Heat Check & Draft Effects
About this episode
The episode discusses recent NBA coaching changes and player trades, focusing on the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers.
This week on The Prophets, Kev and Rashad break down the Dallas Mavericks hiring Dusty May as their next head coach after leading Michigan to a national championship. A fascinating twist of Dallas pairing May with former Michigan star Morez Johnson while continuing to build around Cooper Flagg. Is this the start of something special in Dallas, or are the Mavericks taking a massive gamble on a coach with no NBA experience? Then we head to Portland, where the Trail Blazers filled the league’s final coaching vacancy by hiring Micah Nori. While many around the league respect Nori’s basketball mind, the contract details have people talking. Later, we discuss the Julius Randle sign-and-trade to Brooklyn and what it means for the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves. How does this impact Anthony Edwards’ championship window? Did Minnesota get better, worse, or simply more flexible as they continue trying to build a contender around their superstar?We also dive into the blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to Miami. What do we love about the deal? What concerns us? Did the Heat finally land the superstar they’ve been chasing, and did Milwaukee get enough in return? Become a supporter…
