Thunder forward Kevin Durant has come second in the draft and MVP votings, but nobody in the NBA can touch him nowadays when it comes to pitching products - whether it's shoes, video games or soft drinks. He leads our Commercials Rankings and No. 2 (Kobe Bryant) is not even close. Nike clearly leads the pack in terms of NBA endorsers, but Chinese brands like Li Ning and Peak are emerging powers. It will be an interesting offseason in Los Angeles following the early exit from the playoffs. Check the news and tweets coming from La-La Land.

Multiple league sources said the Nets are close to sending the backup guard to the Rockets in three-team trade that also includes the Lakers. This move could impact the Nets’ pursuit of Carmelo Anthony. The Nets will get a first-round pick from the Rockets and shooting guard Sasha Vujacic from the Lakers, who will receive Joe Smith from New Jersey. More could be involved. Since Smith was signed in the offseason and can’t be traded until Dec. 15, the deal can’t be completed or announced until today. Bergen Record

Joe Smith has been in the NBA a long time, and he’s seen plenty of young players come and go. Derrick Favors, he believes, is one of the better ones he’s been around. “The potential that he has, the sky’s the limit for him,’’ Smith said yesterday about the 19-year-old power forward the Nets chose with the No. 3 pick in the draft last summer. “I’ve never seen, at 18 — besides Dwight Howard — an 18- or 19-year-old with the body that he has. And the work ethic that he’s brought to the table has been one of the best I’ve seen in a while.’’ Newark Star-Ledger
