Zach hops on to quickly discuss what teams and what players we should have our eye on as free agency begins Monday (1:59). Giannis will be tracking what the Bucks will do, and so should we. Who else are the main characters—Bradley Beal? The Celtics guys? LeBron James?? Zach also hits on some of the agreements that have already taken place, a surprising trade today, and much more on the eve of one of the busiest days of the NBA year.

coming up on a special weekend free agency preview edition of the Zack Low Show sometimes got to change your schedule up a little bit nba free agency starts on Monday properly at 600 p.m eastern time I believe already some uh teams have resigned or leaked their intentions or their agents have leaked their intentions to resign their own incumbent free agents we’re going to talk about Nas Reed and Sam Merrill DaVon Mitchell going to talk about the Isaac Aoro Lonzo Ball trade between Cleveland and Chicago and just all the things I’m watching out for in free agency it doesn’t look like a particular free particularly you know starry free agency class not a ton of juicy storylines there’s always stuff there’s always stuff you got to keep your eye on there’s a b whole bunch of guys who if they decided to if their teams decided to instantly become the main characters of NBA free agency it’s always a whirlwind 72 96 hours kicks off on Monday we’re going to talk about almost every team kaminga uh all the Memphis situation what the Hawks could do the Spurs the Mavs the Nuggets the Lakers the every Celtics everybody we’re talking about everybody it’s free agency it’s a Zack Low Show coming up soon welcome to the Zack Low Show on a Saturday afternoon obviously Saturday is not our normal day to publish monday morning Monday midday would be but free agency starts Monday evening didn’t see much point in releasing a free agency podcast preview just a few hours before free agency would begin uh properly i will be back Tuesday morning instead of instead the usual Monday morning to react to whatever madness occurs uh starting Monday some of the madness has already started nas Reed Alonzo Ball Deal Sam Merrill we’ll get to uh all that stuff in between bill will have his normal Sunday pod to set the stage the way he wants to set the stage i just thought let’s go rapid fire what am I looking at what is the league looking at what is the league talking about i’ve been on the phone constantly the last week trying to figure out what might happen what’s going to happen what to watch for i thought I would start with a little fun of who could become the main characters of this free agency cycle but are wildly unlikely to number one obviously got to start with Giannis Authentico um have heard nothing to change the general consensus that he’s just not asking for a trade during this transaction cycle well obviously he’s watching somewhere seeing what do the Bucks do can they bring more talent in they don’t have a ton of resources they they could have the full mid-level exception depending on a whole bunch of variables um is that enough can I really contend even in this sort of just just vaporized Eastern Conference dame still injured probably going to miss the whole year with the Achilles tear uh can they do enough it’s a big summer for the Bucks brook Lopez is free agent lakers I think are among the teams interested in him we’ll see if the Lakers have enough spending power to get him really even to have a shot pat Coneton opted in kevin Porter Jr is a free agent i would bet on the Bucks striking a long-term deal with him not at a huge annual salary or huge amount of years but something and then Bobby Portoris bobby Portoris has a for$ 13.5 million player option that’s an interesting number he could opt in it’s right around the mid-level he could opt out sign a long-term deal with the Bucks he’s still only like 30 31 years old big part of their team obviously a cultural borderline icon there um Giannis is watching giannis is watching and by the way I just take note anytime a team acquires the rights to a Milwaukee Bucks draft pick and the Hawks amid all the awesome stuff they’ve done in the last week Kak did acquire the rights to a Milwaukee Bucks draft pick pick at least partially um in 2026 just something I keep an eye on uh main character potential number two I’m gonna go Bradley Beal here only because you can you can connect these two teams easily bradley Beal two years $10 million left on his contract still has a no trade clause still a disaster in Phoenix everything in Phoenix is well not everything they’ve done some good some good trades in the past week I guess to dig themselves out of a hole whatever hole they were in uh there is no unilateral way there is no realistic unilateral way the Suns can get Bradley Beal off of their roster even waving and stretching him and Fred Katz at the Athletic nailed this today they can’t do that because of an arcane cap rule that caps the number uh the amount of salary that you can have wave and waved and stretched at any given time and his contract is so big that they literally can’t do it unless he gives back money and I’m not sure why he would give back money they can’t trade him without his permission obviously a favorite sort of fake trade floating around the NBA ether is Beal for Dame straight up who says no the Bucks turn a player who’s probably not going to play this year into a player