Show Notes
In honor of FanDuel Futures Day, today's show is all about the biggest gambles that NBA teams and players made this offseason. We start in New York, where the Knicks made the risky decision to fire a successful coach in Tom Thibodeau and hire Mike Brown, disrupting their continuity in hopes of reaching a higher ceiling. Then we turn to Houston, where the Rockets pushed their chips in by trading for Kevin Durant in an attempt to jumpstart their progress.
The high-stakes moves continue in Milwaukee, where the Bucks are walking a tightrope, retooling their roster by moving on from Damian Lillard in a bid to keep a non-committal Giannis Antetokounmpo happy and engaged for the long term. We also try to make sense of the Sacramento Kings' offseason, which has resulted in a confusing roster that has us questioning their direction. Finally, we wrap up the Elite Eight of our Tournament of Moves with two monumental matchups: Michael Jordan's post fadeaway against Allen Iverson's killer crossover, and Hakeem Olajuwon's Dream Shake versus Kobe Bryant's baseline fadeaway to set our Final Four.
