Basketball This Week (Done) Quickly

I talk about LeBron a lot, but also about the Lakers way too much.  Sorry.  I also talk about the free agent standoff between Denver and Watson, and the Mario thing.

I talk about a busy week of NBA news, including LeBron leaving the Lakers, the Raptors overspending on Kawhi, the Lakers overspending on a lot of guys, and the Celtics underspending on Jaylen Brown.

I talk about the packed offseason as well as the draft.

You can click through if you're curious about the second round after the show.  It got pretty bad after 40 though, the draft guide I used was missing several players I would have drafted from then on Also my knowledge is very thin post 40 this year.  I think I made a good decision to focus more on the top of the draft but I won't have those secret gems from the back half like usual:

I talk about game 5 of the NBA Finals and then in the second half do the traditonal end of season carcast which you might be better off not listening to.

I talk about that history we just witnessed.
