Hello, friends. NBA free agency got started at midnight on Saturday, so we decided what better time to record a podcast at 2 a.m. than now. This week’s guest is the soothing sounds of CVS Bangers, Vol. 2, from the great DJ Hennessy Youngman, playing gently in the background on Martin’s porch as we discussed everything that went down on the first night of free agency, from Paul George getting traded to the Thunder to the Blake Griffin signing to the Celtics doing nothing.
This was the rare “live” pod, with both of us in the same place — Martin’s porch — to enjoy the craziness of the first night of free agency. Here’s what we discussed on this week’s episode:
- How strange it was that Friday evening was crazier than the normal midnight free agency surge
- Why Blake staying in L.A. makes more sense the longer you think about the CP3-Griffin dynamic
- Blake Griffin: Future movie star
- Rondo possibly to the Lakers? Good, bad, or just weird?
- Steph Curry getting his money
- How weird it is watching Woj on ESPN
- ESPN’s handling of Woj’s first night
- Why would you pay Kyle Lowry?
- The Nets blowing up RFA again
- The Celtics!
- J.J. Redick in Philly making tons of sense
And much, much more!
