In this episode of the Baseline NBA Podcast, we dissect the performances of the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, and Atlanta Hawks.

We’ll analyze key players’ contributions, team dynamics, and what the future holds for these franchises. Join us as we deliver our autopsy report on these teams’ seasons.

Golden State Warriors The Warriors faced a conundrum with integrating young players with Hall of Famers. Despite Klay Thompson’s efforts, questions about his remaining potential with the Warriors arose alongside Steph Curry. The team’s playoff journey ended abruptly leaving the Dubs as one of the most expensive teams in league. 

Sacramento Kings The Kings’ season was cut short after a play-in loss to the Pelicans, despite their capability to beat top Western Conference teams. The team’s purple victory beam remained unlit as they failed to secure a playoff spot5. The Kings now face a period of reflection and planning for the next season with Malik Monk as a free agent. 

Chicago Bulls Executive VP Arturas Karnisovas has vowed to make changes after missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The Bulls’ season ended with a heavy loss to the Heat, highlighting the need for a strategic overhaul. Have we seen the last of DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic? Is it time to turn the franchise over to Coby White?

Atlanta Hawks The Hawks are at a crossroads, with trade rumors surrounding Dejounte Murray following another play-in tournament exit. Trae Young faced criticism for not leading the Hawks into the playoffs, sparking debates about his future with the team as well.

Tune in for a deep dive into each team’s struggles and triumphs, and what moves they might make in the offseason. Don’t miss this comprehensive autopsy report on The Baseline NBA Podcast.