who is going to play this year the Suns turn Beal into Damen Lillard financially it’s a wash they have almost the exact same contract i’m not really sure what’s in that for the Suns other than maybe you give me a couple seconds i don’t know if that’s enough or maybe I just say “Well Dame’s going to be better than Bradley Beal when he comes back in a year.” just I I don’t really see that happening the Heat some people have to to me around the league have suggested the Heat could turn like the Duncan Robinson plus Roier plus whatever into Beal the Heat have had chances to get Beal before and haven’t done it is the price that low going to entice them i I don’t know i I just don’t know uh what’s going to happen here um the Suns in theory could could just wave him without stretching him but that just doesn’t do anything for them they just have to pay him his full salary over the regular schedule so I I’d be interested to see if anything could actually happen here main character potential number three but probably won’t happen hey LeBron James has a player option that’s all I’m saying he’s I’ve said since he got to the Lakers he’s probably going to finish his career with the Lakers i think he wants to finish his career for the Lakers you may have heard his son plays for the Lakers who have new ownership now um but as long as the option is out there you just can’t you you until the until either he opts in or signs a long-term two-year contract one plus one whatever whatever he wants to do you just have to monitor it and the Lakers by the way couple pieces of business for them luca extension we all know that’s gotten a lot of attention he he sort of affirmatively stamped the the new owners is like “Okay this looks cool.” Um Rui Hachimura sneakily extension eligible and there are numbers that make sense for him we’ll see if anything happens there dorian Finny Smith is the guy that I would watch for he has a $15 million player option for next year i said on a previous podcast boy would I love to be Dorian Finny Smith’s agent because I get to do some real agenting it’s like you traded real stuff for me i’m a 3 and D wing luca likes me luca’s played with me in Dallas you need me on this team i think that we’re coming up against his player option deadline I think in a couple of days what I meant by that was it would be fun to sort of use the leverage that I thought I would have over the Lakers as his agent to get a nice long-term deal at a decent rate for to lock me in for the rest of my career the rest of my prime whatever if I’m Dorian Finny Smith I’m very interested to see what comes of this situation does he opt in and they can’t reach a deal is that actually what the Lakers maybe want like maybe we don’t want to pay $80 million over the next five years or whatever for Dorian Finny Smith maybe we want him to opt in and then we can um sort of make a decision in a year one way or another um does he dare to opt out and test a market that just isn’t there with Cap Room other than Brooklyn basically and maybe one other team but we’ll get to them and I don’t think they’ll actually have cap room just something Just something I’m watching for just something I’m watching for uh other main character potential the Boston Celtics stars Jaylen Brown and Derek White um obviously a lot of buzz you know Shams said the phones were ringing off the hook in Boston about both of those guys i’m sure the phones were ringing i got a little push back like I said that they were like just ringing off the hook going crazy i need four phone lines there’s a red phone a black phone two cell phones to the ears but look I mean Boston knows the value of these guys they’ve done enough due diligence since the Tatum injury to understand who if anybody would meet whatever price point would be necessary for them to move two guys that they love two guys that I think they’d like to have on the team still when Jason Tatum returns from injury whenever that is let’s realistically say the 262 27 season i think the market for Derek White on his deal would be essentially the entire league i think the market for Jaylen Brown on his gargantuan deal would be just a handful of teams but one of them might pay a bigger price for Jaylen Brown than any of the teams would necessarily pay for Derek White although I think they both have enormous value i get the sense that there was real smoke there was something there was something going on that something maybe has subsided i said um last week that I would bet on if you force me to bet I would bet on both of them being on the Celtics next year but I’m just I’m not slamming the door shut i’m not slamming the door shut on some team the Kings come to mind being like “We’ll offer you everything all the swaps all the picks whatever you want for Jaylen Brown.” And at least making the Celtics think about it i don’t think that’s going to happen i think they’ll both be on the team next year but they instantly could become the main characters of free agency last one lowry Markin does he really fit what the Jazz are doing does he want to Does he want to live through another year of this do the Jazz care if he fits what they’re doing and if he wants to live through another year of this he’s got a bunch of years left on a contract that is pretty big and after missing a lot of last season i think he probably needs to play his trade value back up to where Utah