Myles Turner is headed to Milwaukee, and the Indiana Pacers got nothing in return — no sign-and-trade, no pick, no plan. Did a finals team just cheap out, or was it a calculated pivot following Tyrese Haliburton’s injury? Matt Moore and Haize don’t hold back on what it says about ownership, roster building, and missed opportunities.

Then, the Damian Lillard saga continues: the Bucks have stretched him, and Miami still might not make a move. Should the Heat get in early, let Dame rehab, and gamble on his presence alone changing their locker room culture? Haize and Matt clash on whether Dame-to-Miami is a fantasy or a future inevitability.

Out West, the Houston Rockets continue their aggressive offseason, adding Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith to create matchup chaos around Kevin Durant. The panel debates whether Houston or OKC is now best positioned to take over the West — especially after SGA signs the richest contract in NBA history. Is a Thunder dynasty possible in the era of second aprons?

Plus: Are the Mavericks really a contender with D’Angelo Russell at point? Or are they lottery-bound? And what are the Raptors thinking handing Jakob Poeltl $100M?
