Everyone talks about Lakers and such trades. I feel bad for the OKC. They've been the champs for the season.
But after that, it didn't last long and the talks and attention went through the trades that are happening now.
They're champs but the celebration didn't took long and the attention that it lingers to most fans didn't last as well.

Same thing happened with the Boston Celtics before. Bronny James' draft got more attention than their championship. Well, people are more interested in drama, and there’s a lot of unexpected trades happening right now. Just look at what the Rockets did, trading Jalen Green for KD just to go deeper into the playoffs. They also traded Cam Whitmore, and now KD will wear jersey number 7. I don’t know if that’s the reason they traded him. LOL. Then there’s the Bucks, who waived Lillard, and surely, more trades are coming.

That's true, I remember that last year. When the Boston Celtics got their chip, their hype being the champs was quickly gone during the draft.
And that's because all eyes were on Bronny James being drafted by the Lakers and not even the first and second pick. Who were the first and second pick, last year?
They were even forgotten and no longer known by most fans because the highlights of the media is really depending on who's getting more the attention.

Yeah right, those folks was forgotten though I still recall who got th ROY award during that season a back to back award for San Antonio Spurs after Wemby won the 2024 then it was Castle after, just like what you've said it was the media that will put up the news and whatever and whoever they are hyping the attentions will be converted and the fans and all those who are interested with the topic will surely got hook and begin to share their opinions.

They are enjoying the short time glory they get for winning the championship but at the end those big market teams still enjoying the limelight especially that they are the one who usually get lots of airtime or exposure from medias.

I guess they would just name as defending champion next season and nothing will happen since fans would provably feel excited about new added players also other controversial situation happened on on their favorite teams especially on Lakers.
