngest scoring champion in the history of NBA at the age of 22. The dominance
of this player can be seen from the fact that he was the only player who averaged 30 points per game. This truly amazing scorer was able to beat players like LeBron James who managed a scoring average of 29.7 points per game.
However, this season will be another one of the high scoring seasons and will also make him the scoring champion without any tough competition according to reports. This is due to the fact that LeBron James has joined forces with
the No.5 scorer of last season, Dwyane Wade. This would result in a drop in both players scoring averages as the spot light would be shared among the two. Durant would also be helped by the fact that the No.3 top scorer from the last season Carmelo Anthony
will also drop on his scoring average. As to why Carmelo’s average would fall? Analysts say that since he has been joined by another good scorer in the NBA in Al Harrington who will also be scoring and sharing the spot light. This effectively means that some
of the tough competitors will be scoring less, meaning that Kevin Durant will surely be in a strong position to win the title again.
But one player who can give Durant a tough time in the running is Kobe Bryant. At the moment the Lakers do not require him to bag 30 points per game. There are players in the Lakers who potentially are good scorers like Andrew
Bynum and Pau Gasol. The Lakers need Kobe to last throughout the upcoming season and bag good amount of points but not at the cost of some injury that will rule him out for the rest of the season. Experts say that if something clicks inside Kobe Bryant that
tells him to win the scoring title, then this player can surely win the scoring title and Kevin Durant will not have any chance against him.
The next question is that which top players in the NBA could be traded in the season?
The big names in the NBA that are already involved in trade rumours behind closed doors are Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony. Then there is another player who is constantly telling his team to trade him. That player is Rudy Fernandez.
According to analysis these players are among some of the high profile players who will be demanding trade this season.
If we talk about the fact of trades that took place during the course of last season, then we have Tracy McGardy topping the list. Tracy is among some of the most talented players in the NBA today and last season witnessed him
getting into a big war against the Houston Rockets. Tracy had reservations over the number of playing minutes he was given in Houston Rockets. These reservations ultimately resulted in Tracy being traded away from the Rockets and end the war that had been
going for months.
Hedo Turkoglu is another one of the players who started demanding a trade after the first year of his career with the Houston Rockets. This player is also among the list of high profile players who will be urging their teams to
let go off them. Analysts say that this year, once the free agency season starts expect some big names being involved and also appearing in the news for their demands. This might result in a season that could very well see players getting into battles not
with other players but their own teams. However, this will mean that we have a very exciting season up on our hands.
