Sam Amick, national NBA writer for The Athletic, joins Ethan J. Skolnick to discuss the plan and all of its parts. How will various teams be affected? Does LeBron benefit? Miami? Philadelphia? Portland?

Miami Heat: OKC Thunder, Chris Paul first round? Uh oh. May 26, 2020

Show notes

There continue to be reports about an NBA return in Orlando, and now there's more discussion about seeding the teams 1-16, without conferences.

That means the Miami Heat would play the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.

On paper, that sounds like an OK matchup, but digging deeper, Chris Paul and company would present problems.

Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo break it down.

Keith Smith on the NBA's Orlando return plan May 21, 2020

Show notes

Keith Smith of Yahoo! Sports may have willed it into existence. He wrote a month ago that the NBA should consider Orlando's Wide World of Sports as a site for its 2019-20 season return.

Now that site appears to be the frontrunner.

Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo speak to Smith about all the developments.

How would it work? Who would compete? How would they stay safe? What will it mean for the salary cap, and players like Giannis, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Chris Paul and more?
