81 - The Milwaukee Giannis Antetokounmpos: 2017-18 Bucks Preview w/Brian Sampson / As far as NBA offseasons go, the Milwaukee Bucks' summer was not especially active. They re-signed Tony Snell and drafted D.J. Wilson and Sterling Brown. That's their sabattical in a nutshell. - Standing mostly pat is taboo unless you're a juggernaut, and last season, the Bucks were no superpower. They finished with the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference and gave the Toronto Raptors a little scare before bowing out in the first round of the playoffs. Standard stuff. - Jabari's Parker ACL injury suggests they needed to be more aggressive over the summer. But they had zero cap space and not a lot of expendable trade assets. In many ways, they were—they are—plain stuck. - And that's okay. - Giannis Antetokounmpo is just 22 and already closer to a top-five player than not. Mix in a fully healthy Khris Middleton, a reborne Snell and another season of development for Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon and Thon Maker, and the Bucks might really have something. They're long as hell, with a Baby Death Squad to rival all the other Death Squad knockoffs. - Equally important: The East remains trash. Just as pessimists can see the Bucks nearly falling out of the playoffs, it doesn't take a serial optimist to realize they could, feasibly, end up with one of the three best records in the conference while Antetokounmpo contends for MVP honors. - Where will the Bucks ultimately land? Nobody knows...except NBA Math's Brian Sampson (@BrianSampsonNBA), who hopped on the podcast to discuss all things Deer. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

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.

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.
