What if we're wrong about everything in the NBA Finals? We preview Spurs-Knicks from every angle, then we draft the playoff guys we trust most in a Game 7, and finish with fake trades that would absolutely break NBA Twitter. Dan Favale of Bleacher Report and the Hardwood Knocks podcast joins Wes Goldberg on RealGM Radio for a big-picture NBA Finals preview and offseason chaos episode. First, Wes and Dan ask: what if we're wrong about Spurs-Knicks? Are we underrating San Antonio's readiness with Victor Wembanyama already leading a Finals team? Are we still not taking the Knicks seriously enough after their run through the East? And what is the one Finals storyline nobody is talking about? Then, Wes and Dan draft the top playoff guys they would trust most in a Game 7 right now. This isn't an MVP ranking or a best-player list — it's about trust when the stakes are highest. Where do Wemby, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Steph Curry and others land? Finally, they close with fake trades that would break NBA Twitter.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the latest playoff action before getting into their best NBA takes of the week. Wes argues that the twin-towers era may already be over before it ever really began. After teams like the Rockets, Timberwolves and Cavaliers struggled in the playoffs, are jumbo lineups being exposed? The NBA may still value rim protection, but the next wave of elite bigs — Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Evan Mobley — looks different from the traditional two-big builds teams used to counter Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. Then, Mike explains why the Memphis Grizzlies may be the best-positioned team in the NBA Draft with the No. 3 pick, able to land a star prospect without the pressure of making the top decision. Plus, the guys say goodbye to the Cavaliers with three ways to fix Cleveland this offseason, including what the James Harden trade means, why Kenny Atkinson is returning, and how the Cavs should rethink their championship path.

The New York Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals, and their run raises a fascinating team-building question: how did they build a championship contender without relying on homegrown lottery picks? Wes Goldberg is joined by Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks to break down how New York built its Finals team around Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Unlike past Knicks regimes that chased shortcuts with moves like Eddy Curry, Joakim Noah, Andrea Bargnani and Steve Francis, this version of the Knicks showed patience, adjusted the roster over time and built a real championship formula. Then, John Wilmes of RealGM joins to talk about the biggest NBA offseason questions. What should the Cleveland Cavaliers do after falling short? Where could Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kawhi Leonard land if they hit the trade market? What happens with Ja Morant? And which surprise stars — including Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Alperen Sengun and Zion Williamson — could become trade candidates?

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio, starting with their reactions to the Oklahoma City Thunder taking Game 2 of the Western Conference finals vs the San Antonio Spurs. Mike opens with a bold free agency prediction. Then Wes argues that NBA teams are realizing something important: it's almost impossible to win a championship when your best player is over 30. From Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama, to Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell, the league is shifting toward younger stars. What does that mean for Giannis trade offers, Kawhi Leonard's market, Kevin Durant's next move and teams like the Cavaliers or Rockets? Plus, Wes makes the case for Durant becoming the NBA's John Wick, and the guys lay out three ways to fix the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
