On today's episode, we celebrate the Oklahoma City Thunder for capturing the championship this season. Unfortunately, Game 7 came with a tough blow for Indiana, as Tyrese Haliburton suffered a torn Achilles—making him the eighth player this season to go down with the same injury. We dive into the growing concern around the rising number of Achilles tears in recent years and what might be causing this trend. With these major injuries hitting the Eastern Conference and several teams shifting their rosters to create cap flexibility, the East is now wide open. We break down which teams are best positioned to take advantage and emerge as contenders.

BT and Sal ignite a heated debate about the Knicks' head coaching search, with Jason Kidd at the center. While reports suggest Kidd views the Knicks as a "dream job," BT and Sal are highly skeptical of his character, calling him "slippery" and predicting a disastrous clash with Knicks management. They discuss the perceived power dynamic Kidd seeks, the idea of him using the Knicks for leverage, and whether the allure of New York and an "easier" Eastern Conference path outweighs the stability of his current situation in Dallas, especially after the contentious departure of Luka Dončić from the Mavericks.

Frank and Jason are back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown, and today's was a busy one. Earlier this morning, Frank broke the story that a new CBA is coming and he outlined all of the changes that are coming with that. The guys dug into all of that and Gregor said what he liked and didn't like about some of the new elements of the CBA, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season.Before they talked about that, they did discuss the massive deal that went down on Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The deal seems a bit underwhelming on the surface and the guys talked about that. Frank also shared what some other options may have been for GM Kevyn Adams.They then really sunk their teeth into the new CBA and new massive changes that are coming, including new term limits, a closing of the LTIR loophole, and an 84-game regular season.Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the upcoming free agent class and the chances of a top ten pick getting moved in the 2025 NHL Draft.In the back half of the show, they did their offseason previews for the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are apparently itching to make some big moves, but they're not alone. The Devils and Hurricanes are likely in that boat as well. The Leafs could also be a team that looks very different next season.The challenge for some of the other competitors like the Panthers, will be trying to dance around some cap challenges.They wrapped up the show with an announcement about the future of the podcast as Frank officially moves on from Daily Faceoff after this week.0:45 - Utah lands Peterka6:00 - What else was on the table for Buffalo?9:55 - The new CBA22:54 - Buy or Sell (Top 10 Free Agents, Penguins, Moving a Top 10 Pick)32:40 - Montreal Canadiens38:00 - New Jersey Devils42:10 - Ottawa Senators46:35 - Tampa Bay Lightning51:50 - Washington Capitals53:40 - Carolina Hurricanes55:25 - Toronto Maple Leafs57:50 - Florida PanthersWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

This episode provides insights into potential future moves for the Celtics, including the possible trade of Jalen Brown and what it means for the team's prospects in the coming seasons.
