SO ... NOW WHAT?

Even though the daily madness is in the books, the NBA never truly stops. It's a 365-day season, and we're here to keep you up-to-date no matter how busy — or not busy — it is. 

— In case you missed it (we know you didn't miss it), the Houston Rockets sent Chris Paul and draft picks to Oklahoma City for Russell Westbrook, making Westbrook and James Harden teammates once again. Westbrook was beloved in OKC, and he said goodbye in a touching Instagram post

— Zion Williamson played just about nine minutes in summer league before being benched as a precaution after bruising his knee. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said Williamson wasn't in playing shape and should have skipped summer league. Charles Barkley said Williamson doesn't look fat, but that he "can't play" at his current weight. 

— Williamson wasn't the only story line to come out of summer league. Here are the biggest takeaways

— "Space Jam 2" has a new director.

Taco Tuesdays at LeBron's house are now the social media event of the summer.

Ayesha Curry was criticized by people on social media for dancing (yes, seriously), but don't worry ... Steph has her back.

— Just because Enes Kanter is on a new team — the Boston Celtics — doesn’t mean he’s going to quit his trolling ways. He trolled Kyrie Irving during his introductory news conference. Then he played against kids in five-on-five games while wearing his full Celtics uniform

— A handful of NBA 2K20 ratings dropped. Here are the top 20 players.

— Dwight Howard said he hated Kobe Bryant for calling him "soft," but now he's over it.

— Shaquille O'Neal's words are coming back to haunt him, and now he may have to kiss Steve Kerr's feet (with cheese).

— Ben Simmons agreed to a max contract extension to stay in Philadelphia. Should his lack of shooting be cause for concern?

— Anthony Davis, now officially a Los Angeles Laker, doesn't regret his midseason trade request.

— Our Jeff Zillgitt looks at the current state of the NBA — a league in which players go where they want, when they want and how they want, whether they're free agents or not.

— Forget the Big Three era. Dynamic duos are making a comeback.

— Jaxson Hayes may have thrown down the dunk of the year in summer league. 

Check back next week for everything that went down in the Association.