would needed to be to move off of him because they love Lori Markin uh Larry Markin they they they got him in the Mitchell trade he’s become the gem of that trade and shooting bigs just make life so much easier for young ball dominant guards young ball dominant Ace Bailey is whatever Ace Bailey is gonna be and I think Ace Bailey is going to report to the Jazz this weekend by the way and snuff all this sort of drama uh out and so I I don’t think that’s a transaction for now but I I I don’t know if Larry Martin is going to be on the Jazz in a year we’ll see okay let’s get to the stuff those are the main characters that are probably not going to be the main characters nas Reed early main character in free agency according to Shamster Sterenia of ESPN signed a five-year or intends to sign a 5-year $125 million deal to go back to the Wolves and that’s a good deal for both sides nas Reed is awesome he’s People love him in Minnesota they name their cats after him they have towels that just say Nas Reed people just shout Nas Reed at random strangers in the street he’s an awesome player i thought he was actually a little underrated in the six man of the year race uh last year can start in a pinch can play next to any of the bigs that are there or could be there in the future in Minnesota awesome player good contract good deal good amount fair value both sides would seem to if you do the math and just add up a 20 plus million dollar starting salary for Nasreed plus whatever Julius Randle gets whether it’s his player option which is 31 million or a long-term deal starting at that amount there’s just not money left for Nquille Alexander Walker in Minnesota there is plenty of money left for Nquil Alexander Walker around the league i think he’s going to walk into a floor of full mid-level exception offers deals that start at the 14.5 million or whatever the full mid level is he’s going to have a robust robust market for a very good player and that’s why you get Rob Dillingham and and and pieces like that is to just the churn of just we get really expensive we got to replace uh we got to replace guys that’s what happens by the way A-Rod can you just apologize to Bronson A Royal please that’s all I’m going to say on that um we also had a trade today isaac Aoro from Cleveland to Chicago for Lonzo Ball um contractually it’s two guaranteed years for Aoro at at about 11 a piece lonzo has a one plus team option at about 10 a piece um everyone likes seems to like this trade for the Cavs i get it lonzo is a very is a good player when healthy a better player than Aoro certainly a better shooter than Aoro and a better playmaker by a country mile and a still a very good defensive player insurance against Tai Jerome leaving uh which we will get to which appears to be a certainty now after the Cavs use whatever wiggle room they can wiggle around the second a which is none they’re over it to resign Sam Merrill to a 4-year $38 million deal that’s a fine deal it’s good value kind of reminds me of the Pton Pritcharder deal he’ll never be as good as Peyton Pritchard but the number is similar under an even higher cap environment just it’s just fine money for a good rotation player donovan Mitchell loves Sam Merryill loves playing with Sam Merryill done check it off um don’t really know what’s in this um for the Bulls they get a little younger i I Aoro seems to have the same year every year where he makes some progress in the regular season he’s a very good defensive player he’s a great transition player every season he’s like “Oh my god he’s making 40% of his corner threes and getting a little more explosive going to the rim a little more artful attacking closeouts.” And it gets to the playoffs and it’s like can’t play him so I I guess he’s he’s younger seems like also kind of a vote of no confidence in the Dale and Terry Julian Phillips Pat Williams poo poo platter of wings that they’ve drafted there over the years gold Bulls okay uh Ty Jerome now becomes an even more interesting free agent who might get Tai Jerome let’s go through some teams ty Jerome by the way just missed another floater I think um Orlando that was the much rumored Tai Jerome destination all year money got a lot tighter for them in the wake of the uh Desmond Bane trade clippers Clippers just watch the Clippers that’s all I’m saying they’re going to have the full mid-level exception they have a lot of tradeable contracts they have some picks back in the quiver the trade quiver i I think they could use a player like Ty Jerome i like the idea of Tai Jerome on their team particularly in the minutes when James Harden is on the bench oh by the way James Harden has a 30 something million dollar player option 36 I think for next year hm i think we’re probably going to hear some news on that one way or another in the next 48 hours safe money safe money some sort of two-year deal similar annual salary with the Clippers given again the lack of cap space in this market just like everything else until it’s signed i don’t know and I still think Kawawaii no one will ever do it because he’s just injured all the time and he’s this in inscrable mystery i just think it would be so fun if a team like Detroit i’m just making up Detroit detroit’s already said publicly Tjan Langden like we’re not going to be aggressive just like made the Clippers a mega offer and made Steve Balmer who wants to win now keep the init