NBA Roundup:

If all of Steph Curry’s three-point shots were changed to two-pointers, he would still have been the NBA Finals’ leading scorer. Curry won his fourth championship ring and first Finals MVP. He averaged 31.2 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals during the NBA Finals. Curry shot an impressive 43.7 percent from three during the finals against the Boston Celtics.

ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski had an update on the Kyrie Irving-Lakers trade:

“I would believe Rob Pelinka, Sean Marks will be in Vegas in Summer League, and that’s a conversation they could decide to pick up there again.”

“I’m not sure we are going to see that take place.”
