It’s officially speculation season (Szn?) in the NBA, with the finals wrapped up and the condensed offseason primed to deliver the draft in a few weeks as well as free agency and a number of trades.
Nobody loves speculation quite like people who talk about sports for a living (unless it’s the people who listen to the people who talk about sports for a living), and since I guess I fit into BOTH categories I listened with interest to Zach Lowe’s recent ESPN podcast on which Bill Simmons was a guest.
These are two guys who could probably take up permanent residence inside ESPN’s Trade Machine, and their offseason podcast was full of dueling banjos style deals.
