In this episode interesting offseason moves made by the Atlanta Hawks and the Utah Jazz. The Hawks spent a ton of draft capital to acquire De’Andre Hunter and later drafted Cam Reddish. Despite the fact that their best defensive players and best shooters from last season have moved on some expect them to make the playoffs. Is that at all realistic? The Jazz stepped and acquired Mike Conley in an attempt to get to the top of the Western Conference. Is that enough. How will Conley’s presence effect the role of Donovan Mitchell? All of this and more. @LawtonWillis@willis_glen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two of the bigger winners in July free agency were the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers. In this episode Glen and Dane discuss which team will have the better defense in the 2019-2020 NBA season. Why the Sixers still might need more playmaking and shooting and why the Clippers absolutely still need to add another center to the roster.@willis_glen@DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we review the interesting offseason(s) that the two teams that played in the NBA finals a few months back have had to navigate. The Toronto Raptors are largely running it back without Kawhi Leonard. Can Pascal Siakam pick up enough offensive workload to make them relevant in the Eastern Conference this season? The Warriors lost a host of relevant players including Kevin Durant. Klay Thompson is not likely to contribute much during the regular season. What will D’Angelo Russell look like playing next to Steph Curry. @LawtonWillis@willis_glen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chicago has an exciting group of young players but a lot of observers seem excited about them as a team to move up significantly in the standings this season. Do Dane and Glen see it that way? Also, is there any reason to think the Bulls and Kris Dunn will reach agreement on an extension before October deadline? In Dallas it's all about Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis this season. What do we expect from the duo? All of this and more.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Nets were one of the big winner this offseason using two maximum contract slots to lure Kyrie Irving and an injured Kevin Durant to Brooklyn. They have been a darling of the league the last few seasons punching, at times, above their weight with a combination of a solid culture and ascending players such as Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LaVert. Now that they are talented as, basically, any team in the league will they be able to put it all together in year one and be a real contender? The Pelicans won the Zion lottery (literally), traded a no doubt top 10 player in the league and added veterans such as JJ Redick and Derrick Favors. Will they have a singular objecting on the season (win as many games as possible?) Or will there also be a developmental objective that at times takes a higher priority? All of this and more.@LawtonWillis@willis_glen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Many observers seem to think the Wizards will be the worst team in the NBA this season. Glen is not buying that, why? What even should the objective be for Washington? Few people seem to notice that Isaiah Thomas is likely to be the starting point guard for this team, that should be a bigger story. The Timberwolves have, once again, done a full reset. But this looks like a more credible organization under the new leadership of Gersan Rossas. Potentially for the first time they will be going all in on building around Towns. What could that look like statistically? All over this and more.@LawtonWillis@willis_glen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There seems to be a lot of optimism in Detroit about the Pistons. They added Derrick Rose but not much shooting and offensive firepower otherwise. The got basically full seasons from Blake Griffin and Reggie Jackson last season. How likely is that to be replicated? We like Bruce Brown quite a bit. What are our expctations? In Sacramento the  Kings added Dewayne Dedmon, Trevor Ariza and Corey Joseph to one of the most exciting young-ish teams in the league. Will they be able to improve upon their 39 win total from last season?@LawtonWillis@willis_glen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Indiana Pacers were extremely resourceful this offseason after seeing many of their key players from last season moved on. The pounced om Malcolm Brogdon with a sign and trade and nabbed TJ Warren when the Phoenix Suns were looking to create cap space for some reason. Victor Oladipo is not likely to be back until some time in 2020. Can they contend to host a first-round playoff series this season? The Spurs are the Spurs. More of the same seems likely except that Dejounte Murray should give them a full season. What will the ultra-talented Lonnie Walker give them? Will the dense improve from 20th last season to better than league average if DeMarre Carrol gets a handful of what were Marco Belinelli minutes last season?
