POD: 2025 Playoff + Off-Season talk

[jwoo]

WE ARE BACK

JWoo, Wes, Clintón, Heimé and Merv discuss the first-round playoff results and go through many of the interesting teams to monitor this off-season, including the Nets and T-Wolves getting hit with tank penalties, the cap space teams and FA situations, and who should consider selling in what could be a fun market.

This is my first pod of the season idk about anyone else, sorry lol

[Merv]

The deep dive on Clint’s heritage is why this is a must listen!

“Welcome back Merv, everyone picked the Knicks while you were gone” - JWoo

“That’s fine” - Merv

“I didn’t. I picked the Magic.” - Clint

“No you didn’t.” - JWoo

“Yeah I’m pretty high on the Knicks.” - Clint

a bit too much Darius Garland disrespect - you gotta look at the difference in winning % of the Nets and Cavs with and without Garland. Garland was dragging the cavs to some early wins, and Garland helped the nets go from like 2 wins to almost 30

they had only played 12 games through 30 days (1-11) against mostly playoff teams and had a deeply negative player starting at PG prior to the garland acquisition.

you’re talking about bad teams getting a little better or a little worse. can he start at PG on a good team ? doubt it. i would be a nervous nelly if i were the GM of that team. however, i bet he’d be a great backup 1/2.

would love to be proven wrong !

I guess a good team needs to acquire him, or let garland rise the swamp out of the depths , fair points! I’m talking from personal experience of trying to be bad and this guy not letting me in the first 30 days
