FCP 028– Raptors Spurs Offseason / In this episode host Glen Willis is joined by Greg Willis. They provide a review of the offseason transactions and look ahead to the 2017-2018 season for the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs. The Raptors lost four key veteran players. Are the young players ready to step in and handle consistent rotation minutes and the responsibilities that come with them? Will Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan get enough help? They have less depth but are playing in a weakened Eastern Conference. Will they be able to prioritize a 7-8 player rotation that will set them up for more success in the postseason? The Spurs are the Spurs. How will Pop handle the absence of Tony Parker at the point guard position? The LaMarcus Aldridge experience has been bumpy. Will it be better this season? How close is Kawhi Leonard to be the single best player in the league? All of this and more on the outlook for the 2017-18 season for the Raptors and Spurs.

77 - Bye LeBron(?): The Too-Early 2018 NBA Free-Agency Primer You Didn't Ask For / Pretty much every 2017 NBA
77 - Bye LeBron(?): The Too-Early 2018 NBA Free-Agency Primer You Didn't Ask For / Pretty much every 2017 NBA free agent you care about has signed a contract—except, for some reason, JaMychal Green and Nerlens Noel. But those are topics for a different day, in a different place. - Because right here, right now, in the world of Hardwood Knocks, we're turning our attention to 2018 free agency. - Correct: We're getting an 11-month jump on the process, in part because we can, but also beause this stuff already matters. The league is still reeling from the spending craze in 2016. Multiple sources claimed to ESPN.com's Tim MacMahon that the NBA is headed for a nuclear winter-style summer in 2018, with plenty of free agents expected to get "squeezed." - Who are those free agents? Which players suddenly aren't so likely to opt out of their contracts? Which teams will be the biggest offseason players? Where will LeBron James go? Is there any hope at all he'll stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers? Might he (pretty please) consider the San Antonio Spurs or Philadelphia 76ers? And what about the NBA's other top-20 free agents? Where will they all end up? (Yes, we go through all of them. You're welcome.) - All this, and more, awaits you in the latest episode of Hardwood Knocks. If nothing else, come for the free-agency speculation, stay for the chance to listen as Andy and Dan fly off the rails in real-time! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

75 - NBA Offseason Winners and Losers and Holy Moly the Oklahoma City Thunder / Guess what? No, seriously, guess. Hurry up. You're taking too long. - Screw it, we'll just tell you: The NBA offseason is old enough for us to—wait for it—pass judgement from the comfort of our lavish (read: regular) recording studios (read: respective living rooms)! - In the latest edition of Hardwood Knocks, Andy Bailey and Dan Favale cycle through the biggest offseason winners and losers from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. We know the Oklahoma City Thunder make the cut, but are they the biggest winners of the summer thus far? Where do the Boston Celtics fall on this scale? They basically, after all, signed Gordon Hayward twice. - Has the Cleveland Cavaliers' offseason been that bad? Should San Antonio Spurs fans buy custom-made LeBron James jerseys now or wallow in the fact that Chris Paul ended up with the Houston Rockets? Are the New York Knicks the NBA's biggest laughingstock? Or does that honor belong to the Detroit Pistons? Or perhaps the Indiana Pacers? - And, finally, have the Philadelphia 76ers punched their ticket to the 2018 NBA Finals, or will they have to wait until, like, 2019 for their first championship? - We've got your shocking, and not-so-shocking, and sometimes-awful, truths about the NBA offseason right here.

On. - The NBA's free-agency bonanza is upon us, so it's time to get weird and busy and weirdly busy with the Hardwood Knocks' official free-agency primer. Hosts Andy Bailey and Dan Favale blow through a ton of topics, because they like hearing themselves speak, but also because this particularl primer won't be automatically dated. You're guaranteed to take away something new and exicting and valuable and whatever from this powwow deep into free agency. - Topics discussed include the Chris Paul trade; what this deal means for the rest of the NBA; a weird free-agent point guard market; the Houston Rockets' next move; Paul George's situation in Indiana; Gordon Hayward deciding between the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics; the plans of the Celtics in general; the future of the San Antonio Spurs; Phil Jackson's exit from the New York Knicks; potential Zen Master replacements for those Knicks; Kyle Lowry's future with the Toronto Raptors; Paul Millsap's next landing spot; Blake Griffin's fit with the Los Angeles Clippers; why Griffin should actually sign with the Miami Heat; hypothetical trade scenarios; and so much more! - Grab some popcorn (or chicken fingers with honey mustard because those rule), your favorite beverage and come join us.

