Martin Weiss and Zach Harper start off the show reacting to LeBron James' decision to join the 76ers and how it impacts the rest of the NBA. The guys discuss where the 76ers rank going into the season now with LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid and how the signing drastically affected the chances of the Cavaliers, Heat, and Pistons of winning the Eastern Conference. Martin and Zach debate whether or not the Lakers are in a better position without LeBron James after adding Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, and Colin Sexton before also discussing how the Warriors are a big loser in free agency after missing out on LeBron.

The guys suspect who could be a surprise cut for the Broncos this training camp. Phil shares about his time getting cut from the Colts and the process of signing with the practice squad.

The main crew is back — Grant, John Browner and Beav — for a loaded night. The guys open on the World Cup, where Argentina erased a two-goal Egypt lead in stunning fashion (Messi doing Messi things) and a VAR overturn had everyone yelling "rigged." Then it's deep into Clippers offseason chaos: the Kawhi, Brandon Ingram and Walker Kessler deals still aren't official, the CBA apron is making everything a nightmare to track, and the panel goes to war over whether a $116M swing for Peyton Watson makes any sense — or whether Lawrence Frank is just doing stuff to do stuff. Should they simply re-sign Bennedict Mathurin and develop the No. 5 pick instead? In the post-show, the crew relitigates the SGA regret and closes with a full LeBron James free-agency breakdown: Denver, Golden State, or Philly? New episodes drop nightly.

The first wave of the NBA offseason is complete, and Wes Goldberg has some strong opinions. Before welcoming Bobby Manning of CLNS, Wes runs through the moves he feels most confident about—including the Clippers' franchise reset, Miami's blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Charlotte's decision to move on from LaMelo Ball, and why Phoenix's trade for Miles Bridges leaves more questions than answers. He also dives into the moves he's still wrestling with, including Ja Morant's fit in Portland, the Lakers' massive investment in Walker Kessler, and whether Philadelphia's acquisition of Jaylen Brown will age well.  Then Bobby Manning joins the show to unpack Brad Stevens' explanation for trading Brown, discussing the impact of the new CBA, Boston's financial reality, whether the Celtics waited too long to pivot, and where the franchise goes from here. Finally, Wes ranks LeBron James' reported landing spots and reveals the destination he believes gives LeBron the best chance to chase one more championship.   RealGM Radio is your top spot for the best weekly NBA coverage.

It's been the wildest week of the NBA offseason, and Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper have a lot to get through. The show kicks off with an argument nobody asked for — Rob's theory that every undersized, unathletic kid in America should just go play soccer — before the guys dig into the trade that broke Twitch: Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and draft compensation.   They break down whether Boston's “JB and JT can't win a title together” reasoning holds up, debate how fast (or slow) Philly fans will actually embrace a guy who spent a decade calling them the enemy, and dig into what Paul George's fit looks like next to a Jayson Tatum-led Celtics squad.   From there it's a full lap around the Lakers, who added Luka Dončić, AR, and Walker Kessler to a roster that's got the internet cracking jokes about the “Mayo Mob” and “Live, Laugh, Lakers.” Horry and Harper get into the actual basketball case for the moves, what the Kessler trade cost L.A. in draft capital, and why Rui Hachimura bolted for the Clippers on a deal Horry thinks his agent should be fired over.   The back half covers the Wizards quietly stacking three former No. 1 picks, a Rich Paul clip that reignites the LeBron-to-Cleveland chatter, Donovan Mitchell's new max extension, and a run through free agency moves including Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simmons, and DeMar DeRozan hitting the open market. Pat McAfee gets Big Shout of the Week honors, and the guys close it out with a round of “History Repeating,” matching this year's NBA storylines to their 2018 twins.   00:00  Cold Open & Intro 01:30  Should American Kids Just Play Soccer? 09:30  Jaylen Brown Traded to the Sixers 12:00  Do Fans Really Forgive Former Rivals? 16:00  Will Philly Embrace Jaylen Brown? 19:00  Shams' Report: Were Tatum & Brown Really Done? 21:30  Paul George Heads to Boston 26:30  Tatum Becomes the Guy in Boston 28:30  Lakers' New Look Sparks TikTok Nicknames 31:00  Breaking Down the Walker Kessler Trade 35:00  Rui Hachimura Bolts for the Clippers 42:30  Wizards Land Three Former No. 1 Picks 44:00  Rich Paul's LeBron-to-Knicks Bombshell 46:30  Where Does LeBron Land?

In this episode we discuss the two major NBA moves from the week. Plus, a look into the world cup round of 16 games.

The NBA offseason has been wild, and fantasy values are shifting fast. Tim, Bruski, and Dr. A break down the biggest winners and losers from free agency, including Walker Kessler, Coby White, Kel'el Ware, LaMelo Ball, Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard and more.
