Show notes

The first wave of the NBA offseason is complete, and Wes Goldberg has some strong opinions. Before welcoming Bobby Manning of CLNS, Wes runs through the moves he feels most confident about—including the Clippers' franchise reset, Miami's blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Charlotte's decision to move on from LaMelo Ball, and why Phoenix's trade for Miles Bridges leaves more questions than answers. He also dives into the moves he's still wrestling with, including Ja Morant's fit in Portland, the Lakers' massive investment in Walker Kessler, and whether Philadelphia's acquisition of Jaylen Brown will age well.

Then Bobby Manning joins the show to unpack Brad Stevens' explanation for trading Brown, discussing the impact of the new CBA, Boston's financial reality, whether the Celtics waited too long to pivot, and where the franchise goes from here. Finally, Wes ranks LeBron James' reported landing spots and reveals the destination he believes gives LeBron the best chance to chase one more championship.

Jaylen Brown Trade Fallout, Eastern vs Western Conference and the Most Catastrophic Trade in NBA History | Good Take Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Jaylen Brown's blockbuster trade kicks off another episode of Good Take, as Wes Goldberg is joined by special guest Dave DuFour of The Athletic NBA Show. The guys open by discussing what the Celtics' decision says about today's NBA, why Brown's trade market wasn't nearly as robust as many expected, and whether we've entered what Ethan Strauss has called the "Negotiation Era" of team building.

Then it's time for the takes. Dave argues that the Eastern Conference is suddenly deeper than the West after a chaotic offseason, while Wes makes the case that the Lakers' 2021 Russell Westbrook blockbuster is the most catastrophic trade in NBA history because of everything it ultimately cost the franchise. Which take deserves the coveted And-1? Watch, then head to the RealGM Radio YouTube Community page to cast your vote.

Show notes

Who are the 20 best players in the NBA heading into next season? We're doing the impossible: a way-too-early ranking of the league's elite and debating which stars belong in each tier. We start with the true franchise carriers—Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, and Giannis Antetokounmpo—the superstars capable of dragging a team into contention. Then we break down the No. 1 options who can lead championship runs with the right supporting cast, including Luka Dončić, Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jayson Tatum. We also discuss the players we still need to see more from, including Cade Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, and Karl-Anthony Towns, plus rank a loaded wing group featuring Kawhi Leonard, Jalen Williams, and Jaylen Brown. Can Tyrese Maxey and Scottie Barnes save the East Play-In tier? And where do NBA legends Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James belong as they continue to defy Father Time? Plus, we reveal the stars who just missed the cut, including Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Jamal Murray, and Pascal Siakam.
