The NBA is either on vacation or preparing to go on vacation and I decided. You know there are a few teams I haven't talked to all that much about since the off season frenzy concluded or stalled. Dylan Brooks now makes $20 million a year somehow that happened. And now the Celtics have to move forward and see if they can advance further than they have advanced with this group before and again. The only important thing on this whole podcast is best wishes to Bronnie James and his family that is a very, very scary thing.
Zach Lowe begins the podcast discussing the latest on Bronny James following his Cardiac Arrest, and Jaylen Brown's new supermax contract extension, then he bounces around the Western Conference: ESPN's Tim MacMahon joins to talk Rockets (7:16), Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic discusses what's next with the Thunder (37:01) , and finally Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic details what a quiet offseason so far means for the strange Minnesota Timberwolves.
