S6 Ep58: Conference Finals Preview + Trades for the Bucks, Wolves & More
About this episode
The episode previews the Conference Finals and discusses potential trades for the Bucks and Timberwolves, along with insights from Brendan Suhr on various teams and players.
Conference Finals are set, and we have takes. On tonight's show: Anthony Edwards congratulated the Spurs with eight minutes still on the clock, and Brendan Suhr - 47 years in the NBA - says he's never seen anything like it. We get into what that actually says about Minnesota. Brendan also went on record with a guarantee: Giannis will not be a Milwaukee Buck next season, but when you look around the league, there is almost no team with a real trade package for him. We break down who could actually make a move. In the West, both of the guys think the Spurs might be more dangerous than their seeding suggests, Brendan goes as far as saying OKC has to win every single home game just to stay alive. We pick both Conference Finals series, break down the Thunder-Spurs tactical battle, and discuss what the Knicks need to do to get to the Finals. Plus: Brendan was at the NBA Draft Combine this week and saw a player from Baylor do something so impressive he didn't even come back the next day. We get into the top prospects, who helped themselves, who's going back to school, and what Brendan would do with the number one pick. Topics covered: Cavs beat Pistons 125-94 in Game 7 - what went wrong…
