On today’s show, only 2 weeks removed from the coronation of Jokic and the Nuggets, the landscape of the NBA has already shifted significantly, and we have a lot to catch up on. We all know by now that the NBA offseason holds a special place in the hearts of hoops fans, how the machinations and movement fascinate a segment of fans who rarely even actually watch the games. It’s probably one reason why NBA/Reddit is the single largest sports community on the site and NBA Twitter goes viral so much, but there is no doubt; the NBA never sleeps. Less than a week after the Finals ended, we got a potentially massive Bradley Beal deal that could alter the balance in the West, but the Suns know they’re taking a gamble; Beal can only be boom or bust in this situation and they’ve become the next in a succession of theoretical teams for us to speculate on until we actually see them play. Next up was one of the most unlikely of unions, as long time Golden State nemesis CP3 became a Warrior, to the vocal chagrin of many Bay Area faithful, but yours truly? I’m all in. Then it was on to Victor’s big day, as the NBA world welcomed the newest chosen one to the Association but found a few minutes to acknowledge Scoot and Brandon and the Thompson Twins as well. And now it’s on to the free agent signing period starting June 30th and Summer League starting July 3rd as the summer season pushes on. So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA, Offseason Edition, and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
