We have a special FREE AGENCY episode of The Old Man and The Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter. Our guest today is none other than the ESPN legend, Brian Windhorst. Topics include: JJ and Tommy discuss Summer League and Chet Holmgren’s Rookie Of The Year odds against Victor Wembanyama. Then Brian joins us to dig into all things free agency, including why he likes what The Los Angeles Lakers have done and why The Denver Nuggets might’ve had one of the more disappointing free agencies thus far, a deep dive into the business side of the modern NBA and looking at the history of the CBA, why Brian doesn’t blame Damain Lillard for asking for a trade from The Portland Trailblazers, Brian’s journey covering LeBron James from such a young age and why Pat Riley and The Miami Heat weren’t big fans of his when he followed LeBron to Miami, his biggest career regrets, the amazing “What’s Going On In Utah” meme and so much more.

Just a great pod by windy
Awesome how busy Windy probably is but still took the time to do this. You could tell he was looking at his phone the whole interview which was funny.
Please have him back within the year. Top top top tier guest, episode, and podcast.
JJ & Skip would be a dope show I’d tune into everyday.
Windy is fantastic to listen to
I get what there saying, but I feel most the players the lakers received are low risk high reward. Like can reddish if he balls like he’s shown flashes to do, that’s a steal
Chet and wemby if healthy should have a great season. But they will give it to wemby regardless
Best guest
Taurean Prince isn’t good. Gabe Vincent is barely better than Prince. Lakers moves are blah. And Bron gets 1 year older… the Bron getting 1 year older is a bigger impact than the value add of the free agents even maybe. People just love to say Lakers. Off-season wasn’t anything
Hearing Windy say “let me cook” is always so funny
Do you really have to be a basketball sicko to watch summer league? Maybe I like the sport more than I thought cuz I always watch😂
There have been superstars, owners, legends on this podcast.. this is really the most interesting guest they've had, making the business part of the sport which is rather boring extremely fun to understand
Replace “Tommy” he’s trash and doesn’t even sit up straight. Bum
42:25 for LeBron and Windy discussion.
The analysis of current dollars by players from past dollars is incredibly bad.
Those who do the work have every single right to the fruit. Whatever that dollar value is.
As a recently graduated journalist I loved watching Windy share some of his experiences! So much knowledge in this call. Thanks and congratulations fellas! Shoutout from Brazil! ❤️🇧🇷
I appreciate these deep dives. Absolutely informative and entertaining.
The fact they say that the kings not signed anybody of notice says a lot that they only follow hype and do go indept…. Kings signed Vezenkov he's a european mvp
Articulate, thoughtful, unadulterated intelligent discourse on my favour league. Rare & much needed entertainment. Well done. More of this!!
The last line from Windy "LET ME COOK"
You heard the man, LET EM COOK
I could listen to Windy talk and tell stories all day.
windhorst: JJ….what's your wingspan?
JJ:…….. it's negative.
lmaooooooooo🤣😂
Paolo down in Orlando is making those connections!! Within Team USA!!
He knows ball
Excellent Guest!
Windhorst really understands the nuts and bolts of the business of the NBA.
It was a easy and good listen!
JJ, you and Tommy know when to let your guests breathe…..
Windy and Ramona have always held a soft spot for me🙏🏼 let the man cook 👨🏻🍳
PLEASE HAVE BRAIN BACK ON, AMAZING GUEST AND GREAT CONVO
Windhorst is really really smart
Jj redick is better than espn