73 - Sorry Cleveland: The Golden State Warriors Are NBA Overlords...So Now What? / The Golden State Warriors ran roughshod over the rest of the NBA this season, from start to finish. Not even the Cleveland Cavaliers could slow them down during the NBA Finals. - So...now what? - The rest of the league must respond to the Warriors' open-ended title window in some fashion. The Cavaliers need another star. Can they trade for one? The Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz must decide whether to go all-in on trying to win now. Will they opt for urgency or slow-play their current situations? The San Antonio Spurs are linked to Chris Paul. Can they get him? And will he make them a viable championship contender, relative to Golden State's collection of talent? - Also, we talk hypothetical trades of our own design—and yours, too.

Zaza Pachulia ruined any chance the Spurs had of being competitive with the Golden State Warriors, while the Boston Celtics just don't have a chance in H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks of keeping pace with the Cleveland Cavaliers—particularly after losing Isaiah Thomas for the rest of the year with a hip injury. - Fortunately, we still have a Cavaliers-Warriors NBA Finals rubber match to emotionally invest in. And the Cavaliers have proved they are ready for the Warriors even more so than last year. It doesn't matter that Kevin Durant is on the team this time around. Cleveland's demolition of the Eastern Conference speaks to the higher brand of competition that awaits us in the championship round. Nothing could go wrong.

69 (nice) - An Ode to LeBron James, Spurs, Warriors and NBA's Upper-Middle Class / The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, along with the San Antonio Spurs, have monopolized the NBA's scope of success. And now, with a rubber match between the Cavaliers and Warriors most likely set to take place in the NBA Finals, what does that mean for the upper-middle class? Do they keep investing in their own current, lesser-heralded success, or must they pivot into rebuilding and sabattical periods, with the intention of waiting out the title windows in Oakland and Cleveland? - The Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz are impacted by this lopsided reality most. They're the ones who need to double down on their current models this summer or about-face into something different. The Jazz will rocket into the luxury tax if they re-sign Gordon Hayward, Joe Ingles and George Hill. Toronto's payroll will exploded past $150 million, before luxury taxes, if they run it back. Four of the Clippers' five starters are free agents. The Celtics must decide whether to consolidate trade assets into a star or, because of the Cavaliers and Warriors, keep toeing the line between rebuilding and competing. - What should they all do? What should other teams in similar situations do? The Hardwood Knocks homiez figure it out, while also rapping about the Western Conference Finals, Eastern Conference Finals and LeBron James' legacy. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Draymond Green discusses NBA defensive player of the year / In this week's A to Z, Sam sits down with the Warriors' Draymond Green to debate the Defensive Player of the Year award and discuss his well-known prowess on that end of the floor. How would he judge players if he had a vote, and why shouldn't Utah's Rudy Gobert or back-to-back winner Kawhi Leonard of the San Antonio Spurs win it? - The two-time All-Star has been close to winning this honor the past two seasons, only to lose out to Leonard. But this year, with the Warriors again among the top defensive squads in the NBA even after losing Kevin Durant to injury recently, it may finally be Green's year to win it. And as always, the 27-year-old Green isn't afraid to speak his mind.

The guys start out with who should’ve been starting, but didn’t get the nod. They then break down who should be on the reserves on the East and West teams. They start with the East and an obvious pick in Kyle Lowry. They then look at some who should be in and some who are long shots. Does the poor season in New York hurt the chances of Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis? They go out west and discuss some difficult picks into guys who should be on the team but might not make it. They discuss if Portland’s step back this season hurts Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum’s chances. After they talk All-Stars, they discuss the state of the top of the league coming out of the big San Antonio Spurs win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
