As always the off-season is always one of the biggest parts of any professional sport, and this one should definitely be an entertaining one with players such as LeBron James, Demarcus Cousins, Chris Paul, and Paul George expected to hit Free agency. Almost every team will throw a pitch at superstar LeBron James, but who will he actually consider playing for?


Many players where interested in the LeBron sweep stakes and many took to social media as soon as game 4 ended.



Including Enes Kanter of the New York Knicks even though The Knicks don't look to be in the running,


and Denjounte Murray of the San Antonio Spurs.


The Long shot was JuJu Smith-Schuster who tried recruiting LeBron to the NFL as you can see in the post below.



And others have found themselves trying to recruit Superstar Paul George.

This is a big off-season for these super stars and a few others such as Demarcus Cousins and Chris Paul, who both can choose to either stay or leave. Recent reports have also stated that Khawi Leonard former Deffensive player of the year wants out of San Antonio, and much speculation says he wants to be In Los Angeles which could lead to a new super team if other superstars such as LeBron and Paul George head there as many experts believe they will.


Warriors 2.0

Getting LeBron and PG looks to be the easier part for The Lakers in terms of money and location it's ideal for two superstars, and as for bringing in Kahwi it will take a good trade like losing young players such as Kyle Kuzma or Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram those players should have a lasting impact down the road as they have all shown progression so far. Many people believe if this team is assembled this would be the team to take Down the back to back Champions (The Goldenstate Warriors).

There's also speculation that Paul George could choose to stay in OKC but since 2016 he has said he wants to play where he is from in Los Angeles and there will also be a big effort to keep LeBron in Ohio where he is from, but he already owns a home in L.A. It could be the best for his sons' basketball futures and Lebron's post Basketball career potential in acting or broadcasting like Shaq.

The off-season started off with a bang trading the former dunk champion and once a big star Dwight Howard from the Hornets to the Nets making that his 4th team in 5 years he's 32 and most likely on the downward slope unlike LeBron who doesn't age.



Another big rumor this off-season that has been recurring is that the Warriors would push to trade for a big star like Anothony Davis but that would require giving up a lot such as players like Klay Thompson and Draymomd Green, although Klay Thompson's contract is up next season and has been suspected of wanting to leave so the Warriors could get ahead of that departure with such a move.


Potential new look

This off-season should definitely should be one of the most anticipated in a while especially considering the likelihood of LeBron James, potentially the most well known player in basketball, leaving the Cavaliers, where will he take all of his bandwagon fans, and who can dethrone the Warriors?

Or maybe LeBron Will say "if you can't beat them join them", and this is what we see.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
