Draft Winners and Losers: Wizards Relief, Mavs Realities, Spurs Questions, and Good News for People Who Like Bad Front Offices
On today's show Andrew and Ben recap the NBA Draft. First: The spectrum of emotions as the Wizards orbit Ace Bailey for 36 hours and then end up with Tre Johnson instead, the Sixers land V.J. Edgecombe as a bridge to the future, why the Mavs were bigger winners than Cooper Flagg on Wednesday, and the Spurs keep it simple at 2 as the bigger picture remains cloudy. From there (55:00): Marveling at the last 96 hours of Pelicans decisions, fact-checking the notion that Sean Marks is up to something, and confusion with the Blazers and Bulls confusion. At the end (1:50:00): Congrats to the GOAT bracket winner, a bit of poetry, and a shout out to “Boomtown” author Sam Anderson for his adventures touring Oklahoma City with his champagne cork this week.
