We break down a packed week of NBA storylines, starting with the reports of LaMelo Ball wanting out of Charlotte and what his departure would mean for the Hornets’ future.

From there, we highlight several sneaky-good seasons from players flying under the radar and discuss the concerning rise in superstar injuries — including whether the league’s faster pace is partially to blame. We also dive into LeBron James’ evolving fit with this year’s Lakers roster and evaluate how early-season trades are panning out across the league.

To wrap things up, we give the Toronto Raptors their flowers, talk about their impressive start, and touch on a few key stars making their return to the court.
