Kevin Durant notched a career-high today: 52 points, for a road win at DAL. So far an NBA season-high too. What's equally staggering is the 21-for-21 FTs! Hands down, he's the best offensive talent in the NBA today. Really wouldn't mind seeing him back in the Finals and getting a ring.

Lots of trade rumors today too: Utah possibly breaking up their frontcourt of Jefferson and Milsap (somehow I sense Boston is going to make a run at Jefferson).. Rudy Gay.. Josh Smith.. JJ Hickson..
And this tense exchange in the press between D'Antoni and Gasol about whether or not he should come off the bench is really beginning to sound like a prelude to Gasol's exit from LA...
