The Future of NBA Team-Building; Plus, The Nuggets, the Kings, and Defense: does either have enough to win the title? Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

Danny Leroux joins us for a talk about the top two teams in the Western Conference: The Denver Nuggets and the Sacramento Kings. They are the two best offenses in the league, but each have defensive warts (the Kings much moreso than the Nuggets). Can these two teams win a title with their respective defenses? Then, Danny and I shift into future mode. The NBA changes in tangible ways every year. The NBA in 2028 will look different than the NBA in 2023. And figuring that out ahead of time is one of the true keys to team-building. So Danny and I chat about it and try to determine what the future of NBA team building could hold.

Mark Schindler is here, and we have three topics for the day.

We bring up two names with somewhat similar roles/ideals for their future translation, and break them down in comparison to one another. We do three of them: Jordan Hawkins vs. Gradey Dick; Taylor Hendricks vs. Jarace Walker; Colby Jones vs. Terrance Shannon Jr. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
