Shownotes Transcript

This show is all basketball... lots and lots of basketball! The NBA offseason is complete insanity. How can average players be paid so much guaranteed money on these short and long term deals? Hint: The ESPN TV contract has everything to do with it. These bloated salaries are happening because ESPN overpaid for the rights to broadcast the NBA and this postseason didn't help! But teams have big decisions to make too... What will the Wizards do about RFA Otto Porter? Does Gordon Hayward nudge the Celtics past the Cavaliers in the East? LP gets down into the math of several free agent moves and Joe gives everyone two teams to watch in each conference this upcoming season that are completely off most fan radars!