filled wants to fly everybody from the wall to road playoff games that they lose by a million points because James Harden has another bad game seven so does Kawaii so does the whole team by the way um just test his will just be like you’re really going to turn this down this this lifeline to a new future detroit’s got a lot of spending power this summer they’ve got the Beasley Hardway uh Dennis Shruder triumphvirant triumphvirate uh going into free agency they have Jaden Ivy’s extension to deal with jaylen Durren’s extension to deal with they’re a sneaky team to watch wielding that full mid-level exception and available minutes and we’ll see how many of those three guys I mentioned are still on the team next year just sneaky team the Nets I mean they just drafted 17 point guards point forwards and point centers from all over the world so they probably don’t need Tai Jerome to just take the reigns of the offense and do stuff they just need players they’re going to have somewhere between 30 and $60 million in cap space um after even after absorbing the Terrence man deal in their in the the three team trade with Atlanta and Boston that depends on cap hold for Cam Thomas who I’m sure they’d like to keep dron Sharp who they’d probably like to keep zire Williams less convinced they want to keep him uh Brooklyn has telegraphed we’re just going to use our cap space as dumping ground give us picks we’re going to tank again maybe we’ll tank better/ worse whatever definition you want to put on it this year and and ride the lottery balls again baby ride the lottery roller coaster um I think Brooklyn’s cap space is going to go fast we’ll see the Warriors Steve Kerr reportedly loved Ty Jerome loved him during his brief sojourn with the Warriors they have about $17 million of wiggle room below the tax $26 million below the first apron before however you account for Gary Payeyton II Kavon Looney and another one of this summer’s free agency main characters Jonathan Kaminga boy oh boy is this going to be interesting anthony Slater reported today they tendered Kaminga the qualifying offer that was a no duh kind of move for the Warriors and I have to say until a couple cap experts alerted me to it I kind of forgot about baseear compensation base your compensation is just this little little vixen of a cat minutia that pops up very rarely but in this circumstance when you are resigning your own free agent for the purposes of trading him if the Warriors indeed sign a trade Kaminga and you’re over the cap and you give the guy a raise more than x amount of money and his salary is more than x amount which kinga’s salary will blow all those away some really funky cap rules come in the funkiest is he counts uh for outgoing ing salary to the other team the full amount but for your team only half the amount and so you can only if you resign Kaminga to a deal let’s say that starts at $25 million you can’t take a $25 million guy back or you can’t you can it’s just not that it’s very complicated you can take half of that back and so you start making these deals right oh my god do I need a third team do I need a fourth team base your compensation curse you Miami I think that smoke is is fairly real again don’t know mechanically how they do it they just resigned Mitchell to a 2-year $24 million deal that temporarily takes them over the tax like that deal DaVon was awesome for them flamethrower in the playin my god great deal for him great deal for them duncan Robinson has this funky partially guaranteed early termination option i I have no idea what his salary is going to be next year and where it’s going to be it could be in Miami could be elsewhere um so there’s a lot of there’s just a lot of moving parts with the Heat by the way the same agent uh Aaron Turner represents Terry Roier and Jonathan Kaminga could come in handy chicago I’m just all for the Bulls shaking it up with anybody interesting i just don’t know what the deal is with that with with Kaminga like what the outgoing money would be it’s going to be interesting the trade exception they also need Caris Levert back it’s one or the other or you’re in the tax we’ll see sacramento I already said the other day all bets are off all bets are off nothing would surprise me i mean literally no nothing would surprise me about the Kings demar Lavine Sabonis uh Devin Carter you who they just drafted is he even going to be on the team next year is he the sweetener to get off some of these deals they have all their picks and swaps they have to figure out the Jake Laravia situation they won’t as of now they won’t have probably the full mid-level depending on Lravia they might have the baby mid-level i just don’t know where they’re going what’s happening speaking of teams no idea the New Orleans Pelicans what is this team what’s happening i still can’t get over the the draft day trade with Atlanta which I deemed reckless like 17 times i said the word reckless i’ve never used that word uh more often in my life it actually reminds me the deal i I I figured out that it reminds me of is 2015 when the Kings had to salary dump Jason Thompson for for some reason I think Carl Landry might have been involved because they had all these grand free agency plans to sign like Rajan Rondo and a couple other guys that didn’t move the needle for them and they salary dumped him to the Sixers and they included like a pick swap an