Summary

The Athletic’s Jovan Buha guests to discuss the dawn of the JJ Redick era in LA. How much of an upgrade will Redick be on Darvin Ham? What are the prospects for the return of Jarrett Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent? Will the lack of depth sink this squad? Under what circumstances will the Lakers make a trade to bolster their playoff chase, and what are the holes they need to fill? Should Austin Reaves be untouchable in trade talks? How do the Lakers get to be a top-5 offense? Can LeBron and AD keep it going another year? Our predictions for the season. Celtics reporter Noa Dalzell of CLNS and SBNation joins to look ahead to Boston’s title defense. The key topics: What was the secret sauce to last year’s crazy regular season numbers? Which players are possible regression candidates this season? Which players who weren’t in the rotation last year can contribute this year? How can Jayson Tatum take another step forward? Was Derrick White’s career year sustainable? How do the Celtics match up with their chief competition in the East? Are Kristaps Porzingis’ awesome postup numbers going to carry over to the postseason? Our predictions for the season

0:07.2	I'm doing well I'm doing well how you doing? I'm pretty jet lag. This is my third podcast today.
0:13.0	So we're reporting it late at night.
0:16.0	Things could get a little spicy here.
0:18.0	We'll have to see...
