I'll trade the 3rd year's pick at the beginning of next season.

Finals MVP: Kevin Durant


After an unexpectedly great 2012-2013 season, Detroit goes into the offseason with high hopes of only being a couple pieces away from winning a title. Questions are arising about a second collapse of the Miami Heat in 3 years in the finals. The Thunder are hoping to keep the success going next season with such a young team. And there are many questions in both Chicago and New York after being eliminated by the #8 seed Charlotte Bobcats who just barely squeaked into the play offs.
