Weekly Review:

It is, unfortunately, another slow week in basketball, but here are the headlines we've got..

It's the summer. Things are slow for us hoopheads.

Free-agent signings have come and gone. The summer leagues are over.

Which means now is the time to imagine what could be...or what could have been.

We will never know what would have happened to the league if a certain player had inked a certain contract, or a GM had said yes to a certain deal. Everything could be different!

So here are some of the biggest 'what if' situations of this millennium, ranked in no particular order, with what almost happened, what would have occurred if it had gone down, and some kind of verdict on whether this is a good thing or not.

Forgive my recent absence from this, AOL don't know what they are paid for, but I'm back so let's get to it.

Not long ago I saw a very interesting article depicting how after Michael left the game, the world was unsure of who the greatest player in the world was. The article then went on to explain how in one year, we would all know it is LeBron James.

A very possible outcome.

But not definite. The brilliance of the NBA is that absolutely anything can happen. I don’t care what anyone says, no one thought the NBA season was going to play out as it did. So don’t count the rest of the NBA out, don’t try and bet on this year’s MVP or eventual Champion. Seriously it’s just not worth it.
