3. Check the Motor – remove the belt connecting to the spinner, if the motor rotates then the issue is not with the motor itself.

4. Check the break – adjust the break of the spinner so that it will rotate properly? If not, then the issue is not with the break.

Kevin Durant and LeBron James ranked 1st and 7th respectively in the latest Preseason MVP Poll

/

NBA – The upcoming 2021–2022 NBA Regular Season has not even started and yet NBA sports analyst and critics are already debating on who’s winning the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) next season?

According to the latest preseason poll, Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets ranked 1st after receiving the most votes of winning the next season MVP, while LeBron James of the LA Lakers is ranked 7th on the list.

Kevin Durant a former MVP himself and 2 – Time NBA Champion is highly favored of winning the next season MVP despite having two NBA superstar teammates in the same team with the likes of former MVP James Harden and NBA Champion Kyrie Irving.

While LeBron James, is highly criticized for being favorite of winning the MVP after having all star teammates during his Cleveland days with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love and now in LA with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.

According to some sports analyst and critics in the past having All- Star teammates with one or two in a same team is a big No by winning MVP like in a LeBron James situation? That’s why LeBron, despite being the best player in the league for a decade has only won 4 MVP’s.

Though, Kevin Durant is arguably one of the best players ever played the game of basketball where he led the Nets in the recent playoffs despite no Kyrie Irving and an injured James Harden against the Milwaukee Bucks.

And during the 2021 Olympics, he led the USA Basketball to another Gold medal and now considered as the best player in the league and that’s how Durant got this latest poll where he lead the list for the next season MVP?

Rounding the remaining candidates for the top MVP next season after Durant in any order Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Buck, Joel Embid of the Philadelphia 76ers, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

What do you think of this list of MVP candidates next season? Who will win the MVP? Let’s wait and see after the season starts.

Rajon Rondo returns to the LA Lakers in a one year minimum contract

/

The 2 – Time NBA Champion and 4 – time NBA All – Star point guard Rajon Rondo is once again an LA Laker after agreeing a one year minimum contract after a successful buyout from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Rondo rejoin’s LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard and Talen Horton – Tucker the remaining Lakers from the year they won the NBA Championships in 2020.

Rando agreed a 1 – year $ 2.6 million deal with the Lakers but still makes a $ 7.5 million this season between the buyout from the Grizz and the new contract from the Lakers.

Meanwhile, Rajon Rondo is not the initial options for the backup point guard positions to Russell Westbrook  starting point guard positions.

According to several reports the 2 – Time NBA All –Star Isaiah Thomas was the first options of the Lakers for the backup point guard not until the Clippers traded Rando and later on waived by the Grizz.

Unfortunately for Isaiah Thomas it looks like Rando will have the deal for the said positions and Thomas must find another team for his services? so good luck to you Isaiah Thomas.

The Lakers had 2 spot remaining to their roster this year.after sealing the deal with Rondo? Another rumor that is linked to the LA Lakers is Center DeAndre Jordan, who is possibly looking for a buyout from the Brooklyn Nets and possibly joins the LA Lakers?
