We break down the jaw-dropping 1.4 expected MVPs stat, why his shredded transformation could change everything and whether the Lakers’ roster chaos might hold him back. Plus: RFA contract predictions, why 40-point games don’t always equal big paydays, and the very real possibility that Cam Thomas is better than Tim Duncan (kidding).You know, every so often in the NBA, a player reshapes the narrative so thoroughly you just gotta stop and stare.