unprotected pick that became like the gem of the league it ended up being Romeo Langford i think it ended up falling in the middle of the first round that’s probably what Joe Dumar is saying right now actually but like see like you everyone laughed at that trade it ended up being the 14th pick maybe in this muddled you know the Western Conference I talked about last week is a little fat in the middle it’s great at the top but it’s fat in the middle like some teams could slide down there’s maybe room for a miracle Pelicans run if Zion can stay healthy stop laughing but it it I when that trade happened with Philly and Sacramento I just thought we’ll never see a trade like this again this is so crazy and so dumb by the Kings will never see a trade that rivals it again in its recklessness in its processbased recklessness this trade actually reminds me of that what they’re going to do in free agency I have no idea there’s still Trey Murphy the third trade buzz they could get a hall for him i don’t know to what end that would that would be for like Trey Murphy is really good he’s on your team herb Jones is really good he’s on your team kind of the two most stable things you have going on your team plus or minus a Trey Murphy injury we’ll see uh what happens there um the Spurs Chris Paul’s a free agent they have the Fox extension Kell Johnson and Jeremy Sohan also extension eligible they have the full med ex uh exception which I would love them to use on a player who could help them win now cuz I love the needle that they’re threading you wanted us to get Durant we didn’t We didn’t do it we’re not ready we maybe thought about going all in for Giannis maybe that’s off the table now it’s Giannis if it ever comes back on the table we at least have to think about it but right now we’re threading this needle of we could be real interesting this coming season because we have WBY we have Fox everybody loves our picks that we just made in Harper and Bryant um you give me one more guy in that mid level and the mid-level is going to be real powerful this coming summer i think that’s a really interesting team i I I don’t know who they’re going to get i hope they use it by the way on Giannis just food for thought all this has been framed as Giannis’ decision and it is Giannis’s decision in the end to to decide whether he wants to be on the Bucks or not i just throw this out should the Bucks want to trade Giannis is it actually in their best interest to trade him even though he’s still only 31 years old i think that’s a tough question but interesting one worth asking the Mavericks I just want to say this i don’t want to hear Nico Harrison talking about how now fans are starting to see the vision because the vision was two quarters against the Houston Rockets before Anthony Davis got hurt my god they’re clinging to those two quarters and now it’s Cooper Flag and there is no vision unless he’s an oracle of some kind and then the whole NBA is in trouble because a supernatural being has entered the league there’s no vision that includes you know what we’re going to do we’re going to lose in the playin and win the lottery in the Cooper flag year not the Zachary Reese year the Cooper flag year with a 1.8% chance of doing it and then the fans will see my vision then the fans will see just no more vision talk that’s all the team is good it’s a good team pj Washington’s extension eligible that’s a sneaky one to keep an eye on uh they need a point guard some point guard any point guard they’re really only going to have the baby mid-level exception to get it get that player and that will take them further into the tax so multiply whatever they spend by whatever the multiplication is for the tax it’s a lot of money we bought an NBA team we have to spend so much money um I don’t think they’re a title contender uh Kyrie Irving’s coming back from an ACL tear and you know we might not see him at his best we might We’re going to see him this year might not see him at his best till 26 27 but this is a very good team cool i I just wouldn’t I just wouldn’t I would just quiet on the vision talk speaking of the baby mid-level exception the Denver Nuggets have access to it and that may be the biggest tool that they have given their salary situation barring some Michael Porter Jr trade that I can’t see if they don’t use every bit of that taxpayer mid-level exception to get a real player and you can get a real player like a like a guy who could have been on the court when they didn’t trust anybody else to be on the court in the playoffs they can get that guy 12 minutes of a guy if they don’t get a real player with that that’s just going to be a giant blaring red flag because they have to do something anything to improve this team because they showed even with Aaron Gordon on one leg and Michael Porter Jr with one arm they took the champs to seven games because they have the best guy in the world and yeah they can count on the Strawther pickicket Don Holmes coming back um all those guys Peyton Watson extension eligible with Christian Brown by the way getting better and maybe that’s just all they can count on they’ve got to get if they cheap out on the on this mid-level exception they cheap out on it red flag toronto speaking of teams that are right at the tax should mention that Toronto parted ways with Messiah Jerry who had been the GM president of basketball operations there