PTBN's NBA-Team: Spend Fast, Cap Hard

The NBA offseason is upon us, but if you blinked, you missed free agency and the trade market drying up like Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard's max contracts. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back after a quick deal summary episode to deep dive what exactly these teams are trying to accomplish. The dreaded luxury tax apron strikes again as contenders either dove in or backed out of paying the big bill. But first, they talk about last month's draft as Adam tries to talk Andrew off the ledge after the Pelicans pulled one of the most stupefying draft day deals of all-time. The guys also talk about LeBron's realistic options after opting in to his final year of his deal with the Lakers, the Bucks sabotaging the Pacers, draft day surprises, the Knicks hiring Mike Brown, and more. So suit up and take it out in episode 351 with the NBA-Team!

NBA-Team: Free Agency Roundup

Adam rumbles, bumbles, and stumbles through the infancy of this year's free agent signings. 

NBA-Team: There Was A Game 7?

We had a game 7, but did anyone notice ? Thanks to ESPN's decision to cover the Durant trade, the Knicks ongoing coaching search, the Dallas Cowboys, and literally anything else, a historically great season was kind of undermined. So of course Andrew and Adam discuss the durant trade, load management, the draft, oh yeah, and the championship finals. 

NBA-Team: Gone Fishin': Mo' Money, Mo' Problems.

These teams all had championship aspirations, and invested as such. However, they all fell short and now have some expensive questions to ask. Teams covered are: BOS, CLE, GSW, DEN, and MIN. NY was here as well, but they seemed to answer that question by firing their coach...which I don't think many would have guessed. Enjoy. 

PTBN's NBA-Team: 2025 NBA Finals Preview

WE are FINALLY at the end of the road for the 2025 NBA Championship series, and all signs lead to... Oklahoma City and Indiana?! Adam Silver might be shedding tears explaining that to ESPN, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are more than ready to talk about X's and O's and the Jimmy's and Joe's, or in this case, the Shai's and Tyrese's and Chet's. The Finals will start fast, but will the Thunder's top-ranked defense be able to bog down the Pacer's torrid shooting this postseason? Who will guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and does Tyrese Haliburton have one more clutch play left in him for the Finals? Riche and Adam also discuss the conference finals in the previous round, small market teams finally getting the last laugh for once in the NBA, and more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

NBA-Team: 2022 Rookie Extensions

After many years of this being buried at the end of the yearly Pre-Agency, Andrew finally gets to discuss in length who from the 2022 Rookie Class deserves lucrative contract extensions and what their range should be.

NBA-Team: Gone Fishin': The Field

In this batch of this season's post mortems, Andrew and Adam look at teams who are too good to be in the tanking list, too stable to be in the "best interests of the organization," but not good enough to be in the league's elites. Teams covered are:POR, SA, MIL, ORL, DET, LAC, LAL, HOU.

NBA-Team: 2025 Conference Finals Preview

NBA-Team: False Flagg Operation

The NBA Draft Lottery is in...and the team who gave away one of the best players in the NBA for pennies on the dollar was rewarded with the number one pick? Hmmmm...conspiracy maybe? Well, let's get our tin foil hats on and talk about Dallas, with all their 1.8% odds, somehow possibly saving the future of their franchise? Oh yeah, Adam is also bummed about the Celtics window (seemingly) being slammed shut. Enjoy!

NBA-Team: Capture the Flagg

Andrew and Adam are back with more port mortems of teams that raced to the bottom of the standings (well, most of these teams did) in order to improve their odds for winning this year's draft lottery and getting Cooper Flagg. Some teams were tossed down here through early season injuries, and then there's just toronto, who no one knows what they're doing. Teams covered are UTA, WAS, CHA, NO, PHI, BKN, TOR. Enjoy!

NBA-Team: Decisions Made in the Best Interest of the Organization

In the first part of this seasons' post-mortems, Andrew and Adam look at teams who were sunk this season due to mettling from the office or ownership. From trading your franchise cornerstone to publicly calling out your star player then suspending your star player, these teams had some internal distractions. Teams covered are CHI, MIA, SAC, PHX, ATL, DAL, and MEM. Enjoy.
