Here’s a rundown of what you can expect to hear on today’s podcast.

  • Discussing the Fourth of July, which we can do, because the major moves of free agency are mostly over.
  • Everything happened really fast, which was … kind of weird.
  • The bizarre free agent market this offseason.
  • Figuring out what Clint Capela should do.
  • Houston is running it back, just without Trevor Ariza, and paid Chris Paul a ton of money. All of those things might be bad.
  • The Warriors got DeMarcus Cousins, because of course they did. Here’s why it made sense for New Orleans to let him walk.
  • Hey someone should sign Wayne Ellington, like, right now.
  • The Lakers’ roster construction after signing LeBron is something else.
  • Could LeBron and co. miss the playoffs?
  • IT’S SUMMER LEAGUE TIME, Y’ALL.

All that and much, much more on today’s edition of The Dime Podcast.
