Bucks beatman Eric Nehm of the Athletic is our guest to break down Milwaukee’s quest to return to the league’s elite.

• What we can take away from last year, as injured as it was?
• How much do the 4 core players (Giannis, Dame, Lopez, and Middleton) have left to carry a limited roster?
• Why Gary Trent, Jr. is such an important piece
• Is Damian Lillard on the downside or can he bounce back with a better offseason?
• Whether the Bucks depth is improved over last year and if it can provide enough support for Milwaukee to contend
• The Bucks’ strengths and weaknesses and our predictions for the season.

Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com lends his expertise as one of the best beat writers in the business to discuss a put up or shut up season for the Cavs.

• What can we take away from an injured season a year ago?
• Can Kenny Atkinson get this group to the next level? What changes is he making in their offense?
• The possible improvements in the games of Evan Mobley and Darius Garland that could increase this team’s ceiling.
• Whether this team is talented enough to compete for a championship
• How Atkinson’s rotation will play out, and how deeper bench options like Ty Jerome, Tristan Thompson, Jaylon Tyson, and Sam Merrill could fit in.