forever helped construct a championship team it’s been it’s been a little bit of a struggle since it’s a little bit of a mishmash of a team right now it’s hard it’s hard to build a team it’s hard to to pivot from an aging championship team and they were really good the year after when they went into the bubble with 50some wins without Kawaii uh into into a good team but they have Scotty Barnes they have a lot of interesting pieces just keep your eye on what happens to the Raptors in the next year or two what is this ownership change with Rogers and Edward Rogers taking over for Larry Tannon Bomb clearly it meant the end of Messiah Jiri which was there was had been buzz about that and their relationship being not awesome since 2021’s last extension with the team that was signed then it was contentious um and clearly it was not good because Messiah’s gone what does it mean for luxury tax payments what does it mean for running the team in the future staffing the team all of it like this is a seismic event for a team that was trying real hard over a long time to establish themsel as if not a marquee franchise cuz it’s hard to get to that level in the NBA like Lakers Celtics Knicks level not a destination franchise cuz it’s it’s just it’s hard to be a destination franchise when you’re the only one that’s not in the US and it’s cold and all that but I you know look Toronto is like my second NBA home i love Toronto everybody knows I love T Dot um it just is what it is but like they were a serious franchise and they better stay a serious franchise and you know the M Messiah era is the best era of that franchise history just tread carefully it’s all I’m saying they’re right at the tax i don’t know what they’re going to do their roster is almost full probably nothing memphis may be the most interesting team to watch in free agency in the next couple of days they have a lot of work to do they’re under the cap they have to get further under it to renegotiate and extend Jiren Jackson Jr which they kind of have to do after trading Bane and I think Jiren Jackson Jr.’s on the books for 23 million next year they’ve got to get that up to 33 billion to get to a point where you can extend off of that number and get to Jiren Jackson Jr.’s max the next year in 2627 his agents may say “By the way we’d like you to get a little higher than that we’d like you to get a little higher than 33 even if the extension is capped at the max why don’t you give us more money now this year we might we went more up front given the the drama we’ve had to live through as the you know the only NBA candidate on the team last year um they could wave and stretch Cole Anthony to to open up more room i don’t think they want to throw another pick away to incentivize like the Nets to take on any dead money or any money they need to get rid of after using a pick to trade up for a Cedric Coward not Colin Coward cedric Coward um might have to move Konchar but like I I’ve been saying this all along it’s not a done deal until it’s done they have to earn this extension for Jiren Jackson Jr and the other guy they have to figure out can we do that and how how high does our payroll get are we going to go all the way into the tax are we willing to go all the way into the tax because Santi Alama has full mid-level deals I think waiting for him at least that’s the scuttlebutt I’ve heard that he’s that he is sought after enough by a team like Detroit for instance with the full mid-level there’s a lot of teams with the full mid-level he’s an interesting kind of combination of skills and I think they’re going to have to pay to retain him and when you have full mid-level deals if you do in the open market your incumbent team might have to pay a little bit more than that using your bird rights to do it and then they’d have the salary cap room exception on top of that um just I’m just keeping an eye on them indiana resign Miles Turner don’t salary dump Ben Matan don’t do it don’t salary dump Obby Toppin i know Tyrese Hallebran’s gonna be out the whole year and it sucks and it’s horrible don’t let the Don’t let the good times fade the center carousel as somebody put it to me click Capella Brook Lopez Luke Cornet Al Horford who’s going to get more than the non-tax mid-level exception i think at least a couple of those guys will where are they going to go does Horford want to finish his career in Boston or not and I mentioned Detroit already we’ll see some signing trades um it’s going to be not your typical free agency right we don’t have a marquee name that we’re going to be tracking private jets and this guy’s going to destroy one franchise by leaving and lift up another one by staying but there’s going to be stuff that happens i just I just mentioned a bunch of big names or bigish names medium-sized names there’ll be another thing that shakes loose that we don’t see coming like they traded who to where signing trades signing trades are necessary we traded that guy got moved there’ll be stuff happening um but those I mentioned the Kings as a wild card those are just some places uh that I have my eye on as we get set for free agency that’s it for now uh thank you to Jesse for hopping on on production on the weekend i’ll be back Tuesday morning assuming enough stuff interesting happens uh between now and then bill has you covered tomorrow probably with Rillo I’m guessing thank you for listening to the

