New Episode!
@DraftDeeper debuted on The Drop Step this week as we spoke about the very top of the 25/26 draft classes.
Give it a listen down below and let me know how would you rank:
Flagg, Harper, VJ, Knueppel, AJ, Peterson, Boozer, Wilson?
@JustEsBaraheni returned to form a dynamic duo of our own as we discussed which pairs of players we're most looking forward to watching next season. We jumped around the league and were mostly positive but I worry for two defensive starlets in Portland...
Episode link below!
Thanks to @ALLCITY_NBA for making this easy.
Bit of new team/transaction bias in there but sign me up for Minny 24/7.

Bob Iger purchases the lakers. Winning Time extended Cinematic Universe confirmed.
Get ready for a Mitch Kupchak detective drama, Jeremy Lin anime and Kobe and Shaq buddy cop series.
We up.
The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.
Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.

Had to listen to a lot of Embiid trade talk on pods this week so thought I’d suggest something that I haven’t seen put out there.
The 76ers go all in and secure a young durable big that pairs more synergistically with their stars. They trade away picks but you’d argue a long term core of Maxey, VJ and Duren is very stable ground to build on post Bron/Brown.
The Cavs simultaneously increase their championship equity whilst dramatically increasing their chances of everything blowing up in their face but they get draft capital back to do so.
The Pistons move on from Duren with a cost controlled Center that pairs nicely with Cade, adds a familiar face to share back up duties with Okorie this year and bets on being better than Philadelphia at the end of the decade.
Thoughts?

Two teams that may feel a little left behind in their respective conferences revamp whilst taking on risk.
Two wings in Cleveland.
A ceiling raising/timeline ending gamble in Denver.
Be proactive or die in this NBA.
Let me know your thoughts.
