We're back! We discuss:

• The Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis signings in Boston and why both are bad, but Boston will likely still be good.
• Briefly about Bronnie and how sports has a sad history of risk, even to the young and healthy.
• We review a list of 101 NBA Nicknames (https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/lists/greatest-nicknames-in-nba-history/ thanks Thomas Neumann!) and prepare for a fun Tier game in a few weeks.

We're back to talk:

• NBA Free Agency and why contract analysis is difficult -- unlike player evaluation.
• Damian Lillard's current saga in Portland
• Every, if not most, important free agency signing as of 7/11/2023. Some highlights:
  • Austin Reeves
  • Haliburton vs Sabonis
  • Brook Lopez
• Why Andre Drummond's sentiment that being a good teammate in attitude matters, really, his stats just aren't as important as others in terms of pay in the NBA.