  1. I would love for LBJ to leave, There is no way he will, but Luka won't win a chip while LeBron is on the team. This isn't hating, it's just that LBJ makes too much money and would definitely serve the Lakers well if they could spend that money elsewhere. Yes, LeBron will be good in the regular season, but the reality is a deep playoff run for him is not on the table.

  2. Most intellectually honest and humble basketball discussion I’ve seen in ages

    Wild how Adam Morrison has two NBA championship rings, with Kobe’s Lakers

  3. C'mon Zach, saying Sacramento Kings has interest in Jaylen Brownis just nonsense. They don't have anything to offer for him anyway

  4. Correction Multiple teams have access to the full MIL . DFS may opt out from the lakers and take a multi year deal that pays the MIL . About the same money

  5. being the agent of terry rozier and jonathan kuminga sounds a bit depressing .. I mean you get to say youre an nba agent.. of scary terry remains and former high draft pick..
    on a serious thought IMO Bucks should trade Giannis, theres no good outcome, no assets , no roster… while Giannis is still top 5 MVP candidate they should cash in.

  6. Needed this, I’m curious what small move the Knicks do. I thought lonzo was the perfect fit but nope.

  7. nuggets should trade their future firsts, I think they only have tradeable in 30s, plus 2 swaps, packaged with MPJ for a real player or 2 preferably.. shed Zeke contract along the way

  8. Celtics need to trade JB .. not cause hes bad, but cause you cant pay 2 guys over 60mill. with second apron , unless those guys are Luka, SGA, Giannis, Joker..

  9. ESPN are clowns. letting go all of their talent and keeping Malika the puppet master and the DEI hires lol. Old media is dead

  10. Clippers! Don’t just add to your team, subtract from another— go get revenge on Dallas and pry away PJ Washington

  11. The fact that ESPN wouldn’t let him use “The Lowe Post” is the epitome of everything that is wrong with them. Are they going to use it?

  12. Zach pulls off the solo piece. Sometimes guests are just a nuisance unless we get an OG like Chris Herring or Kevin Arnovitz

  13. Zach Lowe真的是不可多得的籃球寫手,希望未來能看到更多他深入的分析文章!

  14. Talking about Toronto is cold as if NY, Boston, Chicago & Minnesota is not cold. Tironto is a unique market. The most diverse city in N.America if not the world w/ access to an plethora of Canadian young talent about to enter the league. And not to mention which I know it will remain as lomg as Ed Rogers don't mess things up and get rid of Masai's staff who all received extension to the young talent in Africa. Not to mention the geopolitical mayhem in the world which U.S is at the centred at & ICE immigration issues. Toronto will be prime to allow sanity for international players.

  15. Kuminga and Rozier having the same agent is very interesting. Both players would benefit from new scenery. Only issue is if GS wants Terry. Seems like a good replacement to Poole tho..
